[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] I think the question was, where does the real-life cue for the America come from? AFAIK: Original Constitution, with high bridge dome: "The Cage". Bonhomme Richard: "WNMHGB", TOS, TAS - with some details magically alternating between the mildly different "WNMHGB" and TOS/TAS versions. Todd Guenther tries to explain these as refits and upgrades, but I prefer to believe in retractable or otherwise transformable gadgetry myself. Achernar: Never seen in model form, but clearly seen as computer-readout blueprints in TMP and ST3. Upper variant from Franz Joseph, lower probably just something Todd Guenther doodled up for the sake of "historical consistency". Constitution variant/ "Constitution II": The best approximation of Phase II that Todd could come up with, combining several sources to finish an in reality unfinished model. Note how Todd has two different torp tube configurations, neither of which probably made it to the model. Tikopai: Todd's take on an early TMP version, seen e.g. in poster form. Enterprise: Actual TOS movie ship. America: Actual TOS movie ship with alternate elements from surviving Probert sketches (many of which can be seen in Johnson's "Mr Scott's Guide to the Enterprise"). Todd's take on what could have been had just about every single detail been done according to these alternate sketches. As for where the hell the Endeavor originates from... I've been told that sketches showing those weird nacelles exist, and may even have been made by Jeffries himself. I just haven't seen the sketches anywhere myself. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
