[QUOTE]Originally posted by The359: [QB] If it's a ship, where is the model of it then? Someone at ILM had to have built a model of this thing if it were in a matte. For all we know, the thing COULD be attached to Spacedock, and it's actually an L-Shape. The connection could be behind the ship, where we can't see. As for the nacelles, those are NOT Constitution nacelles. At least, they are not identical to Constitution nacelles: 1) Look at the Enterprise. Notice how there is a small circular grille, then a slanted section, then more grille? Notice how small the slanted section is? Now look at the "thing". Big friggin space between the two "grilles" there. 2) The "grilles" run to the very back of the nacelle. The grilles on a Constitution end much earlier. 3) The back of the nacelles on the Constitution are slanted inward, the opposite direction of the front of the nacelle. The slant on the back of the "thing's" nacelles is in the same direction as the front. 4) The bottom of the "thing's" nacelles are flat. The bottom of a Constitution's nacelle raises up a bit toward the back, plus there is a small fin at the very end. Also notice the shadow in the publicity pic. You can clearly see the shadow of the "nacelle", but where is the shadow of the "saucer"? The saucer is obviously sitting higher then the nacelles, so why isn't it there? Well, maybe the light source is coming from the bottom. OK, then why is there a giant shadow on the bottom? If the light source was from the top, then the nacelles wouldn't even appear at all! The shadows were mostly likely added by ILM (since comparing the ST3 screencap to this publicity shot, they obviously cleaned this thing up). They obviously screwed up in their altering of the image to add those shadows. BTW, anyone care to try and get a size reference of the Phase II Enterprise? You could compare it to the size of the Excelsior sitting next to the large structure... [/QB][/QUOTE]
