I like how your design makes sense out of the rear of the hull near the shuttle bay, where matt Jeffries and 1960s fabrication technology just went "aaaah $#%^ it"
Just wanted to say how great this looks (and all of your other work too). You’ve managed to strike such a balance with this design. It retains the overall feel of the original yet updated and more sleek. You’ve made subtle updates to the overall shape, size and various elements, adding just enough detail and complexity to make the ship feel more contemporary and refined.
Seriously a marvel of restraint in design. Definitely my favorite reimagining of the TOS design.

I'm glad to hear it! I definitely want to show that a movie quality modern update can be done properly, while staying true to the original design.
Did some work on the bridge area. Windows are just temporary (boolean), I'm just playing around with the size and where to put them. Next step, cut the bridge module into the saucer. I think it should be detachable for use as a lifeboat if needed.

Here's about where the bridge would be:
I started blocking out the new nacelles:
