I need help with tips on my models

Hi people of polycount,
I'm a college student in a game design course and i putting a portfolio together.
my course don't do much 3D modelling so i learned everything my self and i want to push further in my designs.
Can you guys point out any problem and ways i could improve?
any comment is appreciated. 
This image is of a low poly shuttle i just made can you point any problems.

Are you working from a concept, or is this all from your own design?

It'll help us give us reference to what you're trying to achieve.

This is from my own design that i got after looking at some shuttles from other games.

Ahh, ok.  So I guess at this point my critique is two fold.

1) //Design

I can't tell if I am not finding the design appealing, or I'm lacking the art direction context that the shuttle exists.  If it's the former, I would recommend working from an existing shuttle concept, or in Photoshop, comping together the design to a rough concept.

If the latter, push forward but do NOT use it as a crutch to justify it.  It still needs to look appealing if possible.  Right now, given the shapes, I could see this being in a game like RoBlox, or a LEGO game.  Texturing would be simple and dependent on material communication.  Is it a toy?  Is it a real-life scale space ship?

2) //The Technical Issues

Is this your high poly model or low poly?

i agree with the design. i am bad at design ship as i need to do more research.
thanks for pointing that out
as for the Technical issues i already stated that this is a low poly model.
is there anything more critique you have this is very useful information to me.
