Cool. I quite like the Oberth/Miranda mix; the sketch of the Excelcior behind the Enterprise looks pretty good too.

THe Miranda-like ship actually has a name written on it. Something ending in 'ENER' or so it appears. I actually quite like it, except the nacelles. I'd go with the same ones the regular Miranda and Constitution have actually.

Harry, can you do a couple more scans from the issue? Particularly, the really nice publicity still of the Enterpise in front of Spacedock with the Excelsior in pursuit, the new pics of the Spacedock prototype model, and the multiple views of the BoP study model would be very nice...

There's something else scanworthy in there as well--the shot of Enterprise & Excelsior that has the cargo container-oid shippy thingy in it--and the whole shot isn't all blued out to fuck.

Actually, I believe it's the same pic as in The Art of Star Trek...

I am glad that they abandoned the flat/four-nacelled Excelsior concept. There is no angle from which this model would look good. The nacelles pylons are quite different than I expected, though.
The Miranda-like ship is definitely great. I wonder when we will see the fully fledged schematics by Rev. I wonder if this ship was indeed inspired by the Miranda, the first version before it was accidentally flipped upside down.

I'm glad this was abandoned too, but this is a different version of the 4-nacelled Excelsior we know. The known one, and this one, are quite different.

It looks perfect to be a TOS-ified BOP. I.e. like the D7 compared to the K'Tinga - where the TOS ships are all nice and smooth. And the 'pattern' is more orange - closer to the Romulan version.
The white-ish rectangular grills on the underside wings closest to the 'body' look to be what the nacelles are.
