To the guy below, yeah I think you need to paste them into the location bar and enter them....though it didn't work once I'd already tried accessing them as a link. Ones I hadn't accessed worked when copy and pasting them...annoying

I had posted a topic about this a while back. I knew that there was supposed to be a new model built for the Pegasus, and I knew it was supposed to have four nacelles. However, I didn't know that it was supposed to be a filmable model of the Cheyenne. The statements made in the episode about the Pegasus' systems being the testbed for the later Galaxy class ships would have made much more sense if they'd have used the Cheyenne model instead of the Oberth.

You know, Frank posted a 'cap of the screen showing us the supposed 4 nacelles, but the 'cap was rather small, not showing us much. Anyone got a bigger 'cap?

That has always boggled me. If they couldn't afford to build a filmable Cheyenne, why did they build a NEW model for the Oberth for this episode. They did you know...

I'd never heard that they built a new Oberth model for this ep, but it could've been alot more cost efficiant if that's true. Especially if they still had all the original molds and stuff that they used to construct the first one. When making 3-D stuff like that, making the molds is at least half the expense and time.
If they had constructed a Cheyenne model, they would've had to have built all new molds, or at least copied and modified some of the Galaxy Class molds before they could even start wiring, painting and decaling the ship.

AFAIK, it was a reuse of the model that was built for ST3. They just relabeled it and made an asteroid around the model.

Tom: Except that the "Hero Worship" one had the front of the sacuer blown away, while, in "The Pegasus", that was one of the only parts we could see intact.

I believe what the Companion said was that they had planned on building a new model for the Pegasus, but budgetary considerations forced them to use the already-existing Grissom model.

"Though Rick Sternbach readied sketches of a new ship based on Enterprise-"C"-era designs, budget forced the reuse of the Grissom model of ST III in unaltered form with the "rock" simply pressed in around it..."

A ha! thanks... my bad - I don't know why I remembered it as a new model... they must have done the model up then, because it looks more 'realistic' than when we usually see it. (the Oberth)
