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.

Did you already release that base and I missed it? :hithead:

 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.

Your engine glows are the best that i've seen for TOS ships.

I agree with moed, push the pod backward a bit. 
Otherwise, a lovely job!
