[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] A last-minute addition by Probert, a curvaceous shape mimicking the fins at the ends of the warp nacelles, seems to dominate the top of the neck. Just below it is a horizontal line where the color of the neck changes a bit, at least in the CGI version. This is the most likely separation line, leaving about one deck's worth of the neck attached to the saucer. There's also a small triangular bit at the forward edge of that line, a latch of sorts that is supposed to slide down during separation as shown in those Probert storyboards for TMP separation. Of course, we never saw how the ship would [i]really[/i] separate: perhaps the "true" separation line lies where the model itself was cut, which would be along the curved upper surface of that late-minute-addition shape. Also, if the TMP saucer was just 127.1 meters wide like the TOS one reputedly is, rather than 141.7 m, the rest of the ship would indeed be smaller. But since it is larger than the TOS remainder to begin with, this might not be so wrong after all... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
