[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] Cool model shots, Johnny! What's more, they (along with the older pictures on your page) have served to convince me now more than ever of my [URL=http://flare.solareclipse.net/ultimatebb.php/topic/6/2560.html#000000]thoughts[/URL] on the question of whether the [i]Nebula[/i] seen in FC was the [i]Leeds[/i] or the [i]Farragut[/i]. (It was, in fact, [i]both[/i].) [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/auction/ambassador4.jpg]EXHIBIT A[/URL]: The [i]Ambassador[/i] model labeled as the [i]Yamaguchi[/i] on the [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/auction/ambassador1.jpg]dorsal saucer[/URL] and [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/auction/ambassador10.jpg]nacelles[/URL] and as the [i]Excalibur[/i] on the [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/auction/ambassador12.jpg]ventral saucer[/URL] and [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/auction/ambassador9.jpg]secondary hull[/URL]. Similarly, the [i]Nebula[/i] model was labeled on top as the [i]Farragut[/i] on the bottom as the [i]Leeds[/i]. (Pictures and discussion in older thread; Take care to read to the end or you will be very confused. :p ) [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/trekpics/excbig.jpg]EXHIBIT B[/URL]: The [i]Excelsior[/i] model with sign reading "[i]U.S.S. Excelsior[/i] (aka [i]Fredrickson[/i])." We know that this same model, labeled as the [i]Excelsior[/i] on the ventral saucer from its appearance in "Flashback" (VGR) was also labeled [URL=http://flareupload.pleh.net/uploads/646/fredrickson_model.jpg]on top[/URL] as the [i]Fredrickson[/i]. In contrast, the, [URL=http://www.johnpearse.partsking.net/trekpics/starbig.jpg][i]Valkyrie[/i] model[/URL] was labeled that on [URL=http://www.mjtsc.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/starg.htm]both sides[/URL], and thus its sign has no "aka" caveat. Of course, why the [i]Nebula[/i]'s sign says "[i]U.S.S. [b]Phoenix[/b][/i] (aka [i]Farragut[/i])" and not "[i]U.S.S. [b]Leeds[/b][/i] (aka [i]Farragut[/i])" is an unanswered question. Perhaps the signmaker remembered its first appearance in "The Wounded" (TNG) particularly strongly. Regardless, I am now fairly certain of my theory. Thank you. -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
