Actually, I like it a lot. The only thing that bugs me are the redundant smaller shuttlebays near 3 and 4. that space could've been used to enlarge the main doors, giving it a wider field of access.
And the nacelles are too cool for a NCC-3xxxx ship.

Aban's Illustration www.thespeakeasy.com/alanfore
The hull's shaped a bit like a wet-navy ship's would be, and the horizontal pylons with their dark grooves sort of remind me of the Oberth aft primary hull. All that helps in creating the impression of a utilitarian cargo hauler.
I must agree with Ultra Magnus, though: the nacelles are way too cool . Something clumsier, perhaps similar to what the Olympics have...?
And whenever I try to think of that whale landing let alone taking off... Is there a gigantic aft landing leg to keep the fantail up or something?

It reminds me of something I saw while poking around at SFA the other day. Check this out: http://www.happy-soft.com/scifiart/ubb/ubbhtml/Forum1/HTML/000574.html
Oh, and as far as the dedication plaque goes, that's nobody's business but the Turks.

Those small doors are bays 3 and 4. They're just smaller so smaller items can be loaded/unloaded without necessitating opening the larger doors. It also means that things can be stacked up in front of the big doors..

Fabrux: Will probably have ago at doing a 3D thing once I've finished Bernd's Mediterranean. He mailed me today with a 101 thing to add. Not to worry though.
Welcome, Jason, and congratulations again!
Dave (request #102 ): Are you going to post the Med here (considering my lack of time)?
BTW, isn't there a whole portion missing on the ship at Scifi Art? It looks so unbalanced. I suggest to make it a cargo transport, and fill the gap with one or two detachable containers.
