[QUOTE]Originally posted by Phelps: [QB] Well, maybe he meant something else by "markings". Actually, I admit I don't know if the numbers are painted on, or if they're just stickers. I assume at least a part of the markings would be stickers that Okuda and Co. print out, then stick onto the model or have somebody else do it. Maybe the regs aren't. I should check that, although it wasn't relevant for the purpose of uncovering another Defiant model. The theory (right now) is based on two things: the fact that the Fact Files/AMT model is so misshapen, and a line in the DS9 Companion saying that the Defiant model is the same size as the Negh'Var model, "two-and-a half feet", as opposed to the many-times verified size of 4 feet for one model. Unfortunately, Mike Okuda denies it for the aforementioned reason, and we haven't seen this misshapen model onscreen. The closest thing is the new CG Defiant from "Sacrifice of Angels" onward, built by Brian Fisher, then an intern at Digital Muse who had built this model off the Ertl kit as a practice assignment, long before Muse was asked to work on Trek. His model was used in "Valiant", and would be replaced with a 4' based-one in "The Changing Face of Evil." In all likelyhood, AMT/Ertl got the proportions wrong, while the line in the Companion (which said the model was the same size as the Negh'Var, 2.5 feet) is probably wrong -- the Negh'Var model looks about 4' long, just like the Defiant model.
