Where does this picture of the Phase II Enterprise study model come from?

[Maab]

I was doing some research on Phase II Enterprise and I was reading the brief, but very well done, history compiled by David Shaw (here), the guy who restored the original Matt Jefferies designs (here) and built a model after them.

In Shaw’s document there is this 'double-picture', which is clearly a screenshot from a video, where it's shown supposedly a study model of the Enterprise built by Brick Price before Jefferies finalized his designs.

So my question is: does anybody know where do these images come from?

At first I thought that it could be from the “Hollywood Treasure” documentary series (Ep. 15 “Trek to the Future”), where Brick Price shows the original molds built for the series, but after watching the episode I found out that they are not in there.

I tried to contact David Shaw (who has written here on various occasions so maybe he’ll read this) personally, but I didn’t receive any answer.

Thanks.

It seems to be showing up normally to me, too, so it's not merely stuck in your buffer or anything...

Can't help you with your question, sorry.

They're frames from a video, obviously. I can't recall which one off hand. Is it from the Phase II special features on the DE? Or perhaps a video about Wonderworks.

Well, I haven't seen the DE documentaries for years, so I've just checked again to be sure, and those pictures are not in there. The only video about Wonderworks (or Brick Price Movie Miniatures) I know of is the “Hollywood Treasure” documentary I've already mentioned, and they are not in there too. Is there any other place I could check?

I will have to look in my archives, but I'm restoring a boot drive on my old Mac Pro tower where that stuff lives, so I can't check right now. It might have been off a DVD magazine about effects work I had.

Every time I look at the Wonder Works site I shake my head at how crap it is. They don't even have a reel of their work in films.

Did they take that saucer right from an AMT kit?

Yeah. It was sort of a study model as I recollect.
