[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dukhat: [QB] Awesome. Just the other day I was doing a Google search on "U.S.S. Melbourne" to see if Propworx had found the original model along with the Buran. And now we have the pre-damaged version! Yay! Thoughts: So both pods from the Melbourne and the Chekov were pieces added later by Okuda, and not originally constructed by Miarecki. Okuda says they were cockpits from a Robotix toy set. That probably also means that the smaller nacelles on both Melbourne models were also Okuda additions, the only difference being that the desktop version had the nacelles but not the pod. So Miarecki's original version had nothing where the now-obligatory weapons pod went on the filming model. And on that note: [QUOTE]Originally posted by 137th Gebirg: [qb]I'm now wondering if that coffin-box-like thing that they were mounted on was eventually lifted up to be made to look like a smaller sensor pod on the Sisko desk model, after the engines had been removed.[/qb][/QUOTE]No, because the desktop model in Sisko's office still had the two nacelles, just with a tiny connecting piece added on between them. I always guessed that the Melbourne's small nacelles were on a separate piece stuck to the back of the saucer, and not at the end of the secondary hull. Turns out I was right, lol. Also, it looks like the Kyushu's bridge model was a custom-built piece, not the actual part from the 1/1400 model kit. [/QB][/QUOTE]
