[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Mighty Monkey of Mim: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Ryan McReynolds: [qb] I believe it's pretty firmly established that there were lines added after the pilots, but they were done in pencil only and nearly invisible. There are shots on a couple of the various modelling reference sites that show the lines, and the fact that they aren't seen in others just demonstrates their faintness. There isn't really any other explanation for them ever being visble, unless it's a vast conspiracy to deceive nerds everywhere. [/qb][/QUOTE]Yes. As far as the top of the saucer goes, that is true. The guy who built the model (his name escapes me at the moment) said he didn't put any gridlines on the ship and that they weren't on it when he modified it for the second pilot either, but rather that someone drew them on in pencil during the first season of production on the series. Therefore, the two pilot versions should not have gridlines, but the series version should. Actually, more what I was confused about was whether or not there should be gidlines on the [b]ventral[/b] side of the saucer, as I never seem to remember seeing those until they were either darkened or just plain added by Ed Miarecki when he did the repainting of the model for the Smithsonian's 1991 "restoration" of the ship. I still haven't quite figured out which it was. [QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [b]i hope we are going into this with the awareness that the dimensions of the Franz Joseph blueprints are completely dissimilar to the dimensions of any of the models used to represent the Enterprise in TOS, right?[/b][/QUOTE]Yes, absolutely. I am postulating that the [i]Constitution[/i] in fact was structured just as FJ drew it, and then the [i]Enterprise[/i] and other ships sported individual modifications in design as they were constructed, similar to how present-day navies operate, and just as we have seen in Trek with ships like the [i]Excelsior[/i] and [i]Enterprise[/i]-B. Rev: fan-tastic! ;) -[b]MMoM[/b] :D [/QB][/QUOTE]
