I came across this design by a 3d artist:
This was an early version of his reimagining of Star Trek to be more in line with real world physics.
I'm not sure why, but I really dug the design and thought it fit into the early designs for warp ships in the canon.
And since it's a pretty easy shape to match, and I had some artistic leeway with the design... and since I love the idea of that era, I started my plans.
By luck, I already had this wind up torch thing from somewhere, and it was almost exactly the right shape for the primary hull, complete with perfectly positioned holes for the deflectors.
Next I added the last part of a cannibalized Phoenix model I've used in my other projects. I think that part is supposed to be the fusion reactor, making it perfect for this ship.
Next, Nacelles and deflector dishes.
The nacelle pylons were scavenged from a piece of train set scenery I found, cause it's Japan and I was spoiled.
with stuff finally coming together I could make the stand.
