Description
The introduction of the Constitution class in 2245 was a game-changer in interstellar military and politics. The combination of an explorer and a battleship in one state-of-the-art vessel that re-defined the concept of "starship" gave the Federation an edge over the Klingon Empire. For the first time since its inception, the Federation Starfleet was able to hold its own against the mighty Klingon navy. For the first time in centuries, the Klingons were forced to a defensive position. Up till the advent of the legendary D7 class, the Constitution class reigned unchallenged and unparallelled...Models and planet by me

Yupp! Back then, they used lasers and accelerator cannons.
I'm a TOS purist.

NCC-1701 never had Phase Cannons, Did She?

In her original, April/Pike era configuration, she had lasers and accelerator cannons instead of phasers and photorps.

Accelerator Cannons?

Yupp. Basically what the ENT "spatial torpedoes" were. Nukes launched with massive magnetic accelerators / Gauss guns.

Did the Pallada ever carry Accelerator Cannons and Laser Banks

Yupp, in her original configuration, back in the 2240's.

Cool ever think you'll do a picture of an original configuration Pallada or even a Pre-Captain Metlesits Polaris? Yes I know there the same thing and the Polaris NCC-782 isn't the Polaris without the certain captain. It would be cool to see the original Pallada with the Polaris and a TOS-Series era Pallada together. Sorry if I seem long winded

Excellent picture!Β
But I thought that TOS phasers were blue not red?

Yupp, but these are not phasers. The Connies were originally built with phased lasers, the successors of the phase cannons from the NX era.

Even with the D-7 class, The Constitution class is not to be messed with

But if course! The Connie is a lean, mean fighting machine. She apologizes to no man... or Klingon

Great piece, well up there with some very limited edition art prints I've got.
Btw, you've got a typo in the hashtag that should read "constitution", it's missing the 's'.

Have you heard of the "fan film" Prelude to Axanar? It takes place during this time period. They've done a short proof of concept film and are now building sets for the full length feature. Β Check it out here:Β www.startrekaxanar.com/

I've seen it. I have mixed feelings. The concept is good, as is the execution of it, but the Abrams inspired ships are a no-no for me. I mean, the story takes place in the classic universe, with the Ares and the Enterprise having the classic feel to them. Also, the Klingon ships look too much like their ENT versions and not the smooth TOS ships.

On the nacelles? This is how Jeffries originally envisioned them.
