[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] ...Drexler may be sending me photos! I just emailed him today. Here's what I sent: Dear Mr. Drexler, Hello! My name is Mark Delgado, & I am a member of Bernd Schneider�s Wolf 359 research team. With the help of Michael Okuda, Ed Miarecki, Rick Sternbach and others, we�ve been able to solve the mysteries surrounding the lost kitbashed ship models used in the battle scene in �Best of Both Worlds.� Now we are trying to solve another ship model mystery, and I was wondering if you could help. The DS9 Tech Manual, which you did the artwork for, showed six kitbashed ship designs in the Appendix. Three of the designs had actually been shown in the show, namely these: U.S.S. Centaur U.S.S. Curry U.S.S. Yeager (with a link to Bernd's page for each diagram) However, the last three designs have not been spotted so far in any episode: Constitution variant Excelsior variant2 Intrepid variant Both Okuda & Sternbach gave us some good info. Okuda stated that these kitbashes were built by the VFX department, and that some of them were printed with names & registry numbers. He also said that some ships were given joke names because they knew that they wouldn�t be legible on a TV screen. Sternbach told us that you were given reference photos on which to base your drawings. My questions to you are: 1. Were the last three ship designs also based on actual models built? 2. If so, were there any more models built besides these six? 3. Do you still have the reference photos to any of the models? 4. If you have the photos, but are unable to show them, could you at least tell us what names and/or registry numbers were printed on each? Thank you for any helpful information you can provide. Here's his reply: Hi Mark! All of the ships in the back of the DS9 Tech Manual were actually built by the VFX department from old kits. None of them were created for the book. I think I do have some shots backed up somewhere. I will look for them this weekend. Doug OK, here's what I don't want. I don't want anyone else trying to get in touch with Drexler, asking him the same things I did. There's a good possibility that he will send me some of the reference photos, but I don't want everyone else & their brother pestering him about it, a la Ed Miarecki. The LAST thing I want to do right now is piss this guy off. [/QB][/QUOTE]
