- Exactly what the title says. This video is full of actual pictures and videos that you can use to shut down those that pretend to know it all and know nothing other than what they were spoon-fed.
Most people just don't understand that the tv and video of the day blurred out all the details of the model. These were crucial to making it look good on screen. Modellers know all these tricks of shading. The hull plating. It gives a feeling of size and depth onscreen. This is what most people get wrong in their recreations.
David, that's absolutely true to a degree, for sure, but... Those of us who have studied the model for decades and read the books, primarly the making of Star Trek and Star Trek lives, those of us who have gone to the conventions, we've seen the details for decades. However, there are those in "The Community" that give out false information on purpose and there are those who absolutely cannot admit they are wrong, even when show proof and who will gather an enclave of minions that will back them to the last and that muddy the waters on some of the details, because they are privy to certain information, but not aware of everything. Personally, I know that Matt Jeffries did not want a bunch of greeblies like the Star Wars models and there is minimal "Plating" on this ship. I prefer to build a fresh, pristine Enterprise model, something that looks like it rolled out of dry dock yesterday.
WOW. That was a treat. And I was especially amazed to see for the first time that photo of the broken mirror shards inside Gene's "power balls". I've only seen a blurry image of when 1701 arrived at the Smithsonian with the engine domes missing. :)
BIG THUMBS UP.
But..... If you listened to the crack heads on the form. I don't know anything... LOL. I just keep proving the pro fess ionals wrong all of the time. LOL!
Loved seeing that! Always thought and had read somewhere long ago that there were mirror shards to reflect the lights onto the frosted domes for it to look great on camera, which it does and is so simple! Awesome!
Thanks for confirming how that lovely effect was created!
Man, I'm glad they undid that monstrosity of a "restoration" the Smithsonian did in the 90s. Broke my heart to see the grand old dame tarted up like that.
At 308 there' an image of the impulse deck pointing out a slight indent on the underside, the reason is because on the ends there was a piece of cloth I think it was which only covered the ends of the impulse housing.
Yes, many in the hobby called it a herringbone pattern in reality it was stretched burlap. LOL! =/\=
Seeing the process above, I can understand now why TOS series rarely showed space combat actions because filming it will take a huge efforts.
🤘🤘🤘🤘😁😁😁😁🤟🤟🤟🤟
Beautiful
Thank you.
Ah the eternal magic that is Star Trek!!
If i remember when gene Roddenberry asked Matt Jeffries to design his ship for his new project star trek Roddenberry said to Matt no flames and he came up with one of the most iconic star ships in pop culture history
Gene also said no Saucer and then told Matt later, yeah try a saucer...
Love it! I also love the background music, can you please say the music title?
Thank you. The music was a combination of royalty free music from the net.
Thanks for sharing Joe
Glad to do it. Happy to collect all of these different clips and photos to show accurate references. =/\=
Always wondered ,what is that dome at the bottom of the saucer ?
Lower sensor dome just like the Refit.
Best jobs in or out of the world
Okay now, as far as the nacelles. Are they clear as shown here or do they have an orange tint as displayed at the Smithsonian?
Thank you for your answer in advance.

The nacelle domes were frosted clear as I have shown in the screen captures from the Roddenberry vault. The color came from the lights on the inside of the dome and were NOT painted orange. Those that painted them during the restoration were wrong. They were not orange, or crap brown. Even in the scene from Balance of Terror, when the enterprise is playing dead, you can see that with the lights are out, the domes were frosted. There are other instances, but clearly, they are frosted and not painted.
Go to the previous video here and within 9 seconds you can see the screen capture of the dome as frosted before the lights are turned on. czcams.com/video/NEBS0cBuaK0/video.html

Thanks 🙂

Thanks 🙂
@@josephmelvin7508 cheers for that, I’ve often wondered myself, as onscreen they do indeed always have an orange tint, overall. My guess is it was a side effect of the incandescent bulbs used and how they appeared on film, so perhaps the smithsonian tint was a compromise due to the new led lighting not producing the same overall effect in person?
Nothing new here unfortunately.
What is self evident is that I've proved several people wrong within the "Modeling Community' as I have many times before. LOL! =/\= I used Roddenberry's own material to prove so called professionals wrong when it comes to many of the original details of the production version of the model. ;)=/\=
I bought the "Vault" feature. It was a dumb, repetitive cash grab that provided little new or of value...except for the parts that did THIS. This was worth every penny.
