As I can't say much for the refit (I don't TOS very often), I do like the last shot there.  It's a pretty!

Looking great Gus.

The only minor thing I would say is that the deflector section seems to be sticking out a bit too far IMO... makes it look somewhat "fragile".

Maybe push it back a little to give it a more solid feel.

 Tq,  no I have not released the base yet. I am having an issue with it that one of the arms and the attached pod disapears when the base takes damage.

Otherwise, a lovely job!
