Right on the money! I love the combination of the basic “workhorse” design of the TOS Enterprise, along with the added Art Deco additions of the Constitution Refit. I also very much agree with the “Mr. Scott’s Guide to The Enterprise” movie-era Tech Manual, which posits the Connie Refit was such a drastic change to the ship’s design that an overall change of designation to the “Enterprise Class” was a needed method to separate between original Constition class, Constitution Refits (as well as honoring the original Enterprise Captains of April, Pike & Kirk, her crews, and successful 5-Year Mission) and Original Refit Builds which I’m sure happened after the success of the Connie Refits into virtually a new, modern class of ship as well as must be cheaper/faster to build a Refit-style from the ground up than modifying a much older Constitution-class into a Refit-style/“Enterprise-class” (and is part of my personal “head canon”).

@@tgkelly82 Alas, Paramount/CBS would rather pay in-house for physical models, they won't outsource to anyone except the Big Names in their industry. While the fan-films generally lack enough budget and manpower to properly use physical models (in space battle scenes, etc) or to properly handle/transport/store them without risking damage. CGI models are just the better option (or at least the more practical option) in the real world.
