If my Memory serves DJ did not make his canon. Also there are two variants of the Ambassidor so you can either build the older 1701-C version or the updated model seen later in TNG.

The Ambassidor would be a good TNG ship to cut your teeth on so I would say go for it. You will defiantly get downloads with a new "canon" version of this ship.

i do not know the difference, can you post some reference's for me, i think im doing to try and build it :D - i'll go with the Ent-C coz then with your Ent-B we can maybe look at some lost era ships

There are some decent shots over at EAS.  The Zhukov Variant is what, I believe, Baz is referring too.

didn't Tiq have a redone Olympic in the pipeline at one point?

I know of at least two guys that I asked permission from to do their designs once we get the hang.

there's also a couple concepts for the refit hanging around at Cygnus.  I know one of them might make a good Enterprise H

The Lost Era is the time between the last TMP movie and the beginning of TNG.  This includes basically the run of the Enterprise B and C, from around 2290 to 2360.

in which a movie (instead of a reboot) or new television series should be set, since that area is largely untouched and has many possibilities...
but thats a convo for a different thread in a different forum lol :P

I'd say go for it! There are also a few nice TLE designs on Ex Astris you could consider too. :D

I'd point you to this.

Here are some comparrisons between the two variants though the same studio model.

http://www.ex-astris-scientia.org/articles/ambassador.htm

I would suggest you merge the two main variants.  Yamaguchi neck, impulse engine, Ent-C for most everything else.

Oh i'm well awear of the difference's am going to make them both, its just the IMPULSE for the ent C that i am interested in at the moment, Its blue, ONLY fed ship except TOS connie that was blue, and even that in the hd-remake where red. so Should the NORMAL no different ent C have red impulse is basically all im asking

Well yeah, what I'm saying is red impulse engine... and move the neck too.  I think it looks stupid sticking out.

If u look at TNG the Zhukov (Yamaguchi) variant has a red impulse glow
The Enterprise-C has the blue impulse glow
I hope you do both models
there are great starship designs and there is crap
