[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I suspect somebody at first thought it would be a good idea to kitbash a lot of new designs to give the war fleets some "depth". Eager amateurs then got into it. And the somebody who had ordered the kitbashing was so appalled by the poor quality that he or she ordered the ships to be filmed only on the distant background. He or she just didn't want to outright throw away the models so as not to insult the well-meaning co-workers. I wonder if it is easier to film a kitbash today than it was during TNG. You don't necessarily have to build in the lighting now - you can add it in post-production with computers. The Centaur model, even though seen up close, may have been a very simple empty shell of plastic. It could also be that at that point, the best way to show a damaged ship (say, the "Frederickson" Excelsior under tow) was to build an inexpensive kit, damage it, and film it with some CGI add-on lighting effects. While the modelers were at it, they decided they could use the leftover parts of all the kits they had bought to create some new designs... Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
