I'm certainly glad that my post wasn't taken in a negative light, or construed as being nit picky. I must admit I felt a bit of trepidation posting that, as I've seen some backlash against criticism here recently. So I thank you for seeing my intent.
My view on it, is that these are absolutely wonderful, accurate representations of the Masao's Museum fleet. Thus since you are striving for accuracy and are nearly as close as any reproduction can be, I see it as a shame not to go all the way.
Though I will say that either way you decide to go, I'm definitely downloading these and I'm sure they will become favorites of mine. Also, Thanks for modeling all of these TOS ships and making them available to us. It's an under appreciated era, and I'm glad someones filling it out with such quality and attention to detail.
addendum: While I feel that that while extra detail can be nice at times, grates are indeed present on quite a few of the museum ships, while absent on others. To me that implies that those traits are intentional by the author, and the grates or lack there of are a feature of the ships design.
sub addendum: Only 2 of the ships currently made should have no grates, the latter 2 simply have a continuous grate instead of a split one, so no details are actually lost.
