Okay, so she's about Excelsior size, right? And four nacelles, not just two? A big beast if you ask me.
I can see impulse engines on the saucer, so I assume the engineering hull stern is going to be free for a shuttlebay or two then. *Are* those shuttlebays? You might want to add some "door detail" there.
Is the ship armed? Strip phasers (to go with that red-ramscoop "modern look") or turrets (to go with the general Excelsior look)? We want to see 'em guns!
All four-nacellers so far have had a problem with the deflector dish. Where is it? The blunt-nosed Constellation could plausibly have it at the very bow, but this baby's bow is too sharp for that. Is there an inset dish somewhere?
Does the ship have some sort of a special mission? I'm a sucker for such things. You could perhaps add some mission-specific hardware there: prominent guns for a warship, prominent *lack* of guns (accentuated by the presence of other detail) on a courier vessel, cargo doors on a fast transport, weird antennas on a spyship or scout.
And windows, I wanna see windows! Perhaps not as many as in actual TNG-era ships, but even an Excelsior-era ship has quite a few.
Do yourself and us a tremendous favour and sign up for an account with either Brinkster or Host.

Well, here is the detailed version Timo wanted: Here
Well, I tried adding an engineering hull but it didn't look right. I am making variants with weaponry, cargo holds, sensors, and intelligence-y stuff. Expect them later. (Thanks Timo) The aft space of the secondary hull adjacent of the lower shuttlebay is the place where the shuttles are stored, the doors open and it flies out. That sounds about right, yeah.

Yay! Defiant found a server to use to display his pics. And they're in the correct format for jpegs. Now, you need to learn not to post big images in your post, but just to link to them. "Big" meaning the length is larger than 1024 pixels. Even 800 pixels wide would be stretching it in terms of "big".
