I agree...a TMP Connie from DJ would be awesome as well!!! Keep it up bro!
Hopefully he may take it up(crosses fingers) as for now lets watch him work his magic on the original classic

Looks great DJ, would be nice to see different versions of it... (*Crosses fingers and clamps eyes shut* Phase II... Phase II)

Anyway, looks good, brilliant even, you do realise that if this ends up as good as it looks...
People will want a lot more  :P

I have installed and played every version of the TOS constitution to date and I have to say that the idea of DJ creating one is very exciting.

  Looking at his past work as a reference, I am sure that we can expect a very solid and well built ship that performs well and also has no model errors (a problem is almost all other TMP and TOS ships in BC have).

  I really can't wait for this.

  Are you going to do a clean version or is this one going to be a bit weathered like the one in the remastered TOS?

She looks fantastic! I agree with MajorMagna in that I'd like to see some different versions, but not different models, simply alternate textures. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for an NX styled hull, more of a dark metal with the aztecing.

You can almost hear the opening chords of the TOS theme when you enlarge the pictures.

well, I've done some calculations:  The average turnaround time for one of my mods from first appearance to release is 9 months.  It's like I'm pregnant and giving birth to ships.

I can't wait to see the textures...if they are anything like his other ships than we are in for a high detail treat like no other.

  I wonder if he has a refit in mind for the future....

Does anyone have any VERY detailed and accurate schematics of the Constitution refit that are in scale for each view?  Perhaps from the actual plans book?  Most of the stuff out on the net is just re-draws that appear to be inaccurate and pretty sloppy to be honest.

If someone has a copy of Mr Scotts guide laying around could scan them in for you. If I remember correctly it has front, back, top, bottom and side views all 1:1 scale with each other and I would imagine they came from the studio.
