Hmmm....maybe something more like this? http://www.st-minutiae.com/academy/anthropology114A/Romulan_2379.gif  I think a Bird of Prey this bad-@$$ needs something a bit more fearsome than the old Romulan bird symbol.

Great start on the NX-01!

The look I'm trying to achive is a meaner looking tos bird but with the rear sweeping winds have it look like it is diving for attack.

If you're going to make a new NX-01 you could always give this one a shot.  It's Doug Drexler's proposed NX-Class Refit for Enterprise Season 5.  Sadly we didn't get to see her in action, but we will be able to see her in the 2011 Ships of the line calender.

My love
Is wand'ring in star-flight
I know
He'll find in star-clustered reaches
Love,
Strange love a star woman teaches.
I know
His journey ends never
His star trek
Will go on forever.
But tell him
While he wanders his starry sea
Remember, remember me."

Baz im surprised you haven't done a JJ nx class, Why not take this design and re-imagine it as JJ?

Warning, the following statement is not meant to start a canon fight!!!

If you actualy think of it, Enterprise mostly is jjverse. Think of evety time you see the line up of enterprises on the 1701 rec room or on the wall in the breefing room on the 1701 d-e. You never see the NX with the rest of the enterprises. That being said, there are lost of canon stuff like clocking seen in the show that the tos crew first encountered. Also star trek had a chance to fix this by adding the NX model to the 1701 e's wall in Nemisis since the show was being made at the same time. But the events in the jjverse line up better with the events in Enterprise.

 Also, the split in the time lines only happend at the time of kirks birth,  so the ENT time line would still be intact.

Don't get me wrong, a redesign on the NX would be cool.

Jest a thought, i think Enterprise might have been better taken by trekkies if the ship had a diffrent name??

Like bankrupt said the  time line went a drift as James Kirk was born so anything before that point would be the same as the prime universe so John Archer and his Enterprise would be the same as the series.

But if it is some JJ action you want and since it has been nominated for this months MOTM I have dusted off the jjrefit and made the final tweaks prior to texturing.

She looks great baz!

Maybe try a shape like this for the bird(forgive the crudity of this picture, I didn't have time to make it detailed or to paint it).

I like that concpt the only thing I would change is to move the legs in like the tos version and flare the tail more but definatly a direction to go in.

Actually, I think of the JJ verse as a mostly similar independent reality that is not a "skew off" of the prime reality.

That's nice, a think a similar design to fit the underside would look good.
