I made an Pre TOS Ship, thats based on the Daedalus class starship. The ship can detach the spherical section from the engineering section in an case of emergency.

It doesn't look much like a Daedalus, but that's not a bad thing.
I wonder about the decks. Are they horizontal? On the side view the panel lines and windows are like the seams on a football (American football). The lines would suggest that decks all slant towards the longitudinal axis of the ship.
Other than that, it looks good.

An interesting design with some very nice detailing, well done! Two niggles though, as Masao pointed out the window allignments are a little funky and you only need ONE scale bar, not four.

Cool looking design. I really like the originality to it all on a basic design format. Would a pre-TOS ship have a NCC registry or would it be a NX, NW, NQ, NY, and etc?

Much better. There are however a few things I forgot to mention earlier regarding the markings; for one the registry on the nacelles is a bit too big, I'd consider reducing it by about 50% and if you want this to look contemporary with the Daedalus then you might want to have "United Federation" under the reg in a much smaller type. See here for examples Also the ships seams to be missing it's name, which should at least be visible on the primary hull if nowhere else.

I really love the design, Lobo, but I think that you need to change the scale a bit. After crunching the numbers, I got a figure of 320 meters long... that seems pretty big for a pre-TOS ship IMO, not to mention that that's not supported by the relatively small number of decks indicated by the windows. (Even if you assume that it's every other deck or something.)

I noticed something else funny. The intersection of the secondary hull to the grey end cap is strange. From both the top and side views the intersection should be a straight vertical line. The concave line you have is the appearance of a cross section.
