I think possibly that the saucer impulse engines are too "inset", or whatever. It makes the part where the neck meets the saucer look a bit structuraly unsound. I'd make the "chunk" taken out of the saucer for them a bit smaller.

A full set of detailed views from all angles won't be available until it's finished. So this is just a quickie - didn't have time to do anything more detailed.

If you need to have detailed infomation to correct and add in more detail on your Galaxy class ship. I do not want to nitpick your work but help you out with some reference material which I hope this helps in your venture. Galaxy Class blueprints and schematic info

Thank you for the comments and the useful nitpicks, I don't take them as criticisms, because as alluded to before this is a WIP. It is far from finished.
I don't know if, or how, the secondary hull has become too curved. I've used plenty of schematics and reference material to make this model, doing it freehand and on the fly would be utterly impossible. So in my opinion it is correct as far as the dimensions of the hull are concerned. (with a few mesh edges and other details yet to iron out and tidy up)
Gilso, thanks ever so much for the link. These detailed and hi res schematics will be very useful for this and other projects.. Excellent.

Of course, the two TNG Enterprise-D models do have differently shaped engineering hulls anyway, so there is room for interpretation.

Er, there was a thread about it a few months back. Someone said that they thought the 4 foot model looked "pregnent", and thus hated it. There was probably an anti-Berman & Braga comment in there too.
Someone with better memory who is less lazy than me want to look it up?

I believe the 'pregnant' discussion was was in reference to the STIII Excelsior looking like a 'pregnant guppy.' Not entirely groundless
There is some discussion of the differences between the 4 and 6ft Galaxy models starting around here .
If someone pokes me with a stick I'll upload a comparison front view of the two models, but then I'm sure the resourceful among you must certainly have this image.
