These were two sketches I made some time ago that I came across today. They're a bit rough, but I thought you might enjoy a look at them, nonetheless.
Your Roosevelt Class looks remarkably similar to a sketch I did once for a model I designed using Miranda parts. I'd make the model if I had enough spare pieces. That's freaky!

Jupiter looks nice: kinda a TOS version of the Excelsior study model.

Very nice sketches. I don't think the Roosevelt class is too small at all if it's role is a scout class. It looks like it would be perfectly suited for such a role. Good job.

Roosevelt is odd. Jupiter looks like Discovery 1, which is cool.

Very kewel designs. The Jupiter is very reminiscint of one of the ship designs on my site: U.S.S. Bristol. The Roosevelt is looks like a design lineage cousin to one of the StarFleet Battles ships, which is a Frigate, I think.
On the Roosevelt, is that a B/C deck shuttlebay? If so, it looks much like the one I've been working on for movie era ships, as seen Here. I had originally come up with the idea about four or five years ago for my refit Ptolemy class transport/tug. I didn't want to have to tear her apart to add a Thomas Models saucer mounted shuttlebay, so instead cut out the VIP Lounge winodows and added some Evergreen Corragated sheet stock to simulate a shuttlebay door there. I've, obviously, since started work on another more detailed version to add to a different model at a later date/time.
If it's not meant as a shuttlebay, please disregard my self-aggrandized ramblings....
Again, very nicely done. When you going to build models of them.
