Public Resource Enterprise.

[Captain Robert April]

Well, let's swerve this back on topic and take a look at the two best examples we have of publicly available plans of the Enterprise, specifically, the Sinclair and Casimiro drawings.

First, here they are side by side, Casimiro in red, Sinclair in blue...



And overlaid...

Hey Can we get a set of 3d Glasses to look at the picture now will it jump out of the screen at me? nice comparison job there :thumbsup:

 

[Captain Robert April]

It started off as an attempt to mix and match the parts from each of the drawings, but I'm not so sure how well that would actually work.

What you have to keep in mind is that these are to scale (vs. Jeffries non-scaled) drawings of the actual 134" studio model. This means you can build them as drawn, unlike the Jeffries drawings which cannot be built to any scale, but merely represented either intentional mis-information or an imprecise fanciful design that really is not reflective of the ship in the TV series anyway.

As far as I'm concerned, that drawing is NOT the Enterprise. It doesn't even look like the ship in the series with that new hull design.

 

[Captain Robert April]

Well, since the Jefferies diagram isn't included above, I really don't see the relevance.

... other than to bash Jeffries work some more, perhaps.

Hey Joe, what do ya know?

More correctly, what do you want to know?

Here's something I have yet to see anyone correctly depict in their blueprints or cartoons:

Which or course would effect the entire shape of their secondary hulls.


Thomas, a niceguy.

Examined the studio model on 13 Dec, with the NASM curator, and there is no such "bump".

When posting, you might want to also post the source of your "facts". The photo you have is of a model which is inaccurate.

It was proven by REL this was Sasser's attempt to sabotage projects that are in competition with his. The image is a Photoshopped forgery.

Do you have a link? This sounds like an interesting confrontation.

You'll have to ask Richard to see it.

This is a friendly, in this case for trolling ThomasModels. What happens to and regarding members on other boards stays on other boards. It would've been sufficient to simply say that the picture had been proven a fake.
