ok, thanks guys! I dont like the front view either, but I dont have access to my own computer for a couple das, so its unlikely it will be changed very soon... it could be that the section I used for the body front view was a ful color picture that i black and whited, when all the rest were line art? i'll see if I can find a front view of the ship i used as a schematic.
as for the era, this is about 50 yrs post TNG, but I prefer the TNG/TOS style, so I didn't make it as... weird, as I could have.
As for the wide-ivity of the body, heres a few pics, and you tell me which one looks best:
