I think I'm going to try both a straight-up gray-with-a-tinge-of-blue and a less-saturated version of the tan color scheme. In the meantime, I've cleaned up and evened out the structures.
I thought the same about the thin connecting structure too, but then I thought the NX-01 was too thin too. But, it's thin in that direction, but wide in the other direction, which structurally makes up for it. The Intrepid, on the other hand, isn't nearly as wide there where the dorsal slopes down into the warp field stabilizer.
Irishman, I do not wish to step on any toes but i used your blank Indrepid and added some colours and texture. I think you design is great. Superb job. Here is what your design looks like with some colours and texture. Hope you and every one else likes. http://spacemegs.com/odysious/images/Intrepid.gif

Very nice! Can't wait to see the other views. One thing: I'd love to see it with a color scheme more akin to what we saw in the episodes. And without the conjectural hull markings. With those details of presentation, I'm sure Bernd would be very eager to include your drawings in his database.
EDIT: Looking over the caps here, I'm not sure the hull midpoint rally *should* be so skinny, but I'll trust your judgment. Also, I'd be willing to bet that the nav-deflector should have a little nub/spike in the center like the NX-01's.

Why should I remove the hull markings in order to have Bernd be able to use it?? I'm lost.
I'm trying to work on the other views, using the fabulous EdenFX mesh as a guide. I'm trying to keep the shuttle bay in the same location it is on NX-01, as well as engineering and primary systems. The difference being that the Intrepid not being Warp 5-capable, it won't have the "superchargers" that the NX-01 has. The impulse engines will be moved up to the outer edges of Deck 5.
If all goes well, I may have more views in a week or so.

Oh, it's just that Bernd (IIRC) prefers to keep things as close to canon as possible, and the designation of the ship as NV class is completely unsupposrted by the show. Not that it's a bad conjecture, of course, but it ain't canonical.

These next two show kind of how I'm exploring the angles and proportions of everything for the other views. I'm learning a lot about deck positioning, egress, etc, (also using the EdenFX mesh). The yellow lines indicate deck lines, while the blue lines represent hull lines.
