"The chef tastes his own cooking..."
or
"A Trek kitbash Forbin would be proud of..."
As some of you physical modelers around here who also hang out at Starship Modeler may know, I started a Trek model parts garage kit business a few months ago - Modular Models. Most of my releases so far have been based on our own Neale "Vance/Jaynz" Davidson's Toolkit sheets, but I've done a few items based on Jackill's drawings as well. I've been so busy generating parts that I haven't had a chance to really build anything from them yet to show people the potential in the product line until now.
I decided to whip up a ship design using as many of my own parts as possible. This early 23rd century tug - say 10 years or so pre-Pike - is 95% Modular Models parts. The only parts that are from a PL TOS E are the bridge dome, deflector dish and nacelle globe (along with the nacelle ends and greeblies to be added later).
Granted, it's still in the "work in progress" phase but it's far enough along that you don't have to imagine what it will look like.
