Thanks! I'll let you know if/when I finish.
New Original Series USS Enterprise
- Thread starter scifieric
- Start date
Because of the random order they did TOS-R in, the good shots get compromised by the early shots when you watch the series in order. Never understood why they chose to do that.
Although I'd like to have seen what the team that did the Defiant from "In A Mirror, Darkly" would have done for TOS-R, I think the effects for "The Tressaurian Intersection" of the USS Exeter were what I thought CBS Digital were going to try and aim for. Those effects just complemented the look of a 60s episode perfectly.
Looking forward to see what you come up with.
I'm trying to remember. I read why they did episodes in what order, it might have been something like either the number of effects per episode, or perhaps it was popularity (most popular first).

The "In A Mirror, Darkly" used an all digital starship. "The Tressaurian Intersection" was good, but they would have had to recreate all the models from the original series. Not impossible, but I think no matter who did the job would probably go all digital.
Thanks!Looking forward to see what you come up with.
On yeah, knew that (they'd been all digital since perhaps later DS9, definitely since Voyager?). It was just the effects of the Defiant by Eden FX were just so well done, showing the Grand Lady of Starfleet strutting her stuff when she escaped the Tholian drydock, and then decimated the Terran rebel fleet!
Would loved to have seen their take on TOS-R!
This week's Inglorious Treksperts podcast had a conversation with Dave Rossi, the fellow who ran TOS-R. 13 years on, you get some different opinions since the time it came out. Interesting evolution on who was approached and how CBS Digital wound up getting the gig and who thought what about what the goals were. My takeaway: It could have been so much worse.
OTOH, Dave has got to stop saying there were 14 shots of the original Enterprise. Somebody went to a lot of trouble to find out how many shots there were.

LOL!
I would enjoy that.
Epic!
Okay, I went over quite a few pictures and I found several that are high enough quality to test. There is an indent just behind the back end of the cutout. It goes in 3/32 on the 11 foot model, making that spot 3/16 narrower in diameter. The spot is where the aft end of the neck meets the secondary hull and just in front of the T hatch outline on the bottom. Including that actually made my lines make more sense. So I have modified all the views. As far as I know, no one else has that in their drawings/CG models. Kerr certainly doesn't. It is hard to see, but definitely there. Hello Yotsuya I have been following alot of different threads gathering information on the studio model TOS Enterprise and these photos you have presented seem to be the most accurate I have studied and would like to have all of the views if you would be so willing to post. I want to make a CAD model as accurate as I can and then I have an idea of a modular design approach as to how I would create a physical ship. I would think that if the enterprise was created in reality it would be designed in smaller sections and then assembled in space like a puzzle. I can visualize turbo lifts as the main structure to build around and out from them. I am knew to this forum and could not private message you. My email is misterggg [at] msn [dot] com if you want to respond back. Thank you
This is what I have for the orthographic starboard profile with the change. Please forgive the Secondary hull grid, that is my own creation.
And here is a higher resolution image with the bottom view as well.
whats TOS-R?
The remastered version of Star Trek: The Original Series that was produced and broadcast between 2006 and 2009.
