I've been killing time doing schematics of my kitbashes (as seen in the kitbash orthos thread), and making 1-sheet datasheets of them. I did up a webpage with them, plus the older ones I've done over the years: http://www.inpayne.com/portfolio/datasheets.html All done in CorelDraw.
Something you may not have noticed -- don't know how urgent you'll consider this, either: On the Themistocles forward elevation, your ship has "Phoyon Torpedo tubes."
Must have just gone down. My provider has these little spasms - I don't think anybody's there on weekends to reboot. Seems to be up now.
Added one more: http://www.inpayne.com/portfolio/hopesheet.jpg This is based on the concept of creating a modular hospital ship by using an existing medical pod (as carried by the Franz-Joseph style tug), and jamming on engines and a saucer. I first made a model of this thing by jamming together pieces of those little gaming minis in the 1970s. Here's a larger model I made more recently: http://www.inpayne.com/models/kitbash/trekpage_hope.html
Think you'd ever consider redoing the third nacelle? If you could modify it so that the bit that sticks out is actually on the top, with the front, back, and fins redone to have them oriented the right way, that'd probably look a bit better.
I've done that on other 3-engine designs, both with the coolant reactor on top and underneath. In the case of the Hope, I wanted to show that the ship was a true bash-together of available parts.
And speaking of the devil, I just finished the sheet for my ugliest kitbash: http://www.inpayne.com/portfolio/triumphviews.jpg Here's the model: http://www.inpayne.com/models/kitbash/trekpage_triumph.html
Yes. Forbin, is your thinking on some of your kitbashes that shuttle operations would be restricted to times when the impulse engines weren't in use? I ask because a few of them have their shuttle bays situated between the impulse exhausts. I wouldn't think you'd want shuttle's flying that close to the tailpipes.
The arminius in Tech Manual style data pages for the, well, tech manual I'll eventually finish with all the kitbashes.

Oh, hell, I use the blend function for the windows. But you have to get exactly the right number of them, then go delete certain windows to try to duplicate the pattern on the model.
