I think Liam is thinking of "Catspaw," though it has been a very long time since I saw the other. And the Enterprise was tiny, and made of pewter. As I recall.

I am not, as I will now prove by stealing Starship Freak's bandwidth.

Give me money.
And on Siegy's point, The Cage Enterprise also had different impulse engines, although I am not sure how.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Actually, I've just had an idea about how to explain the reg number of the Constellation. She'd just been in dock for repairs to her saucer and the yard techs were a little dyslexic and repainted her hull with NCC-1017 instead of NCC-1710 and didn't have the time to repaint again before she deployed. Simple as that. Problem solved.

quote:Originally posted by PsyLiam: Starship Freak's site has made me think of something. At one point during "Requiem for Methuselah", the Enterprise is shrunk down and put on a table. As tends to happen. Anyway, the model used has balls on the end of the nacelles. Is this the AMT kit? I didn't think the AMT kit had balls on the end of the nacelles until after the series had finished. And if it's a superior, more accurate version, how come they could afford to build it for this, but not for "The Doomsday Machine"?
I believe that's the oroiginal 3-footer Enterprise miniature built prior to the 11 footer we know and love. As I recall, it's much too big to be an AMT kit.

Or whatever.

That must be the one that William Shatner holds in the TOS publicity photo with a model of the Enterprise.
