Thank you very much Reverend and to all for the positive feedback. I found the detail dwgs extremly helpful Rev, esp the side view minus warp engine. Thanks a million Rev!
My intention is to adhere as closly as possible to Reverends plans for the uss antares, however I also want to build several derivetives of the basic design, such as a destroyer, light shuttle carrier, etc. that will let the basic design get more gameplay as Star Fleet Command allows many different ship classes. Feedback in the SFC forums has been extremly positive because Reverend's design has a "real TOS" look to her, unlike scads of other TOS designs that I have seen which most are basically Connie kitbashes.
Some of the design critique stated here has been echoed at the SFC forums, but as a fast and armed multipurpose supply/exploration/patrol ship, I find the design hard to beat.
Any suggestions and critiques regarding design will be taken into account for the Antares derived designs and will be much appreciated. Im glad i decided to post here, Gilso told me about flare last year and I found that you ppl like to discuss ship design and other "minutea" which is exactly what I had been wanting to participate in all along.
I will post some progress pics this weekend, concentrating on finishing the impulse engines and much of the texture work.

BTW, I really like this design a lot. (The fact that I think the "real" Antares was NCC-501 and looked like the Xhosa notwithstanding... )

Thanks Mim I will make proper credit in the readme file with the finished model.
I recall that the original concordance drawing was NCC-717.
