I meant the model in the link you provided.

Looks bigger than the 2.7 stated length to me.

You said it was smaller than the models you had seen. What other models are these?

[EDIT: Oh, is it the Enterprise model you meant? Because I'm pretty sure that's the model used in all the films.]

Yeah, I was talking about the Enterprise model- it's not the big expensive version- that's much larger (and I doubt they'd risk some ass knocking it off the table after too much champagne).

Nope, I think that is indeed the one and only studio model of the ship, which can also be seen here. That site says it's approximately 7 feet long, though I think I've heard 8 elsewhere. Perhaps you're thinking of the gigantic replica from the Experience? (Pictures of that coming soon from me! [Wink] )

It's just that the one on the table does not look that big in the pics.


Stupid of them to have it anywhere near food- some ass could easily slop something on it.

I'm kinda suprised that Workbee model has not found it's way onto an Ebay prop auction yet....

I don't see the problem with them putting it near food. It's not like it's ever going to be used again.

Yes, you're despicable, and... and picable... and... and you're definitely, definitely despicable. How a person can get so despicable in one lifetime is beyond me. 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.

While I tend to agree with Timo's statement (for design reasons), I do think it belongs in a museum.

Why not after all? that silly shround of Turin is in one and that's hardly a signifigant object of worship comared to the Enterprise.

Actually, the Shroud of Turin is kept in a church.

Really?
I thought it was on some sort of touring museum exhibit a while back.
All the pretty golden (read: stolen from the oppressed masses) papal objects were recently on display at our museum.

Meh...makes sense, I suppose- bits and chunks of various saints are kept in jars and boxes in churches as relics, so why not the shroud?

Still, I think the Enterprise is more of an international icon than one religion's bogus bloody cloth (thus warranting Smithsonian status- I mean fuck plenty of other T.V. crap is already in there).

I saw them in there. I can't remember the episode...

See!?! that pic proves the Workbee is 3 meters long!

You should add Teegan and Turlough wandering around in there somewhere....

That picture also proves that Stormtroopers are about twelve feet tall...

And that TOS shuttles are larger than Runabouts, but it's still a nice image.

Mabye Harry Kim is just really small (explaining why he was always overlooked for promotion. [Wink]
