"Beyond the rim of the star-light
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."

These images should help make the Constellation Class a bit more accurate. Courtesy of Doug Drexler's blog :)

Ahh okay. My main reason for posting these here, was that it appears your nacelles are a bit inaccurate compared to these images. Specifically, the aft end of them looks decidedly different. I'm usually a stickler to canon, so I always try and point out these things in the hopes of getting things to be as canon as can be :P

Yeah Doug made this model from the TMP directors cut Enterprise. And I'm using me recent Refit as a donour ship. I have already removed the RCS thrusters but they still need more work.

That's looking real slick there Baz :thumbsup:.  Have you thought about making a Miranda Class someday?  Not a request or anything, but judging from the awesomeness that is your Constitution and now Constellation, I think you could do a really amazing Miranda too.

So, no canon nacelles on your version then? Rest of the ship looks great so far, but the nacelles obviously look a bit different.

As I said, they still need work, patience young one.

Canon is what people argue exists on ships that don't exist.
