Can anyone find me a clear picture of the TOP of the D7 Cruiser from TOS?? Even Trials and Tribbleations - I don't recall seeing an 'egg' at the front top - the K'ting'a seems to have sides that go straight down.

No TOS shots are from an angle that would reveal the exact nature of that bubble, AFAIK. The enemy always hovers menacingly slightly above the line of sight... Except for the lower-right ship in the triangle formation of "The Enterprise Incident", and that's too far away and out of focus. At least until we get the CGI remake of the episode.
However, McCullar's "IDIC Page" article seems to feature authentic pictures of the original model, complete with an "egg".

It IS an egg. Hmmm - so many 'futuristic' things from the sixties used 'egg' shaped solids. I think at least one of the TOS matt paintings had an egg structure. I'm glad they changed it for the TMP model.
Just reading about the Klingon TMP model on the IDIC page. Did THAT get sold at auction too?
Is the Klingon TOS Model back at the Smithsonian?

It's 24.2 m long and 21.3 m wide. The bottom's been changed in that the bottom bulge is moved back and is no longer aligned with the top bulge. There are also tunnels that allow the docking ports to fit the disc. No shuttlebay, but there is a ramped cargohold in the rear. The impulse deck has also been made curvy, sort of like that on Constitution.
You'll have to wait until the schematics are released!

I thought you curved the impulse deck! Is that a Torpedo tube above the main deck? I'll keep an eye out for the schematics!

It's a probe launcher. This ship is poorly armed and doesn't carry torpedoes (I think).

Scouts usually double as patrolcraft outside conflicts due to the similar mission profiles, so it shouldn't be too poorly hung.
