Beautiful Design. It really shows how the Enterprise J got her lines from. The best looking ship ive seen... a bit long though....

The length is kind of wild. It seems like it could lead to some nasty blind spots, but I could be wrong. I think it's just longer than what we're used to, but it's thick enough that I wouldnt' see it playing a structural problem.
Don't you hear my call, though you're many years away, don't you hear me calling you?

yeah, they really dont take that long to actually draw; AutoCAD makes it easy.

Plus, Im doing the E-J schematics next, since none exist... all we have is that picture of the top, so i have to design the front and side still, and extrapolate that picture into a top schematic. I need the E-J so i can figure in a progression from G to H to I to J

How will you visualize the internal space of the J, if you plan on doing it?
It seems quite flat, but still has placessteep enough to have vertical windows.

Im not really sure... it is way to flat for each row to be a seperate deck... so maybe they are skylights :?: I have no idea.....

the saucer on the E-J may actually curve more than we think too.. the only canon picture we have is at an oblique angle to the saucer. I dunno... we'll see how it turns out :P
