#constitution class

Further progress on the Cardiff. After some consideration, I decided to raise the shuttle bay up a deck so I don't have to faff around with multiple mezzanines. This meant rebuilding that section about three times until I was happy with it. Sigh.

Beyond that, it's mostly a case of beginning to add detail and reworking the nacelles some more. Still not completely happy with the radiators up there, so I might redo them again later. But I'll probably focus on the engineering hull for the moment.

I've also thrown together a Saladin class sketch using the smaller saucer and the neck and nacelle from the Excalibur. Looks pretty snazzy, actually!

I am currently trying to decide what I want to do viz the deflector dish. I viscerally hate simply having it stuck out the bottom of the saucer on a bracket, so I will probably try to do a cutout of some kind (hence why I've deleted the lower front phaser bank).
