Great ship Gustavo!

I think the secondary hull is a bit too small... but still awesome stuff dude.

I would have the grill on both sides then the pendant and reg running down the top of the nacelle

She looks great mind you!

Or maybe the grill on the bottom and pendants on both sides?

Or no blue grill bit at all and have a shorter pendant and reg on both sides?

Thanks for the comments and suggestions guys. And for the Welcome CyAn1d3.

Now that is the best take on a solo TOS nacelle I have ever seen. :thumbsup:

Excellent!

But... I still think the secondary hull looks a bit too "stumpy"   ;)

Thanks guys.

moed,  actually I lengthened the secondary hull from the original design, where the shuttle bay came almost flush with the bottom trailing edge of the neck pylon.  Don't really want to lengthen it any further as the ship will look like an upside down Kelvin.

No worries dude.  It's just a very minor thing.  And you've done an awesome job on it.

Cheers!

Hmm, then what about shifting the entire secondary back wards, so that the neck meets the secondary slightly closer to the deflector?  It might help make it look a tad longer without having to lengthen it.
I'm with moed tbh, it does look too stumpy to me in it's current form.
