I've spent some time and attention reworking the flying wing/challenger-class/iceland-class from Enterprise. I think I've got it VERY close this time. I wanted to show you what I've finished, with the realizationthat I still have a ventral view to do, and coloring to do.
Not sure your fore view of the bridge matches your elevation view, though. And, also in the elevation view, it looks like you have an over-extended line near the afte end of the nacelle.

The only crit I have is about the name: Technically, it should be the Iceland-type (assuming the Iceland is even the name of the ship, which it isn't necessarily). The class would be NV-Class or whatever the letters are in the registry, according to the Earth Starfleet's registry system.
But that's a really awesome set of orthos. Deckplans! Deckplans!

Very, very nice! But could you do a version of the site view with the starboard nacelle where it's supposed to be? That would be very useful for reference charts!

I've modified the orthos, taking into account your comments. The bridge module on the fore view should now parallel that of the side view. I fixed the nacelle outline glitch as well. I added another side view that shows the starboard nacelle in place.
The nacelle end caps, both fore and aft, glow blue in the show, so that's why I used it. I don't know if they're supposed to be bussard ramscoops or not. I'm just drawing it as I sees it. It is possible that, in the visible absence of a navigational deflector on the front of the ship. that there are actually two navigational deflectors, one on the front end of each nacelle.
I realize we don't know the names of any of these ships, much less the class-ship. Yet, people usually either refer to it as one of the three names, so that's why I used those names.

To coin a phrase: "LOL."
The Iceland-class moniker is simply a joke which originated on this board, referring to the fact that the design looked to some like an abbreviated Norway-class. It seems to have caught on like Mark's Shelley-class designation for the Curry.

By the way, I know the Iceland is grey, but can anyone see in there a tinge of another color in the hull that they feel needs to be represented in my orthos?

Which I never understood--I don't see any Norway in there...

It took me some figuring out as well...but I now see what they were talking about. It does look somewhat like a Norway saucer with the nacelles and pylons brought forward.

MMoM: I remember that you made it up, and I'm fine with the designation. I think it's a cool name for the ship. Which really irritates me, because whoever's in charge of designing these ships should've given them names and registries. I don't understand why that was so hard to do.
"OK... the Enterprise is NX Class... Let's make this one NU-Class in case we want to show the Enterprise's immediate predecessor someday. Oh, and let's actually name the ship while we're at it." Boom. Done. Not hard at all.
