Goodness gracious... Loving the sleek lines of this Ambassador reboot. Feels even more of a mix of Enterprise(s) that came before it, especially that impulse deck. Only thing really missing is one of those impulse deflection crystals.
Would love to see this as a 3D model. And to borrow an expression from another universe: Love those ample nacelles
These just keep getting better and better. You are creating a consistent look across multiple eras of ships and evolving those designs based on where the "look" would fall along the technological timeline which is just...fantastic.
I think this Ambassador redux might be my favorite that you've done. Stunning and so well balanced.
Something I've found missing a bit with Trek is a consistent stylistic look for the universe. With, say, Star Wars, you see design for it and it's almost immediately identifiable. Not a knock to Eaves or any other design lead. I understand Trek is a very different franchise and covers much more time (both physical and fictional) so I'm not pushing on it too hard, just giving that as an example.
I'd love to see what you would do for like...all starship classes to apply a similar look. Intrepid, Defiant, Centaur, Steamrunner, Nova...hell even Sovereign?
In any case! Your work just blows me away. Keep up the good stuff!

I appreciate that! That is the point of this never ending project, so I'm glad it's working. And not to worry, I'll get to them all eventually, no ship is safe, not even the A!

Hopefully someday! Especially since 3D printing keeps getting better and cheaper
