when you finish, I'm downloading.  i collect TOSes.

everything else looks ideal.  the neck, however...I agree, needs something else.  and, frankly, scooted foreward a bit. 

I just had an idea for an alternate.  maybey a DOUBLE TOS style neck?

Me: mine [my bridges] would probably be simple to get the characters to use.  the only person that sits is the captian.
Baz: space is vast there[sic] legs will be tired by the time they get to the next planet

Here are some minor changes I think might work.

I have shortend the underside of the engineering hull, curved the step and added the rear step.
Re profiled the fantail to be more TOS and enlarged the neck.

This is fantastic.  Although the warp engines indeed look good I think a more traditional TOS approach here would be more fitting.  Either way this is good stuff.

That's great! Back in the day, I did a similar version in google Sketchup. I actually prefer your version, but have a look, it may provide you with some more inspiration!
