I doubt it since they really would not come up with a new design and not have it used up closely or at all later on in movies or TV episodes. Or even talked about later in any form.

For that matter, hasn't someone in the know explicitly said that the design never made it off paper?

Here are some past discussions CaptainMaxwell and others may wish to review on this topic:

...and likely others, but this may help along or end this conversation.

That's not my fault. I've checked ym folder and they are still there. I tell you there's a lot of stuff in there. Some day I have to clean up that mess. For now - here's all the stuff that could be of some interest...

USS Zandura (I wonder why that one's there, too...)
The big storyboard drawing with all the ships...
... and the zip-file mentioned in that thread;
The Seaquest (where have I seen that saucer before?)
The Endeavo(u)r
And the Goodson-"Endeavour". Or whatever...

[Cool]

[Edit:] Either I'm too stupid to use the instant-UBB-buttons, or something's messed up there.

Indeed.

As a modeler, I've gone so far as to scale up the sketches of the Zandura for making a physical model but have yet to get to it: I'm building the Goddard sketch design right now though.

The debris chunk does not match the Zandura hull detail (unless we're seeing the ventral side or a part hidden when the ship is joined -it was intended to be a science ship that cold seperate IIRC. It probably seperated into two equal halves along the horizontal midline- that would've been cool to see onscreen).

Any clue (bsed on the lifeboats) to the ship's length in meters?

There aren't any lifeboats on there, actually. But if you take the windows to be about 2m tall, then you get:

L: 158m
H: 35.6m
W: 69.6m

3m tall windows:

L: 237m
H: 53.4m
W: 104.4m

Roughly.

158 m long seems really really tiny.
Consider that half that length is just the nacelles and you get something as small as an Oberth.
At most.

Your second scale works far better.
The height seems pretty short though based on the sketch.

Well, like I said, roughly. I don't really know what I'm doing here. [Smile]

You just know someone will quote you at a later date.

I've got a teeney-weeney model of the Zandura that a modeler named Garry Perry sent me and I'll likely use it as refrence.
The model's about as long as two quarters set side by side.

If I had any idea what you were referring to, I'd nod and say "Wow. A neurosurgeon? Crazy."

Hope you're not quoting your proctologist, pallie. [Wink]
