Not much to work on, but I definetely get a Miranda evolution feel from the concept art. The biggest thing missing is the over slug torpedo array; which seems to be a mandatory element of a lot of the underslung nacelles assemblies. The biggest problem I have with this idea is the engineering hulll seems to make the ship "feel" unbalanced. I can see why people are getting a Shelley/Curry class vibe off this ship, but the Shelley/Curry looked a lot more balanced in my opinion.
I dug up a old 1701-C line drawing someone e-mailed me a couple years back and kitbashed it together into a rough idea of what the class might look like. You can see it here, it's in the "Kitbashes" folder . The nacelles are completely wrong, that's a given, but for a rough idea, they'll do. I'll work on something a little better once I get the time. All in all it could be a interesting variant from the rarely seen Ambassador Class era, but it needs some tweaking to look better.

Good! The Soyuz is far better looking than yet another tired ass Connie or Connie refit!

The Negh'Var ended up being a highly modified Vor'Cha. With certain angles, you can still see the Vor'Cha wing lines with the Negh'Var extensions out front. The Negh'Var seems to be a Vor'Cha mold with a lot of new additions on it. --
As for the Bozeman issue, even if it were Ambassador era parts, The uniforms wouldn't have been a problem. The Enterprise-C uniforms were jsut the movie uniforms anyway without the undershirt.
That should be in a museum somewhere, really. Hey, Paul Allen!
Sternbach was auctioning some drawings off after the end of Voyager personally, as I recall. Some neat things up for grab in that one too. Though it is kind of, vaguely, very vaguely, depressing. In some way. Like, the letter saying "We like your stuff!" is something I would keep, were it addressed to me. But perhaps I am overly sentimental. Is anyone planning on making a bid for something?

While I'm at it, where on earth is this from?
Or this? Maybe the weapon the soon-to-be-vaporized scientist has down on Regulus, I guess, though I was always under the impression it was just another phaser.

I actually bid on that! Almost no chance I'll win though.... Did you see his sketch of the talarian warship? MUCH cooler than the filming model! I think I'll follow the sketch more than the model for the version I'm building.

I mean its been a while, a long long while since I have seen the episode...but he's the CMO they saw review logs trying to ascertain why the crew died or how to make an antidote to the aging 'disease of the week'...

The CMO doesn't wear a red cross - McCoy and I think M'Benga had the Sciences emblem. Only Chapel wore the cross. And medical personnel typically wear tunics that differ from the regular uniforms. This one could be from Kelley's wardrobe, or a random item from the closet that produced the Finnegan uniform etc.
The "Apollo" sketch by Sternbach would have been dramatically less suited for "The Pegasus" than the tiny Oberth was. The bigger the ship, the less likely a mutiny could take place (just think how little the typical crewman aboard the E-D is even likely to know about what is going on elsewhere in the ship!), and the less likely the captain and his supporters could escape. And the cloak tests didn't call for a big ship anyway. A small one would offer better secrecy.
Of course, the Oberth wasn't ideal for the plot, either, since Riker and Pressman were supposed to flee on a shuttle. This is virtually the only time we hear there should be a shuttle aboard an Oberth (the MSD in "Hero Worship" notwithstanding).
I haven't figured out yet how to navigate eBay... Where are the other Sternbach sketches?

Holy Crap! 7 pages...I think thaat link overdoes it a bit...if you just want Sternbach Star Trek sketches you just simply search "Sternbach" is the most basic search function and you immediately get something like 21 results (currently)...Im not sure where the bit about Ebays navigation is justified...
