Cool. Are you going to texture it? That would add a lot.

I'll defer this to someone with more texturing experience...

I think the easiest way to do this is to lay out the UV's of the unsmoothed half, then duplicate the model and combine, flip the UV's and sew them together, and then tweak the UV's to make them fit the smoothed model...
