Hmm... odd. The model is obviously in the same place in both the Mechanics pic and the interview, as evidenced by the TNG poster in the background and the rubber band hanger. The interview was taped in August 1991, so assuming the pic is older, the pod probably popped out at some point after filming was finished on BOBW. It should actually be flush, like you said.

Actually, there didn't seem to be any orientation per se, since the model was bouncing up and down and twirling from the ceiling in the footage. [Smile] Not hard to see how something could jostle loose.

Does anybody want them? (I'm probably opening a Pandora's box here.) [Big Grin]

I'm not sure if they'd be of any better quality, though, since my capture software is so crappy...

As someone once said, the damage doesn't look as bad from out here. Aside from losing anyone working in the far aft sections of the secondary hull, and some hits to the dorsal surface of the saucer, it looks like the Kyushu could be harboring quite a few survivors. (Barring things invisible and nasty, like, say, radiation from that exploded nacelle. Ouch.)

Hmm, come to think of it, it may not be so conclusive after all...
I think you'll find that particular photo has been airbrushed so it's nearly impossible to tell if the pod is blended or seperated.
Personally I have no problem with the pod being able to extend and retract like that, for all we know it could be a function of...whatever the those pods are.

Or the crew could have been beamed aboard the cube and assimilated. You're right though, it is in pretty good nick, maybe even repairable.

Actually, that "ST Mechanics" picture seems to have very little shadowing of any sort anywhere, so I'm not sure that it's conclusive, either.

That said, my belief has been reaffirmed that the New Orleans looks completely bad-ass from any angle except a profile schematic view. :-)

2) I don't think the ventral pod is supposed to be extended like that. Think about it: that's the
perfect place to put the mounting rod for filming. But the pod's in the way. So...pull off the pod &
put it on a pole of sorts so that when it's replaced, it can simply slide into the mounting hole. In
these shots, it looks as if it's been falling out. Of course, for show reasons, we could say that it's
the mounting trunk for the pod, created for simple & easy swapability like the bridge units.

Trek ships - especially the smaller ones, were mounted upside-down.

Great new pics! I'm especially pleased with the New Orleans which simply looks great from the various angles.

May I use the new images at EAS?

On average. There were always various mounting points. Plus, didn't we see Kyushu, Princeton, & a couple others dorsally only? That would require a ventral mount.

One wonders if the model is still on Se�or Okuda's ceiling. If so, it may merely be a simple task of popping off a note & saying, "Hey Mike? Is that pod supposed to be out like that?"

Anyway, I'll try and cap some of the graveyard scene based on the common angles seen at EAS, Copernicus, and Starship Class. Give me a few days, though. I wanna play around and see if I can get better quality.

I'm also growing quite fond of the New Orleans--yet another reason it sucks that Unseen Frontier was canned.
