[QUOTE]Originally posted by Dax: [QB] Roughly 6 months ago I was contacted by email by an individual called Mitch Jones. He claimed to work on TNG VFX during seasons 3 to 5. He described his work "My job as "camera 22" was wide angle shots of the models for mostly the battle scenes". We got talking on a few FX related topics including the reuse of the BoP miniature as the K'vort-class. He wrote "they had the decency to drill a few more windows to increase the deck number". At the time I had no way to confirm this as I only had "Yesterday's Enterprise" on tape and the detail is just not up to par. Now that I have the 3rd season DVD set, I can confirm that Mr Jones is correct -- you can clearly see rows of drill holes in "YE". The holes aren't lit but, if anything, it proves the supposed large BoP has a difference in external appearance from the std small one. Another thing that Mitch mentioned was that a second Warbird miniature was built. Apparently, like the 6' Ent-D, the original WB miniature was too heavy and awkward to film. He wrote that the second Warbird was lighter in both colour and mass and had much improved lighting (especially in the tail section). I think he's right about that too. In early episodes the Warbird only has a few window lights in the tail section. Later the tail is filled with window lights. It looks to me that "The Defector" was the first episode to use the new Warbird, as well as being the first appearance of the 4' Ent-D. It might be a coincidence but "The Defector" could also be taken as the first appearance of the K'vort-class although, according to Mitch, the drill holes weren't added until "YE". [/QB][/QUOTE]
