[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] you got it right about the bridge dome thing.. but the grid marks are a little more controversial.. Original model maker Richard C. Datin said in the July 1996 issue of Cinefantastique that, "The original model was smooth and didn't show any lines or marks, except for the lettering and numbers." The pencil lines were theorized to have been added by those who restored the original model when it toured various locales during the 1970s. This is also when the nacelle domes were lost or destroyed and replaced with simple 'blinkies.' Photos of the model from 1974 show no grids or markings, but in pictures taken by Jeff Brown in 1977 at the "Life in the Universe" exhibition at the Smithsonian, grid lines are evident. They appear to have been drawn on the upper saucer section with a pencil, but when they were added to the model (and by whom) is unclear. The grids were maintained as painting details in the 84 and again in the massive repainting Ed Miarecki did in 91, which leaves the Enterprise in its current (IMO overpainted) condition. So its definitely a revision, since the grid lines were not added until several years after the model was filmed, and never appeared on screen. see [URL=http://members.aol.com/IDICPage/enterprise.html]The IDIC Page- Enterprise model history[/URL] [/QB][/QUOTE]
