Those are Probert’s sketches, but they are indeed what I based the ACE nacelle on. I think the side, top, and front are on Bernard’s Treknographics site under “Cygnus-class”.

Quite right, apologies…
Here we go with the destroyer

There were several side views of that Ent-D…I can’t find those.

Here you go. Wrong thread. It was in a thread dedicated to the ACE that I talk about the connection to Probert’s art. In the email I sent to Bernard that he quotes here:

That’s it.
There was a longer Belknap type secondary type hull that was fashioned after yours.
Similar to these two

I often thought that a good post TMP-era Galaxy class would have that hull—your ACE nacelles, and an Ariel type saucer with the edge treatment of the saucer here:

Ariel’s saucer would be a tad taller…have 10 forward, etc.
No Excelsior distraction—-it would point more directly to the Ent-D.

Now I am not familiar with the center drawing here:

I think you did a side view of the top painting—a Galaxy class with a really thin saucer…Apollo?

Yes I did. At the time AP was kind enough to provide input and comment but he said he didn’t have the time to do a scribble showing top/side/front. So I kept flailing around, he kept saying no, and we both got tired of it. I like what I did, and I suspect I was close but that he may have been confusing what I was going after with the “closer to TNG” ships in the middle.
I can't find that on the web---a lot of your 50-for-50 drawings did survive the great photobucket scouring as "pins" on pinterest sites, by-the-way
Your TOS page is great

I printed everything---but I lost a lot of that in a flood disaster a couple of years back---others misplaced.
If it isn't on paper....sigh....

I want to figure out an affordable, long term, dependable means of image hosting. If I can do that, I will post that stuff again. And much, much, much more. I have done ten times the number of ship pages since whenever it was photobucket went to hell. But no imgur or devianart, etc. I’d like to just host it myself, or use some smallish image host where the costs are based on the number of times the image is viewed - or waived in consideration of ads shown those viewers.
Todd Guenther did both Starship Design and Belknap.
