I don't want to know anything confidential. I am just wondering what your general thoughts are and if you have any other insights since you've been more involved with them than a lot of others.
I really don't know much. I work with an editor; We communicate by email. He tells me what they want, I send him sketches and artwork, he returns them with comments and suggestions, and the cycle repeats. Both jobs I did for them were only about 6 weeks start to finish. Both jobs have been a lot of fun. I have absolutely no complaints. The hardest part is being sworn to secrecy about the work. Time passes, and the mailman eventually brings me a check and a box of free books.
What goes on in the company beyond that, I have no idea. If you go to the Trek Lit forum at Trek BBS or the Trek forum at the S&S website you might find out more.

Masao did you also work on a comic, cause the new "Romulans" comic features a Romulan ship which bears a striking resemblance to some ships on your sight. It's even green.

Slightly off topic, but the Excalibur's registry has been made canon as NCC-1664, while Hood is NCC-1703. In the pic of the four Connies in formation, the Excalibur is at bottom with the Hood being at the right. I still can't tell which of the other two are Potemkin and Lexington respectively, but given that Lexington, Hood, and Excalibur have had their registries made canon, Potemkin's registry would probably be made canon as NCC-1657.

Nope. That's not my work.

Did you notice that the Lexington (NCC-1709) has FOUR bow windows? I a little disappointed that we didn't get a variety of ship classes rather than just four Constitutions, but little differences like that just make my day!

We'll be picking this one apart all next week. They said that the ships will have little differences while remaining overall Constitution-class ships - and window confirguration seems to be one of them. Tiny things, but they're thinking of us. Sweet!

PS - Though it should have been easy to, for example, give one or two of the ships the older-style nacelle ends the Enterprise model had...

Speaking in the universe of the show,it would actually be better to have 4 identical ( or nearly identical) ships for the computer test. If they used connies with vent-ended-nacells, wich point to an earlier model, there would be differences like upgraded weapons, or new hull plates that disperse phaser bursts better, which could throw off the experiment.
Of course, I too would like to see more than one class of starfleet ship for this era
