Rawen's TOS
I am an old school ST fan. I love all the Franz Joseph designs. I really have always loved the way Rawen's TOS design's match the original look and feel.
TOS star trek starships I always had a soft spot for the Scout format, I built one ages ago and have been keeping it on my desk at work. I resized it down 57% which makes the primary disk 2.5 inches in diameter.  The other day I thought " I would sure love a matching enterprise." but there wasnt an enterprise on the TOS Set of models from Rawen. So I thought I know I will just resize the Caudillo enterprise. but at 2.5" while a great model the parts just got too small to work with easily.   So I went back to the Rawen models.   Somebody correct me if I'm wrong but wouldn't a 2.5" saucer make for a 1:7500 scale?

the "real" diameter of the TOS-ENT is approx. 130 meters. if your saucer diameter is 2.5 inch= 6,35 cm or 0,0635 meters, then the scale for your model is approx. 1:2047 ~ 1:2000! in 1:7500 the diameter is only 1,7 cm or 0.68 inch!

A little progress, I am looking for red beads to use as the collectors on the tips of the warp engines. on my scout ship I used a rubber eraser tip. but the engines on the enterprise are much more visible.
