I like your Paul Dirac, it looks much like a mix of a conny and excelsior but has the classic lines that stand out. Congratulations on an excellent build

Thank you very much. Somewhere between Constitution and Excelsior is exactly what I was aiming for. I'm glad you like it, and thanks for the fave .

That is a really nice piece of work, i like the curved docking cradles as well. I have not seen the Paul Dirac type of starship before but it looks like some sort of shuttle carrier.

The curved docking cradles were originally conceived by Doug Drexler for his Starbase 47 'Vanguard' model (which was the basis for the design of Starbase 6 on the TV). However I've modified them by making them smaller and fitting them to the curve of the Enterprise's primary hull.

The Dirac is my own design. I call it a cruiser, but that's a broad term. It has aft and starboard shuttlebay doors and so could be called a through-deck cruiser, which is the same thing as a small carrier. I intend to post more pictures of it soon.
