Where'd This Phase II Cutaway Come From...?

[F. King Daniel]

It'd be an odd asymmetrical shape if that truly was a rear view. I chalk it up to TOS not showing the perspective properly and say they're the same ship, only with golden glowing shields activated in "Mudd's Woman"

I guess it's quite possible the original artist intended the pointy end to be the front. Or that the glowing shield(?) was obscuring it's true shape. IIRC our first look at a Klingon battlecruiser was a similar golden blob smudge thing.

In the TOS shot, the ship is angled slightly to the left so I don't think it is a direct rear view.

It's interesting to note that the TOS-R version of this vessel in "Mudd's Women" looks nothing like either of these. It resembles more like a Galaxy Quest N.S.E.A. Protector with TOS-style warp nacelles.

To make things even Mudd-ier still, I think that TOS mudd ship was based on some of Jefferies early concepts for the Enterprise?

Hmm, I haven't heard that before, but would you be referring to this? I can see it, if so.

Man, I'm glad thet didn't go with that design, it looks like a flying toilet seat.

The core of it--a one man version, was in one of Barlow's art books.
