Y’know, I think this is one of your best builds yet. These upgrades look great and, better, make perfect in-universe sense.
Are there going to be different registries or just one?
Oh and let's not forget the PU-236 Space Modulator Assembly...

Knew I'd missed something, I'll turn them into deflection crystals and find a new home for the navigation lights ;-)
Thank you. You know the good thing about this community? No one chases you with flaming torches and pitchforks when you do something controversial, like scaling up the Oberth to make it work :-)
At the moment, she's just going to be the Apollo. I'll go back at the end and set something up for different reg numbers.
Now, Bugs was my fav cartoon character growing up. He taught me a lot. I wouldn't be surprised if someone snuck one aboard.
More later.
I don't mind that you have upscaled her. That was done decades ago. There was a set of very limited blueprints made around 1980. They are available at Cygnus x-1.
What really gets my goat, is that the lack of care by the people that produce these shows with very little sense...the destruction of the Grissom is a case in point. No, screens, no shields ready to go, no pre-planned escape routes...Captains that don't have a clue.
Come on, really? No security procedures implemented.
You guys and gals, and girls show that you at least have brains.
I don't know, brains must be a commodity...

I have my moments. And some things are done just for a story. Sad but true.
Updates, nacelles fixed, formation lights added -

Ok, here's where things get controversial - thoughts and opinions welcome. I have saved a copy of the forward sensor bay so I can go back to the original shape. But, I thought I'd try this on for size, and a lot of sensors would still fit in this section:

I very much agree.
Updates:
More detasils to add, but she is getting close. Comments welcome, more later :-)
Another “controversial” thing you could do is have a blue warp coil glowy area in the recessed bits in between the fins on the back and underside of the nacelles. I did that for a physical vacuform Grissom kit I built many years ago, basically cutting identical pieces of clear styrene and sandwiching them between opaque pieces, slightly larger, and stuck a blue LED behind the assembly inside the main nacelle body and it provided a really cool effect that’s consistent with other designs that used glowing warp coils - brighter closer to the light and getting dimmer further back, not just a solid blue glow from front to back. Just a thought. Hopefully I explained it well enough… 
When this ship goes to warp? There is a glow from the nacelles. It's just switched off at the moment, and may need to be remapped.Another “controversial” thing you could do is have a blue warp coil glowy area in the recessed bits in between the fins on the back and underside of the nacelles.

Awesome! Love to see that effect when you do your final renders!
Basically, I've borrowed the warp effect from the TMP Connie. Even the deflector dish can change states. Humm, no comments on that yet, maybe I need to start running?
Tomorrow (30 June) marks a year since my father-in-law passed away. Hence why I am taking some time away to spend with my partner and mum-in-law. I will be coming back to finish the Apollo off. This has turned into one of my fav builds. There are some things I have left to do, and the reason I'm going to list them here is so I don't forget;
As always, comments welcome, more later.
- Add tractor beam emitter.
- Add spot lights for self-lighting rig.
- Self-lighting rig.
- Interior of shuttle bays.
- Shuttles (two, I think, with the other bays holding work bees and maybe a travel pod).
- Bug fixes, issue with the top of the secondary hull needs to be fixed. Wrong texture maps used in places, needs sorting.
- REMOVE pannels on the "sensor hump".

Kruge ambushed the mini version of the Oberth. He might have a different time with a giant version in "The Naked Now"
