Check out all the TOS/TAS/FJ ships: the TAS cargo ship, Saladin, Coronado....lotsa goodies. Even lit shuttlebays.

It's enough to make me believe that Enterprise could've been made convincingly using a more TOS-style look. I mean cripes... if I saw that station on tv I'd wet myself... it's bleedin' awesome!

Looks kinda stupid with all those docks. It would look better with just two.

Seams as though they had the same idea as myself, at least from a configuration point of view. Although my station was on a much larger scale.
I really like how they aged it so it looks significantly older than the docked ships and the style is very reminiscent of the space station depicted in Picard's quarters, which is a nice touch. My only complaint is the use of 1950's b-movie style flying saucer...but I suppose modellers have to work with what's available.

Part of the idea was to keep the station's cost cheap and the parts they used were almost all bought from a local Dollar Store.
The C57 saucer is a pretty good choice for the main hull, I think.
I tend to like the station with only two or three shipdocks but hey, the model's modular, so anything goes.
It's definitely food for thought as I plan my own smaller dock-station (though mine will be of DS9 vintage, of course).
