That stretch of video showing the front to back rotation in the effects studio is awesome, never seen it before. Thanks.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned the lights in the bussard collectors for the full series model. It was a nice change from the boring single color front caps. Had to have been a pain to add since they had to thread the wiring through the nacelle struts. Worth it.

Not to mention the original caps were machined out of solid wood. That's why you never saw the left (port) side after that. that's where all the wiring was trunked out of.

Version 3 had lower profile bridge and window removed. The main dish was also made a bit smaller.

There's one detail you seem to have missed: after the second pilot the deflector dish was downsized considerably.

But then, of course, I could (almost) hear Captain Jean-Luc Picard saying "this is YOUR Enterprise". Live long and Prosper.

AND of course after the Cage they added the internal model lighting, however unless i am mistaken in vers 2 is not the larger bridge dome still in evidence ?

The behind the scenes raw footage of the Enterprise being filmed is really fascinating since it seems there were a lot of shots that never made it into any episodes. From the look of one shot they probably got a little too ambitious with the camera moves and couldn't properly sync and match the movement of the ship with stars and planets given the existing technology and no true motion control for about another decade. It's actually funny watching those guys hiding under the Enterprise and turning cranks to rotate it. I'm surprised some KZreadr hasn't taken this footage and completed it yet.

The only thing i don't prefer in the final version of the model is the back of the nacelles. Thoe big balls that stick out always looked weird to me. I think the vents from WNMHGB looked better.

Thank You so much for posting this. I find it fascinating to see the USS Enterprise Model on a gimble in front of a blue screen! Once on a trip to DC with my Uncle, we spied one of the original models (probably#3) in a storage room at the Smithsonian and it was badly in need of restoration.

Bussard Collectors became illuminated and had a rig inside to rotate the lights. The Bridge changed again, becoming the least tall version, better matching the lower profile of the larger section above the main saucer top (containing Sick Bay and all that). The main sensor dish in the 3rd version was also MUCH smaller, making the first two look sort of silly or awkward. There were also some details on the warp units that are minor but still visible. However, the ends of the "caps" on the nacelles behind the Bussard Collectors were *very* different between 1 and 2 versus the 3rd iteration. Much more detail was added. Good video. Thanks for doing this comparison.

22 seconds in, three footer model with modifications to mimic production version. 4:17, three footer with 2nd pilot details, 4:37 three footer with production version details, 4:47 three footer with production details, shot used in View Master "Omega Glory".

Nice video. There are a couple more things, though. 1. The bottom of the primary hull directly below the bridge was changed after The Cage. It is more pronounced. 2. The deflector dish changed after WNMHGB. 3. During the series, the lights in the Bussard collectors changed at least twice. One version just had lights that blinked. And if I'm not mistaken, they had 2 versions of the spinners. BTW, good model work.

If you want to win a SF Convention bar bet, a "Connie" in real naval jargon is the USS Constellation, as the still commissioned frigate USS Constitution is "Old Ironsides". Here's another. In TOS on broadcast film 1966-69 The USS Enterprise is a "Starship Class" ship built in San Francisco Yards. It says so on the bridge builders plaque seen near the bridge turbolift in almost every episode. Constitution Class was a creation of the AMT model instructions and later included in the Starfleet Technical Manual after the series ended. It helped push merchandise and multiple model sales to collectors which profited Norway Corp owned by "Mr No Money in the future", cocktail communist Gene Roddenberry.

You missed quite a lot! The look of the nacelle intercooler pairs on top ends of the nacelles. On the Cage and Where No Man versions, they were just tubes with no inside panel structure. Same goes for the internal details and panels on the inboard sides of the nacelles. On thr Cage and Where No Man versions, there is a severe lack of detail and no vent details on the inside of the nacelle pylons. The deflector dish was shrunk in the regular series versions and extra detail was added to low front middle of the lower hull.

Darth Decius Know about those newfangled shower doors that can be frosted, patterened or clear? The same type thing for the viewscreen which is a section of the bulkhead that is duranium alloy using a similar process for transparent aluminum. It can be opaque or transparent( when activated). In opaque mode, we have seen it as a computer display or a video display with such things as tactical or communication or views from multiple angles from the ships' cameras or just at rest and the bare bulkhead. When activated. it becomes just as like a window. In fact it even looks like a window,even from the exterior and has two way observational ability as in one episode the ship is miniaturized and shown to Kirk and he looks into the bridge and sees the crew frozen in place. In other eps, a scope raises from the nav console that the navigator can look thru for magnified viewing or other tactical information on that viewer. Unfortunately, as seen in many cases, in order to see out,it must be powered and outside forces interfere with it and make it go to a staticy mess, so you can't treat it just like it is a window

I kept expecting a cobra to appear.

Nice video but you failed to note that the deflector dish at the front of the secondary hull was larger on both pilot versions and made smaller for the production version ( 3rd) version of ship.😀

Overall very good, thank you. However you didn't mention the smaller bridge profile and the saucer size is decreased in the final version. Also I notice on your hand held model the dome over the hanger bay is green. I believe this is white in the show. It's supposed to be an observation dome for tractor beam control to drag stuff into the hangar.

Great point!

Is the TOS bridge crooked? Assuming the bump on the back of it on the outside is the turbo lift, and knowing were the lift is inside the bridge, then the bridge would not face forward, but would face on an angle to port.

Correct, the geometry doesn't really fit. I assume they didn't want to have the turbolift door directly behind the captain's chair?

@@TrekkieChannel When they built the bridge set for "The Cage" , they put the elevator directly behind the captain's chair. Alas, once they started filming, they found issues with that location. It was shifted (I don't recall if this was done for "Where No Man Has Gone Before" or not) to one side to be more cinematic, but that caused an issue between the set and the model (which had long been built by then). I think they kind of hoped nobody would notice.

The cage version was also used in season 2 I think or at least in the remastered version

Is that Apollo's hand at 4:00?

When he grabbed the Enterprise with his hand at 4:00 and near the end he stole that idea from the episode that had the god Apollo in it.

The U.S.S. Constellation was actually an AMT model of the U.S.S. Enterprise that was intentionally messed up to look like damage. You can really tell in the original footage when it's heading for the Planet Killer. This is also why the Constellation's NCC code is what it is; they were using the numbers from the kit in a different order (though I think they should have used 1710 instead of 1017).

Chad Castagana They’re still called nacelles. Bussard collectors are the front part of the nacelle. That’s what the video is referring to.

@@christalbot2101017 bugged me, too; but reportedly they were told to use a lower number than 1701, leaving few options with the standard decal sheet. (It's actually the later fanon assignment of 1700 to the Constitution that causes the problem (and the retcon to make Enterprise Constitution class).

The bridge of the ship is a really good target. I would rather be sitting in one of the nacelles trying to maneuver the ship.
