U.S.S. Enterprise NCC 1701 - TOS

Looking marvelous. One thing that I noticed on the aft nacelle caps: I don’t think their diameter is supposed to be less than the main nacelle.

Oh, you're right. I must have done that unintentionally. I am aware they are the same diameter, but maybe I scaled something by accident. No problem. Easy fix.

I went through and corrected the inaccuracies you guys pointed out. I did purposefully introduce one inaccuracy. The bolts that hold the bussard caps on. I just don't like how they look. They don't feel right, so I took them off.

That looks wonderful @PixelMagic

Yeah the bolts on the nacelle tabs on the NASM model does look a little odd. The only time I recall seeing the nacelle tabs up-close in the series was when this shot was used and to me it looked more like a pin (or antenna in my build.)

One more super minor thing I just noticed that you may or may not want to do anything about: The green dome above the shuttlebay has a base that follows the curve of the hull and isn't flat where the base and dome meet.

Oh, I see what you mean. My base does follow the hull, but yeah, my dome is flat at the bottom. I may leave it that way, because honestly it looks weird the actual way.

Looks fantastic!

Excellent work, PixelMagic!

The Enterprise is full of niggling little details like this that have caught many modelers by surprise. For such a “simple” ship she has some unusual features!

Absolutely agree. Even some of the major shapes have these unusual features like the main neck transitioning from being round to flat in the back when connecting to the engineering hull.
