Further progress on the Cardiff. After some consideration, I decided to raise the shuttle bay up a deck so I don't have to faff around with multiple mezzanines. This meant rebuilding that section about three times until I was happy with it. Sigh.
Beyond that, it's mostly a case of beginning to add detail and reworking the nacelles some more. Still not completely happy with the radiators up there, so I might redo them again later. But I'll probably focus on the engineering hull for the moment.
I've also thrown together a Saladin class sketch using the smaller saucer and the neck and nacelle from the Excalibur. Looks pretty snazzy, actually!
I am currently trying to decide what I want to do viz the deflector dish. I viscerally hate simply having it stuck out the bottom of the saucer on a bracket, so I will probably try to do a cutout of some kind (hence why I've deleted the lower front phaser bank).
The Kelvin timeline version of the Saladin class whacked on a shuttle bay extending out the back of the bridge, which is a decent look, but I'm not entirely sure I want to go down that route for what, at present, isn't a ship I *need* to make. We'll see.
