Really cool!

I must have missed this one the first time around.  But I like it.

She looks good mate...I would loose alot to all the windows on the Brown area on the saucer though...as TOS ships didn't really have alot of them
also you may want to turn off some lights...lol

Yep.. Looks great, although I agree with AZ on the windows, they seem to take away the TOS feel... apart from that... top dog!!!

They do have a point with the windows, but then again it occured to me that maybe this TOS Excelsior ship was the beginning bridge between the TOS and TMP eras.  I know, it's a stretch, but hey, couldn't it work?

I really like the design.  It's a nice idea, although I'd shape it up a bit more for it to work in the TOS-era rather than aquire most of its looks from the TMP design.  Again, the design is still good basically, and I look forward to its completion.

That would be true...except that the TMP ships also had less windows...and the Excelsior saucer(like the other TMP and older TOS ships) only has windows on the saucer edges and sides of the ship ...in TNG the saucer of a Starship had windows on the saucer dorsally and/or ventrally)

OOOHHH, missed this...looks great, but, as was said, the windows need to go...or be reduced in number at the very least. ;)

I have to agree on the windows - maybe if they weren't so bright.

Just my $0.2

Also, if the "neck" was smooth as opposed to ribbed, I think that would be more TOS looking
