Just a question I've always wondered about. Where is that hatch shown on the bottom right with the registry on it? We something similar of the Ent B in Generations. The bottle breaks on something that has the registry written on it, but I can never tell where on the ship it's supposed to be.

Looks good. Do you have a nice big pic of the backside of the Excelsior - i want a better look at that undercut - 'shuttlebay' that is underneath...

I would love to see the NX Excelsior bridge and compare it to the ST-VI Sulu version.

The original Excelsior bridge was just an incomplete half-set with no viewscreen. I dunno if a full iso drawing could be constructed, unless you tried using the original sketches from "The Art of Star Trek" et. al., and perhaps the insanely inconsistent 80s comic books where Kirk was in command of Excelsior for a time.

...unless you mean the exterior, in which case the Trek VI one looks similar to the Refit Constitution style and the NX version looks like a simple oval with some detailing in the front.

The comics (which of course must take place in an alternate timeline since Kirk never commanded the Excelsior) must feature a completely different bridge module, unless they really creatively redecorated the one seen in ST3. Some features were a turboshaft directly in the center of the bridge, that you could walk all the way around. Once, they even showed the lift with a partition and stations asymmetrically off to one side that resembled the piece of bridge visible in the movie, positing that the movie bridge had that 20 station walkwayed monstrousity originally!
ok its past 4:20, going to sleep...

Got a scan of that comic Mike? Sounds... interesting
Talking about the excelsior bridge... I have since come to believe that it's NOT true... but is the 'Yeoman' chinese woman that stands next to Captain Styles accidently the same Chinese woman that was an officer on the Grissom... the one that gives that 'look' when David Marcus says they found Spock and that he was alive.
Yes they are both Chinese and both in mustard/yellow... but they have similar hair styles... and for the split second you see both - I thought there maybe a possibility that they accidently used the same actress on both bridges?
There is also an alien on the Excelsior bridge to the back left of Styles... seen in the bit where they close their restraints... was it a Deltan?
I wonder if anyone has talked to Miguel Ferrer about his 'stint' on Star Trek
AND what is that STICK/CANE thing that styles has? Is it to make him look more like a wanker?
"Up ya shaft" - a line by Scotty that is probably better than all the lines in Nemesis.

I believe it's actually a riding crop: for the ultimate in wanker-ism.

I don't think it was actually a riding crop, though he was holding it like one. He never actually used it for anything, but I seem to remember him grabbing it off of a shelf before leaving for the bridge after being informed that Kirk was stealing the Enterprise. So he apparently liked it alot.
