I really like the bussard effect. I think it SHOULD look more raw and dangerous than the more "refined" version that the Enterprise had later on. More like "new" technology
Glad the masks were what you were looking for, Steve.

I have to say that, while not a fan of this particular design, I'm really impressed with this build, and your tenacity for tweaking things that don't work for you. The alternating bussard colors was cool enough...but the fact that you went back and fiddled with it just impresses the heck out of me. As is par for the course with all of your builds, the work is precise, clean, and gorgeous. And I may even be warming up to the look of the ship as a result
Inspired. Thanks for sharing.
