So, I have the Polar Lights USS Enterprise Space Seed Edition and Enterprise Refit kits. 1:1000 scale, obviously. I'm going to take parts from the Space Seed Edition kit (specifically the nacelles, bridge, pylons, impulse engines, and navigational deflector) and combine them with parts from the Refit (primary and secondary hulls) to produce an Enterprise with the proportions of the Refit and the smooth, clean lines of Matt Jefferies' original. I will fill in the deflector grid and drill holes for torpedo tubes in the secondary hull, but beyond that... I'm not sure. I want my Enterprise to be as close to the original as possible. The idea is to make a ship that could have been rebuilt into the Refit we see in TMP more easily and more plausibly than the "real" Enterprise. It will look something like this:

I think I might do a reimagined Botany Bay, too. Something based on near-future technology. I could replace the cargo module with a spinning habitat ring, and it could have large cylindrical fuel tanks, a couple of space capsule escape pods, and a disc shaped radiation shield. It might end up being as long as the Enterpise.
). A reimagining of the SRBs are fine by me though since I think there's little difference between the look of shuttle's and the nacelles you want to use.
