FUCK the chair with the seatbelts. God damn that was a stupid scene.
Somebody's got ne baddass K chair in their basement somewhere.
I heard they lost the Reliant filming model as well....I don't know if that was ever found.

Indeed. I'm pretty sure it was the 4' E-D miniature anyway.
the 4-footer was used regularly even after TNG wrapped - i.e. DS9 - I don't think it's that one.

The 4-footer was last filmed for "WotW" as the Venture. That gives plenty of time for the model to disappear, end up in a restaurant, get found, and feature in the TNG DVD special features.
Besides, IIRC it's possible to see the Venture rego number on the recovered miniature. There was screen caps but I can't find them now. The model looked more like the 4-footer than the 6-footer too.
Okay, about the stolen captain's chairs from Generations and Nemesis... Patrick Stewart said in an interview with Conan O'Brien that the E-D chair from Generations was stolen during the crash sequence. Then the Nemesis chair was also stolen during the end of filming for the movie, yet a lawyer contacted Paramount and "loaned" it for an undisclosed price. That lawyer still has the chair.
As for the 4 foot Galaxy Class models, I beleive the guy I met who worked in the art department said that the studio made about 4 to six ships from the moulds and destroyed them so no one else can make starships. One was used during the rest of the TNG series, a few went out to exhibitions and Planet Hollywood locations, and he snuck away with one unbuilt model. I am not quite sure how many were casted, but for all I know one was blown up for the Cause and Effect sequence since it was hollow.

Nothing new (or good) in taht chart. I could work with that strange Oberth variant though. I doubt those were "in progress" anything, but rather poor renderings of limited refrences. I never saw anything that matches those supposed "in progress designs" for Spacedock or the Oberth.
