This is one great ship Joker sir.I have a question though. Shouldn't the Reliant ( any letter ) still be a Miranda Class ship ? My point being this.......The Enterprise ( TOS,TMP refit and A) remained a Connie till they were decomissioned. The Miranda class is still around in the TNG era so logically The Reliant ( any letter) should still be a Miranda Class .And finally I would have thought the Federation would never name a second ship let alone 5 varients ::) Reliant, after what happened to the original ship. Just my $.02. So now I have the Reliant,Reliant A(P81),and this one.....Anyone up to designing the B, C, and D varients ?

Depends on who you talk to...
Enterprise went from "Starship / Connie" class in TOS to "Enterprise" class in TMP. Ent-B was an Excelsior-class, Ent-C an Ambassador, Ent-D a Galaxy, and Ent-E a Soverign.
If I have concerns about the Reliant making it up to an E-model is why isn't Starfleet doing it across the board? Farragut, Hood, Intrepid, and numerous other ship names are recycled from previous ships, but they always get a new NCC number and no "II - III - IV" or "B-C-D" treatments. Enterprise got it for being the first (maybe only) of the Original Connies to survive numerous 5-year missions.
Meanwhile, the Sovvy version of the Reliant does look sweet...

I guess you missed my points. I agree with your thoughts but,The Enterprise remained the same class of ship till that class was decomissioned.Obviosly subsequent Enterprises would be a different hull class,because the Connies were gone.The Miranda Class is still in production during the TNG era so if you follow the guideliness/pattern established during the movies......the Reliant ( any letter ) should have been a Miranda Class ship right? And as for "Enterprise Class" its just a connie subclass.No one builds an entirely new class os starships just to decommision them. Brand new in ST IV,A mess in ST V,decommisioned in VI ? ::). There's no arguement on Jokers awesome work. Just the name and letter, it mirrors the big E .
out of curioisity, how big is it? Same size as a Sov saucer or??
model covnerted to 420meters. I'll try to get some BC shots up in a little while.
Yea I kinda guessed as to where the impulse engines would be if the whole soverign saucer was there, and measured from the tip to that imaginary point and 420 is what I ended up with. Being next to a sov at 680 seems about right, hopefully you agree, I also posted gallery's in a new thread so if you see them save the link cuz that's where the rest will go once I know how big they are.
i wa s curious if i might be able to use ur saucer textures for another ship of mine. yes this is asking for permission. considering there isnt a tutorial on how to due textures to a blank ship with no uvs or anything like it. to bad u dont have one of those tutorials. i can take a model that has the text maps on it already and do all the hocus pocus with them, but for the life of me i can say due the textures to madel i made by myself.
