Ehh. Maybe I'm crazy but I can't help seeing people walking upside down with these Kitbashes. I know there's artificial gravity but I hate it when people take a Frankenstein approach to a ship. Little bit of this, turn that around, add that and Wah La!

Why would they be walking upsidedown? If you look at the secondary hull, it's in the upright position. Very well thought out by the modeller. ;)

It's better than the PoS that JJ put on the big screen, but that isn't saying much, is it?

Although I'm late to the party, I've got to agree with Adam on this.  I've never been especially fond of this type of hull rearrangement - she's pretty much just a jigsawed Enterprise with an amputation in my eyes.

Anyway, nice to see you guys are still around.

Well, from that perspective, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to route the plasma from the drive core (above the saucer) through the saucer to get to the nacelle.  A lot of extra risk that Federation designers don't usually like to take.
