Not the Jeffereries sketches at the start of this thread or Irishman's ortho renderings of same?
They do look cool, btw. I mean I don't like the design particularly (despite being a huge fan of modular mission components), but the execution is plainly beautiful. I'm a little unclear, is it a straight-through carrier-type deck side-to-side? Open the side doors and you see straight through? I'm guessing that would make landing while the ship was maneuvering kind of complicated.

I think the page scanned is only one of three from that issue with sketches on it.

Any more on the Monticello Irishman? What about the other scout yoru had got preliminaries on?
(Hijacks post) I've just been at my parents house overnight, and I found an ancient CAD program (called 'Design and CAD' I think) that my old design & technology teacher leant to me in about November 1999. It's a little bit primitive. Anyhew, out of boredom I made this - it's a sort of just post ENT version of the second one down on the left , the one labled 'INDEPENDANCE' (wasn't that Roddenberys first name for the Enterprise?).
In leiu of any other ideas, I'm calling it SS Monty, after my dog. He's quite ugly, and has a big head too, so there's the thinking behind it.
Any ways, comments on the ship, how crap the program is, and what I should replace said program with (and prices if known I guess) to make more lovely starships would be greatly appreciated.
It's influenced by Kareem Nassars Daedalus reimagining (the enginering hull), and Irishmans first ship in this post (the mid line deflector), as well as Matt Jeffries ideas of course - credit where it's due.
