Don't agree w/your Sig-Line, but I like your Phase II Connie. Very nicely done. I think your secondary hull actually "flows" a bit better as a sort of bridge between the TOS and Refit hulls than the pics I've seen of the Phase II 'E', as well.

Nice work, Masaki. The only suggestion I would make is that the registry on top of the hull should follow the hull lines a bit more. The slant of the letters should be the same as that of the radial lines coming from the center of the hull.

I have always wanted to see a Phase II starship that was rendered as well as this one has been. Great job. I can not wait to see more of these intermediary ships. Are you planning on any more views, orthographic?

I'm planning on another views(top, fore, rear...etc) and another Intermediate Constitution class ship.

Nice work, Masaki! Though the TMP Enterprise is a massive improvement (and one of my all-time favorite ships), the Phase II design is still cool looking, even if mainly for its unusual appearance.

The only suggestion I would make would be to underline the registry on the nacelle, put "USS CONSTITUTION" underneath it in a smaller type and move the whole thing to the right of that groove instead of the left. Also what is that oval feature on the underside of the primary hull? If it's meant to be a forward phaser array then I'd move it forward a little more.

I'm glad to see this new edition to the Starfleet Museum. It would be logical to assume that their were various designs, much like the actual film production, for a refit of the Connie-class. In fact, there was a fan-film made by a UCLA student that proposed that the Yorktown had a similar design as a test-bed for the new linear intermix warp drive. I forgot it's name and have never seen it, but it was mentioned in an issue of Starlog long ago. George Takei was also in it, as he knew the student and did it as a favor.
