Is there any mention in the behind the scenes stuff on the changes made to the Excelsior studio model?

Well I'm only going by what Harry said:
"I remember that scene (or parts thereof). It features the President walking in with his wife... I guess the scene was on the 'standard' STVI DVD or something?"

Unfortunately there wasn't a dedicated model section at all, although Nick Meyer got his fair share of interviews in. No model shots at all that I've come across.

Depends. Sometimes a lot of them are, as seen in the TNG Bonus materials with Penny showing us her archive.

Right. My RC2 set has arrived. No Enterprise-B on any of the discs...

The Region 4 one is out now too. Also no Ent-B to be seen.
It's a pity that I found watching this movie again to be horribly boring. Probably the most (perhaps only) intersting thing is the interviews included on the bonus disc.

I got the DVD just the other day and the bit with the president and his wife is in fact a part of the theatrical trailer, along with a similar shot of Azetbur and co arriving at Khitomer...all three seconds of it.
It's too bad. I remembered liking this movie a lot more the last time than I did this time through. Pacing problems. Kinda dragged ass in many scenes, tried to be everything to all people and suffered greatly for striving for such mediocrity. Dunno. Seems like with the people involved, it should have been far better. It's not terrible, it's just... meh. Not really the coup de grace the Star Trek (OS) legacy deserved.
Also the bonus stuff was piddly weak tea. Well that's not 100% true, but there wasn't near as much as I'd hoped for, and it would seem, as much as there could have been. In one of the making-of featurettes, Shatner talks about how he wanted to add this gesture to the end of his 'let them die' speech (which I actualy agree with), but then they showed the raw clip of that with the gesture. Which when combined with some of the raw Brock Peters shots makes me think there must have been more we could have seen. Sadly, I liked the STV special features better.

I haven't seen this fancy special edition thing yet, but, Star Trek VI is possibly my second favorite, on account of it being the only movie that really uses the Federation as something more than background detail. (Though keep in mind this is from someone who thinks Star Trek: Dry Political Speechifying is a neat idea.)
