Oh, I did reply. Day before yesterday, I believe. You didn't get my email?
And everybody, rest assured that this thread most definitely isn't dead. It's just resting.
While I may not have the time to do some more vector graphics at the moment due to Real Life (TM), I'll try to provide you with some new sketches soon.

Bumping this up, and wondering if there are any updates?
So I ordered Real Life (tm) to take a break. Here are two images that aren't quite finished, but I decided to post them anyway.
A phaser, basically a cross between the TUC version and the cobra head phaser of early TNG.
And here is the side view of the escape pod. Some details are still missing, and of course the rest of the orthographic views. They'll get done eventually, though.

The phaser design's nice, but wouldn't they be using the TMP phasers, which the Enterprise-C crew wore as sidearms in "Yesterday's Enterprise"? That's not to say there wouldn't be multiple designs of phasers in use at any given time, considering that we saw the TMP phasers again in TWOK, then got brand new ones for TSFS and again in TFF.
I haven't yet decided what phaser design to use. I suspect there'll be more than just one, though.
However, the real purpose of this post is an update!
Here is a complete redesign of the auxiliary survey vehicle, a sublight shuttlepod concept (complete wit docking ring) and my idea of how a movie-era phaser array system works.

Dual warp cores?
Okay, I'm getting conflicting information off of websites. Can someone clarify for me as to whether the Constellation Class star ship has one or two warp cores?
Thanks.

Re: Dual warp cores?
It has twin reactors, each one like the one used in the Enterprise class, but a single intermix shaft.

Re: Dual warp cores?
In any case, I think I'll worry about this later.
Meanwhile, here's another (small) update: a revised version of the biobed display, and my first dedication plaque for the Constellation.

Re: Dual warp cores?
Glad to see this project has not ended. A long time with no updates had me wondering....

Re: Dual warp cores?
Yeah, I'm a bit confused myself. There was Matt Decker's ship, and then there was the prototype for this class. I suppose there could have been a starship named Constellation in the time between ENT and TOS that we haven't heard of yet.

Re: Dual warp cores?
Well, there could be:
CH 1017 Constellation (Decker's ship)
CH 1728 Constellation II (the replacement, per the FJ Tech Manual)
and then
CA 1974 Constellation (the Constellation-class lead)
to make 3 ships.
I think there might have been a Horizon- or Archon-class ship, near the turn of the 23rd Century, too, but I might be misremembering.
Best,
Alex

Re: Dual warp cores?
Ha, fooled you all, didn't I?
I knew you'd all wonder about that, which is exactly why I put it there. I think it shows that there is more going on in the Trek universe than what we see on TV and read about in the books. It is not only possible but also likely that there was at least one other ship with that name before Decker's Constellation.
