Man you really love those ramscoops don't ya! 
Honestly, it is a cool surface detail. I wish more "official" designs had them.

Nacelles have been mounted to the pylon assemblies. 23 days to launch.
Those nacelles are gorgeous -- they look more functional than some of the professionally-designed starships from official productions. I would be a very happy man to see a few minutes of this model professionally lit and composited into scenes along with some of Trek's hero-ships, entering orbit, going to warp, and ... and ... well, yeah, cutting loose with phasers and torpedoes!
this IS one of the greatest designs I have ever seen. It has the 2 interconnecting dorsal (to which other than the Ent F and my earlier Soulwolf nobody seems to use). it is beautifully streamlined, but with no compromises, meaning the deflector is orientated exactly the way it should be in order to be as effective as it can be(I'm looking at you Sovereign).
And I love the placement of the nacelles relative the hull, as it keeps the overall profile of the ship like a wave, to which I always love to see
BTW, your model work is flawless!

Many thanks - big fan of your work!
22 days 14 hours and 6 minutes. I'm not as fast as I like but insanely dedicated to finishing a project on schedule.
There is an access panel to the avionics bay between the dorsals atop the secondary hull that is magnet latched.

That is what makes the best trek ships--a sense of flow.
Project Endurance is a wrap. A few quick studio images for those interested here:
