Watching the TMP Director's Cut last night (for sickbay screengrabs), I had the Michael Okuda, Text commentary on. During his commentary, he stated that the Refit Enterprise was intended to look unfinished (mainly because they didn't know if the sets would all be finished on time). This explains why the shuttle bay was open to the cargo deck, but later closed. Some sets where also intended to be used in different locations, like the rec-deck. They moved it from aft, primary hull, to the lower secondary hull (big bay windows....), then moved it to the edge of the primary hull. Along the way, the set didn't shrink to fit. The two big turbo-shafts where originally supposed to be the same ones that go up to the bridge.
My personal view is that the convex curve under the primary hull isn't really intended to cut that deck height down, so much, even though it looks that way from the outside. The rec-deck fits just like the forwards corridor from engineering...
As much as I like David Schmidt's deck plan, having the turboshaft down the front of the dorsal just doesn't work, either.

Forced to agree with you there. The next version will have it mid-pylon.

That's why you never picked up on all the coded stuff we said about you.

Ace, Lewis is looking for the Enterprise-A deck plans that Gilso was working on. The link you have has no directory for the plans and no link to them. Granted, the directory could have been renamed and the link to the tour hidden (very well-hidden since I didn't see it on any of the pages).
Lewis, this thread is Gilso's message about his site shutting down.
It is a shame that the tour is gone; those were some very nice and impressive blueprints.

Yeah, I realized later that the link didn't have the plans, but I figured he still might like the other stuff on there. As to the even earlier thread...well, there's a link to it in the latter one. Blah.

True, but it does have the announcement. I noticed in your link that Bernd said an email he got from Gilso in this past summer said he was trying to get his website back up and running. So, that's good news if it does happen.
