I'd imagine it would still be NX. The NX/NCC rule didn't apply in ENT, it was a matter of ship-class designation. The NX-01 and its sisters are all of the NX class.

i agree with this... you could make it NX-01A

or maybe this IS the time the NX was changed to NCC

Here is a scale of the BOP against my JJprise. The jjprise is canon (large scale) and I have made the BOP TOS canon size.

So yes it does look small compared to the Enterprise but prime verse ships should not be so different.

ITS NOT THAT BIG D: u know it.....scale it down....

Well as it is a super tos version it can be a little bigger.

Back to the NX refit here is the look I'm going for.

Plating seems a little heavy.  If it is beveled, I would tone it down a bit.  Otherwise, quite sexy! :D

some more saucer work.

The grey colour is supposed to be the cannon TOS colour, though not sure I like it.

I'd say it's because we're not used to seeing the ship painted that way.  It looks like the secondary hull is textured a nice color, couldn't you make the rest of the ship like that?

Would look better in a pure TOS texture style imho.

There is to much surface detail to have a flat look of the TOS connie.

It looks too greeney/blue for a grey. Perhaps desaturate it a little?

Panel it and aztec it, but keep some of the "bumps"

Maybe more like the Remastered TOS style would work?

it has to retain the surface details of the original ship just paint star fleet grey.

Here I have toned down the saturation

Ditto.  Remember Baz, gotta be careful with this one, it's a ship with a big fan base, and unlike the earlier (or later) Enterprises, this has a lot of surface details to keep track of. ;)

The bevel looks a bit weird around that red line, it looks like the panels and red line are hovering over the shadows

I think the textures need to be slightly darker as well as a more metalic appearance in order for it to have an authentic NX-01 feel.

Don't forget these are still flat diffused textures, no specs yet.
