[QUOTE]Originally posted by MrNeutron: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [qb] that is a desk behind the model.. those are desk drawers.. this model is a lot bigger than four feet methinks.. [/qb][/QUOTE]As to the desk with drawers, a) how far away is it, and b) what kind of lens was the picture shot with? One big problem with trying to determine the sizes of these minatures is that people who worked on the films "guesstimate" the sizes. I've heard the TMP model referred to as being anywhere from six to 10 feet long (it's closer to seven). Based on the other pix I've seen of the Phase II model, I'd estimate it's length at four to five feet. The pictures of Loos working on what is very plainly the secondary hull convinces me this is right. And given TV budgets it would make no sense for a 4 foot model and a somewhat larger (say six foot) model to be built. Also, if the model was a lot bigger than four feet I doubt the seven foot TMP model would have been built, as it's been stated a lot of places that the Phase II model was too small for motion picture purposes (heck, Doug Trumbull thought the TMP model was too small). When I get home from work I'll scan the pictures of the Phase II model and the drydock built for it. I'll also ask Andy Probert about it, as several of the photos of the Phase II model are credited as coming from his collection. [/QB][/QUOTE]
