[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [qb] ...But only assuming that the ship got any decals at all. Save for the Starfleet arrowheads. Perhaps cutting and pasting the letters one by one was not rewarding enough for the modelmaker. (Or did these guys have access to a decal printer?) Timo Saloniemi [/qb][/QUOTE]Possibly the model was the last one built before filming and time wa an issue. The modelers seem to have learned the lesson of the Wolf 359 models and evidently not felt the need to make bueatiful models that would never get any scrutiny on screen (except from us psychos!). Speaking as someone that's built the Medusa, Niagra, Freedom, Elkins, Yeager, Centaur and is building the Springfield I have to say that much more effort went into the 359 models: too much for the threeseconds of screentime most of them got really. My largest reason for thinking the Medusa's side view was inaccurate is that so many of the other side views were incorrect (along with lots of "placeholder text"). having just built the Niagra, I had to scrutinize the pics of the study model and re-work a lot of the nacelle pylons and phaser strips that are wholly incorrect in the fan schematics and the STTM version was totally off. The nacelles are waaay too forward, the bridge decks are just copied from the Freedom and not at all like the model and for some reason the shuttlebay is considered to be shorter than on the Ambassador when the studio model actually has it's own blown off! The ship has [b]no[/b] neck either! Us fans can be as unintentionally misleading as the Magazine was when doing reference for CGI and physical models. (steps down off soapbox) [/QB][/QUOTE]
