Star Trek: USS Edward Teller NX-27CLN Rebuild Update I

I saw an article that mentioned that Ken Adam had passed away and that got me thinking about this model. I always credit Ralph McQuarrie for this, because it was his concept paintings that got me thinking about how to Trek it up some, but Adam also made some sketches of the ship. I'm not entirely certain who came up with it first but in any event, they both worked on it. So here's an update after almost three years. Still under construction of course.

Anyway, Everything has been rebuilt, the only piece I didn't completely rebuild yet, emphasis on yet, is that botanical garden under the landing bay. Still have a long way to go, obviously some parts have gotten a little more attention than others but I like the over look. This time around I made the secondary hull one piece instead of wings and hull being separate pieces. I am aware that some people think you can have anything in front of the bussard caps but, they are simply  demonstrating wrong thinking. And here's some pics...
