Ambassador class

I didn't even blink at Jackill or Joe's deck count but now that you mention it they're both seeming rather odd.
LCARS, the fantail is right for the C, but they modified that fantail and other details for subsequent appearances of the model as other ships. I remember reading comments to indicate that those were refits in the Trekverse and the 'C' represented more or less the original Ambassador design.

You're right, Praetor. Sorry. I did some more research and came back and deleted my post. I knew that a year ago but had forgotten.
And SicOne sold me on the idea of updating the deck count, which I did. And Jackill's version, with more decks than the Galaxy class, was a bit surprising to me the first time I saw it.
For now, I've got it like this, which seems reasonable, although I noticed my saucer rims are slightly off, even though I reversed and pasted the aft one after drawing the forward one (but probably later modified it when trying different ways of showing the Bussard collector while clarifying how the impulse engines fit in there).

Well Rick S. Gave the real length which is 478.55m so I played with the hight and I got 126m Then Rick S gave the hight he use for making the cutaways, which is 13 feet. 126m to feet is 413 feet. I get 31.7 decks. Now you could round down to 31 or even 30 decks.
The deck count could jump up and down depending what the ship needs. Now you can have tanks at the bottom of the ship, that takes up the space of 1 1/2 decks or maybe two decks, which would look like one large deck. Also the jefferies tubes, maybe the ones on the Enterprise-C are larger then the ones on the Enterprise-D or B. That too could give you a low deck count.
I love even numbers, so I would go 30, but I have no problem with 31 or even 32.
