Hi, Spencer!
I Am Not Spock, but "I have been monitoring your Trekmeshes transmissions, Captain, your 3D design difficulties."
The design resembles the old school of ILM.
The general lines of the Enterprise and the Excelsior merged into a new dimension of diplomatic cruisers, but armed enough for a prompt response to a warlike aggression.
It is a fact that I tried starting the "Excellent Enterprise-A."
(Open the image in a new Window / Tab.)
Our companion, Nuno Guerreiro (Portugal), requested support for this endeavor.
I studied the case and noticed some inconsistencies in the original schematic.
There are many straight lines, indentations and protrusions that views can not explain.
So I suggested to Nuno create their own adaptations, keeping in mind the "follow the
design philosophy" shown in the movies.
Well, I do not know how is the progress of this work.
However, I say that is a good design.
And in my humble opinion - as a lover of the Enterprise Refit -
The structure of the nacelle, could be placed upside down.
(This gives to the rest of the design, continuity to the spirit of Captain Kirk.)

*) If I understand well, Nuno Guerreiro sent to me some finished work?
I never received anything related to "finalizing".
**) I could model the ship slowly, but lack complementary visual information, for example:
There is much confusion in the back of the dorsal connection.
The back view shows windows, doors, torpedo launcher, all seem entering or exiting the hull.
But when trying to interpret this information using the side view, it gets complicated.
(There are several other inconsistencies spread between views.)
***) There are two ways to do this:
A more improved schematic, accompanied by architectural information in perspective.
Or, give to the modeler freedom to make feasible the adaptation to fitting all information contained in the schematic.
(I apologize for any errors generated by electronically translation.)
