[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The thing that suggests telescoping for the four-naceller is the fancy boxlike superstructure at the aft rim of the saucer: it apparently has an opening at the back, one that nicely matches the contours of the aft hull features that would move into the front hull if the hull did telescope. Similarly, there's plenty of room for the X-pylons to move, in the form of hull openings at the hinge points. Why would these openings have been left in the aft hull if not to allow for this movement? The other models with comparable level of detail did not have unexplained holes anywhere, even when it apparently took some effort to create a wholly enclosed hull of the required shape. I still suspect a "transformer" trick was built into these models to accentuate the technological superiority of the Excelsior to the Enterprise. *And* I'm happy Nimoy didn't give the go-ahead for that particular trick...
