So far, it's not bad.

I can't imagine it having TOS nacelles on it though. I know it is intended as a TOS ship but it mihgt have more appeal if you put TMP nacelles on it instead of putting the starndard TOS nacelles.
Can't wait for 2014 to start.

I agree with the same general comment.  This doesn't feel like it would be in the TOS era, and might look better with TMP like nacelles.

However, then again, you could always say that the ship was built at the time where TOS and TMP meet.  Give her a few TMP features, including nacelles, and you could pull it off.

Not all TOS nacelles have to look like Connie nacelles.  Why don't you try something Excelsior like with a TOS flair?

I actually had some kind of "TOS-ish" Sovy nacelles in mind.  :P

I think Shino already got the idea. :thumbsup:

Revised version of your nacelle. Still quite a bit too much "TNG style", but definitely an improvement for a TOS-era ship.

TOS era nacelles should be very simple shapes, remember a TNG style nacelle is supposed to be like two of them put together.  I would round it off more and maybe flip it upside down, or go with a more linear TMP style.

Actually I like where KCS is going, it would look good with Phase II nacelles.

Alright folks.
Update time!

Those nacelles are a tad too small, don't you think?

Slightly thicker, but much longer.  They need to have a dangly feel.

I'd just lengthen them. They look good otherwise.
