[QUOTE]Originally posted by AndrewR: [QB] [QUOTE]Could be the bottom view, yes... But if that's the case, the model's upside down in the side view, since the ribbon is clearly hanging down... But the DS9TM shows the model with the Excelsior pylons down, so that was probably considered the right way during construction. [/QUOTE]But they film a lot of the models upside down in Motion Control Photography... I've seen one of those "Effects" shows were they show the Runabouts being filmed... they're upside down... Smaller models might be shot upside down. Also, reguards the Raging Queen... those nacelles are HUMUNGOUS compared to the exxie saucer... could they be a sort of 'pre-excelsior' excelsior length nacelle - but still in the style of the Connie refit? ALSO reguarding the Ragin Queen name/font etc. It could be a 'crew' thing... naming it themselves - doing a sort of 'HMS Bounty' like McCoy dubbed the Klingon Scout in TVH. Someone on board might have a few existing copies of Saturday Night Live! Also, what are the nacelle pylons made out of on some of these... like the Connie variant? (This I think is a real class... it looks more 'normal' - i.e. components sticking within it's own class) or the strange 'thin' pylons on the RQ? ANNNND, which is the E-B saucer in the pic of the 3-N-Exxie? top or bottom according to the pic. AND, the two connie nacelles coming down is a nice touch - instead of just one nacelle, I think this might point to the fact that there are two 'conduits' - you know what I mean, from the warp core) going down each pylon and feeding into the one nacelle... could this mean that there are two sets of coils (smaller versions) within the same nacelle housing? Or is it like that Blue car with the three wheels in Mr. Bean!?! ;o) Oh, and anyone notice that the 3-N-Exxie, saucers aren't 'flush' together, but are separated by that metallic/copper looking arrangement? Large Scale Sensors? Big Arsed Phasers? ONE MORE OBSERVATION - on the 'roof' of the saucer of the connie-variant, did anyone notice the additional 'squares' the coppery one to the aft looks like a Transporter emitter. What are those 'red squares' though? Phaser turrets? Escape Pods? OK, off to look at the rest. ;) Andrew [/QB][/QUOTE]
