Looks nice, maybe something with excelsior markings with a Galaxy colour scheme?

i love it! great job wiley. Perhaps a bit more blue? Like the ambassador (i'm colorblind so if it wasn't blue my apologies)

It was blue alright.

However I'm liking the paint job as it is right now.  Though I'm sure he's not finished with it!

The upper saucer and the lower saucer is mostly done other than cargo/transport emitters, phaser warning labels and misc small details.

Baz and Wiley, neck and neck.  I would hybridize the two, namely taking Wiley's saucer rim, impulse engines, and aztec pattern and Baz's windows and aztec colors.  Not quite sure on the model.

I'm really loving both Wiley and Baz's versions of this ship!

Loving everything about both ships...but what i would suggest..which might be too late because you are already texturing...buuuut how about splitting the dorsal and ventral phaser arrays from one to three like how the Ambassador was..since this is supposed to be a precursor to that... and then adjust the arcs so that two arrays can fire simaltaneously...

Love the Probert Ambassador, always thought that should be how the Enterprise C should have looked like. Are you going to do Enterprise textures for her as well Wiley?

is it possible to have a variant with a more blue glowing deflector...would seem more in place with the established ships around the time :)

My Enterprise-E's are currently being tested, and they will be uploaded within the week. I am also still working on the Proto-Ambassador, but I do not have that much to show yet.

question between yours and DJ's ship are some of the window sizes/layouts diff? (not talking about colors/lights)
Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.

I do not completely understand your question. Are the window sizes different?

I've noticed that the corners are a little different.  I think yours are bit more squared off at the end, where mine tend to be rounder.  I noticed that early one, and I think these ones are actually more accurate, actually.
