I'd thin out the rollbar some- it looks as thick as the Connie's "neck" as it is.
That's a lot of additional mass.
Hmmm...your bussard collectors might be a tad big in relation with the ship;s size as well- I dont recall the TOS nacelles being that large in diameter.
Aside from that, it looks darn nice (though I'm not a fan of the notion of there even having been a TOS version of the Miranda class).

It's coming together. I hear you on the side view. I got as far as the blackline for my latest rev last night when I realized I'd been aligning my side view with the deflector from my front view (whose position I'd recently adjusted up). Which, of course, totally changed the geometry of that rear hull. Ugh.
I think Jason's right regarding the thickness of the rollbar/nacelle strut. Can you do away with that line where the vertical support meets the rollbar? Also, you also might center the nacelle strut onto the nacelle. I realize this is my particular bent, but unless you're dead-set on straight vertical, you could give the nacelle strut a slight curve or an angle down into the nacelle. The movie-era Miranda uses that configuration and I think it lends the ship a sense of stability. You wouldn't have to reposition the nacelles themselves, just the supports.
