[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] Okuda sez the registry is the good old 2000, but the name on this model originally (as finished by the boys at ILM) read "USS Alka-selsior"... Since Mike said "originally", the name might have been altered later on. In any case, Bernd has convincingly argued that this was probably one of the first Excelsior study models to be built, since it uses the pre-existing Constitution-refit saucer and not the more customized designs seen on the other two known study models. The model with the lenticular hull and traditional secondary hull apparently is the final version before the "production model", while the flat variant might come in between. Interestingly, the four-naceller and the flat ship have the correct saucertop detail while the saucertop of the lenticular-hull ship seems smooth. So the final design really is the best of both worlds... No, I don't think the coffee cup is an integral part of the ship design (unless it's a tanker of some sort) [IMG]http://flare.solareclipse.net/smile.gif[/IMG]. But note that nor are the dark diagonal lines on the saucer - that's just the metal wire used to hang the model from the Art Dept office ceiling. This sort of makes the saucer look confusingly like the Miranda class one in the bow-view photo... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
