In some of the classic footage, you see the Enterprise almost painfully white, a look I rather liked.
I wonder if any of you ever did some tests with a paint mixed with scotch-lite used in highway signs.
decals with no solid background, say zip-a-tone, may allow a washed out look from afar.
Something else I'm thinking about. Instead of having physical objects spin behind moving parts--I wonder if there is a way to have a hemispherical smart phone screen--with just enough memory to display a pattern--no lights, bits of mirror, etc.

I think the lighting and maybe the film type might have changed at some point...I seem to remember reading that some where.......that could be the reason for the color difference.
I assume your talking about the lighted nacelles ? the only part that moves in that part is the inner hemisphere, everything was Christmas lights.

it's been a few months, ive moved from my old place, finally got shop set up to where I can work on things again.
first the lower sensor
once I added the half rounds, primed and finished it off, it was time to silicone, and then made a resin copy.
then I made the clear dome. this has been molded with hydrostone to make a negative that can be used for vacuforming.
this is a shot of the first scrapping
the second scrapping comes out clearer
after adding the tube to the rear, priming and sanding, it was off to molding
this is the bridge on the old lower section, I will make a new one, this will be vacuformed
