I believe the thingie is on the mini-nacelles in the first image because the Melbourne model was pretending to be the Phoenix in the ready room (or somewhere similar) in...uh...the TNG episode with the Phoenix. (Man, I remember when I could remember all the TNG episode titles.)

"The Wounded". Even I remember that one, and it's one of the ones I know I've seen, but that I don't actually remember seeing anymore.
Then again, maybe that's why I remember the name...

when I was fifteen, i once recited all the entire run of episode titles from the original series, animated series and next generation in order, with episode numbers.
apparently my memory was worth a damn back then. but why the hell did i spend my youth memorizing Star Trek episode titles? and how did i forget?
oh well.
yeah, it was 'the wounded' episode 86, fourth season. first appearance of the cardassians, the galor-class warship and the nebula class starship. guest starred marc alaimo as gul macet, before he later went on to play dukat. marco rodriguez played glinn telle, and he previously played captain paul rice in 'the arsenal of freedom'
that was all off the top of my head. i am proud worship me.. worship

That is the problem with them making ANOTHER new series - Enterprise. As I mentioned before it came out... Why not just leave Trek alone for a few years. There are just SO many episodes out there of TOS, TAS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager that I'm sure next to nobody has seen or can remember clearly seeing all the episodes at least ONCE let alone twice.
I'm still to fill in some TOS and TAS gaps.

Yeah, I do...well, used to. These days I've been making cell phone games.
The DS9 game was always a disappointment to me because the game got so radically changed from what I intended. The Saratoga level is the only one that really reflects the play mechanics I had in mind, and the level as seen was only about half what it was supposed to be. The perks of working on the game were I got the show bible and the first six scripts a month-plus before the first episode aired. When I'd visit Playmates toys (the game's publisher) I got to see all their prototype Trek toys plus actual props they'd borrowed from the show to model. Plus I got Rick Sternback to send me copies of the large plans done for the station and the soundstage plans. Unfortunately, all that stayed with the development house and is lost in Budapest somewhere. *sigh*
This all vaguely relates to the topic in a weird sort of way. I met Mike Okuda when I was on the Paramount lot (hence the earlier details about art dept.). And, because I had Mike's number I was able to call Rick Sternback when I was on the DS9 project and thus was able to beg for the aforementioned reference materials. And, year or so later, it was via Rick that I met Andy Probert. I was working on an underwater sci-fi game and wanted to hire him to design the human made technology...I asked Rick about Andy and he put us in touch. The project never came to fruition, but that's how I got to be pals with Andy.
Then there was the time I talked to Greg Jein and he told me of a very naughty joke he wanted to play in a Trek effects shot...but that's another story...

fuck the nebula in BOBW!
my memory is based on what i could see, and see a nebula i could not...
people who pay more attention to the behind the scenes stuff as opposed to what is actually in front of them deserve to be as confused as they are!
