Nice! I've never seen that without the people in the shot.

Is this for real, or were the men painted out?

I wa also wondering that. If for real then this is quite a rare photo.

Real photo. Spockboy cleaned up the speckles and adjusted the contrast/colors, but no other edits.

The picture has been around since at least last year. I want to say it's a Smithsonian photo...maybe?

I like that Christine watches and waits...she is pure evil.

Nice work. I love seeing Trek in the real-world context of its time.

Rather poetic having a Ford Galaxie parked nearby.

Y'all ever see this one?



By the way, I tend to prefer the circumscribed bridge, myself.

Its from an article entitled "Two Enterprises: Star Trek's Iconic Starship as Studio Model and Celebrity", written by Margaret Weitekamp (the curator of the 11 foot model at NASM), and recently published in The Journal of Popular Film and Television (Volume 44, Issue 1, pages 2-13). The article is available online at http://www.tandfonline.com/loi/vjpf20 however you need a subscription to view or download it (or an employer whose IP address affords extensive access to online journals

).

Here's a couple other interesting photos from the article (first one I'd seen before,.but at poorer resolution. Second one shows the underside of the crated saucer (new to me!) as delivered to the Smithsonian in 1974.

Sure. It's a very interesting article, contains a number of juicy details prev. unknown to this reader. That under saucer shot is inneresting to me in that the connecting dorsal apparently fits flush up against it.
