Recently started work on a TOS design to get back into drawing and designing again after three weeks of doing nothing remotely similar.
I currently have named it the Eaves Class light cruiser. It is bigger then a Miranda (TOS style) but smaller then a Constitution Class. It is still in a early stage but after finishing the line drawing I am planning to add a MSD and colored version to go along with it.

I also changed the connection between nacelle and hull... it looked to awkward at first but now has a good feel to it. I also added weaponry (8 phaser banks - 2x2 and 4x1 and a 2x1 photon launcher) and two shuttlebays (Miranda layout).
I also added a scale reference on the lower right showing the Eaves/Athena class (not yet decided) to sit between a Constitution and a Miranda Class in size. I think it could be a light cruiser or support cruiser this way.
I see what you mean..can't really put a lot of detail on it if you want to stay true to TOS.
Hey, now... lol.
Even so you can add some detail to it, but not as much as you can do in TMP, TNG or beyond era ships. Even so adding interiors could work quite well for your 3d model Melak... perhaps a shuttlebay you can look into?
It is good to see the 2d WIP thread get more active Haven't been here in a while but more people are getting back or new people starting new threads.
