Treknophyle:Looking forward to seeing the Excelsior plans - a sorely ignored ship in fandom, IMHO. I have Adobe Acrobat, so feel free to mail stuff over if you want it PDF'ed 
I like the way the shuttlebay sample looks - let's hope the whole plans come out so well!
I do have some partial layouts based on "Elite Force" LCARS screens which may or may not be of use - the game's great for getting a feel of how Engineering and the shuttlebay are laid out, even if they feel too big... and I also have a stack of resources from the "Star Trek Files" magazines. Let me know if they're of any use!
Interesting to know that you've been in touch with Mike R. I really love his Avenger/Miranda plans, and although I like your Enterprise-A plans I do prefer the higher detail present in his work. Then again, they're all just as well thought out... it's only a difference in technology (plus he's a pro draftsman)
I do a little 3D work myself. Nothing major, but I'm currently building some TOS canon and speculative models. If you could use some help doing 3D work for any future projects (and I will freely admit, a fan-designed interactive tech manual would just rock ) then please feel free to get in touch. I also plan to take a long course (degree-level) which includes C++ and Visual Basic programming, so maybe in a couple of years I'll be able to crank out a decent interface
Finally, remember that when you're doing deck one, according to the season one episode "Twisted" there's a cargo bay there...
