There really is an ncc.jpg, but the one listed here is actually a link to ncc1.jpg. Go to the directory to get the real file. And yes, ncc1 and ncc4 are the same. ncc2 and ncc3 are not the same. Different file size and ncc3 was made because part of the nacelles on ncc2 were cut off. 3 is just a scan of the page slightly moved over than its placement for 2.
Anyway, great pics. I noticed Mojo used less greeblies, the standard Excelsior bridge and added what could be bussard ramscoops to the nacelles. Oh, yeah, no phaser cannons on the pylons right above the nacelles, the "shuttlebay" may not be one as the "doors" looks like a golden piece of hull plating with no "grid" to suggest a fantail door.
But pretty good!

Alright, so who wants to begin the arguement about wether or not that's a shuttlebay up front? I personally say yes, it's a shuttlebay, merely because we have no other shuttlebay looking this on the Centaur EXCEPT for those two doors looking things on the bottom of the saucer that could be modern drop-bays.

The CGI ship looks way better than the actual model. Maybe that Intrepid/Constitution ship might have the same treatment.

Well, Mojo did takes some personal creative liberties when he made the cgi model.
On the study model, I agree it is a shuttlebay, but on the cgi model, it may not because the "door" doesn't appear to have the clamshell "grills".
And what do you mean when you say, "there is no constitution impulse emitters on the miranda part between the nacells like the 3d model"? The only impulse "emitters" are the Excelsior impulse engines which is the same on both models. If you're talking about the weapons pod, what difference are you referring to? I see no difference in that area.
I'm going on a limb here and say the cgi Centaur is the same class as study Centaur, but is a variant or subclass.

Er, it is of course a bay (whether shuttle or cargo on the Excelsior is debatable) part. No one is arguing about that. But what is it on the Centaur?
Of course, that top picture goes to show that, as models of models go, this one isn't really all that accurate. Pretty, sure. Much better looking, really. But not exactly a perfect duplicate.
