Donny's Refit Enterprise Interiors (Version 2.0)

[Maurice]

The stuff in the Peel Off Graphics Book is not always identical to the film, as there were variations done throughout. I suspect some were altered for the book. Never been able to get hold of Lee Cole despite many attempts so no definitive answer there.

But if they meant that specific sticker, sure, it's not in the movie AFAIK.

@Tallguy, I sometimes get things wrong, but I'm the first one to mea culpa if I do. In fact, as soon as I posted that message about the Klingon insignia I realized I'd typed "first shot" instead of "first shot of the Klingons", and technically the second shot in the film, so I fixed it.

On our FACT TREK feed we even have a # for it FACT_TREK_CORRECTION.

I expected no less.

Regarding the modifications of the travel pod between TMP and TVH, Memory Alpha sheds some light that Richard Taylor hated the original design:

For its appearance in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, the travel pod studio model was refurbished and reused. (Trek: The Unauthorized Story of the Movies, p. 122) Model Shop Supervisor Jeff Mann stated, "We added a back half to [it]." (The Making of the Trek Films, 3rd ed., p. 68) The modifications, performed at Industrial Light & Magic, entailed the removal of the backplate with the large circular airlock door, that had irked Taylor so much. It was replaced with a ribbed plate with a like-wise ribbed center back-spine strut (reminiscent of the back of the orbital shuttle, that accompanied the pod in the movie) that held up a protruding bottom thruster nozzle, though, ironically, the modification was not visible in the feature. In this feature scenes of the crew in the cockpit of the pod were rear-projected in the model.

Until today I was blissfully unaware of that Travel Pod hatchet-job. Now I'll never be able to unsee it, even thought it can't actually be seen.

I'll know it was there.

BUT HOW DO THEY GET OUT? RIDDLE ME THAT, RICHARD.

BUT HOW DO THEY GET OUT? RIDDLE ME THAT, RICHARD.

Transporters?

 

[Mytran]

Ceiling hatch?

BUT HOW DO THEY GET OUT? RIDDLE ME THAT, RICHARD.

In-board transporter.

 

[Nightowl1701]

In which case, why even bother with a travel pod? Just beam straight to the ship or, if you must go sightseeing, use a standard shuttlecraft.

Ceiling hatch?

There is one.

It's got a big window! Maybe they're like pick-up
trucks for EVAs, with an internal forcefield acting as an airlock.

So we can get pretty starship reveals, of course.

Donny, regarding the STIV bridge graphics:
I remember a few years back there was an auction for a production binder that had the complete Okudagrams for the bridge, BoP, and other 24th century sets from the film. I believe a member here snapped up that binder - maybe Joe Ralat?

Here's the only image I snagged from the listing while it was still on eBay:

Does anyone have any info at all on this binder with these images? Or perhaps anywhere that more of them may appear at? These are the most super rare console graphics in Trek history I feel, and the LCARSaphile in me would give almost anything to get my hands on them. I have made a recreation of the Communications station before, but I can already see that there are some button layouts I got wrong. Plus, those Klingon graphics <3

@JoeRalat won the auction for that binder, IIRC.

well... crap....
Me and Joe had a bit of a falling out over the whole fanfilm thing. And just because of that, I don't think he would give me the time of day, much less share his Okudagram stash.

 

[Donny]

I haven't been posting shots of the travel pod, but I've been working behind the scenes! I have an extra-long weekend coming up (Fri-Mon) so I imagine I'll be getting a ton of work done, possibly finishing up the exterior. Stay tuned!

Will it be available at cargo 6?

Car go 6, car get ticket for holding up traffic.

*Snicker* You've reminded me how I misunderstood that "PA" voice. For several years, watching the edition that aired on HBO in the early 80s, I found myself scratching my head over the seeming gibberish, "Pay cure bee quad." Maybe I was just incredibly "dense"; maybe the audio mix for that copy was just a bit off. Upon watching on VHS, maybe the DVD (before the "Director's Cut"), I finally realized that disembodied voice was saying, "Pressure equalized," in response to a successful docking.

D'OH!!!

Is Cargo 6 handling boardings at a snail's pace then?
