RED ALERT Lost 3 ft TOS Enterprise found????

[joberg]

Any news on this?

It's in the hands of attorneys...could be months/year before we'll know anything.

The date of the photos and the author are recorded in that collection at UC Riverside. (Fun fact: there are pics of Forry Ackerman, Poul Anderson, Bradbury, Bloch, Philip K. Dick, Pohl, Silverberg, Greg Bear in there.) Also of interest: the collection contains pics from the 1966 TriCon where Roddenberry sent some costumes to appear in a galactic fashion show. If memory serves, that convention preceded the first air date in September. I'm looking forward to looking through his collection.


Yep, I noticed that also after looking at a number of pics. Perhaps taken for promotional purposes -- cheaper and easier to put the 33" baby on some black velvet and photograph for studio materials -- maybe around the time that Shatner was photographed.

Re: Model in Star Trek costume, Tricon — Calisphere
The photos with the model wearing the "Andrea the Android" costume were taken at the World Science Fiction Convention, 1–5 September 1966.
Here is another photo related to #17.
I read somewhere that the guy in the Romulan costume is ...
Gene Roddenberry.

Yep, that's definitely him.

Let’s see…getting “handsy” with a scantily clad model…

…yeah, that’s Gene alright.

It looks like there are other models from the movie series now available:

This is being called a 6 foot Enterprise-A

But I thought Bezos had this.

Phase II

Set blueprint exchange

They built more for those few bridge shots than they did for Relics. lol. Nice!

Okay, the PHASE II model looks to be the Planet Hollywood model (or one just like it), which was built from the original Brick Price molds, then modified and detailed to more closely resemble the TMP model.

But what the heck is this 6-foot 1701-A display model? When was it built, and why? Just for Mr. Jein’s own enjoyment? Some kind of studio promotional piece?

Could the 6 foot one have been used in Star Trek VI as an additional model or something?

 

[edge10]

My wild guess is that the extra Refit, may have been built for Star Trek: the Experience, in Las Vegas.

I'm pretty sure Greg's company built some other ships for that.

Wow

description says the 1701-A was for Planet Hollywood. Doesn't say what the Phase II model was made for.

This stamp of authenticity is proof that this is the real deal.

Susan Sackett was the last person confirmed to have seen the original model. She might be the only one who can confirm whether or not this is the genuine article.

Woah…I think that’s it…

The stand is correct and the size is correct.

Also, the decals are a match to the surviving 11-footer decals.

Didn’t this model go “missing” after Roddenberry lent it out to a licensee? If so, someone should probably contact Rod Roddenberry and let him know about the sale.

It looks like it has been stored somewhere in which water has damaged the model and the stand.

I think that Rod already knows about this.

 

[MJTiber1991]

And it's GONE! This listing was ended by the seller on Tue, Oct 31 at 8:48 PM because the item is no longer available

That’s because Rod Roddenberry stopped the auction before it could happen. I believe he plans to acquire the model himself.

 

[MJTiber1991]

Boy if this were to auction? Red Leader X-wing just went for 3 million.
I could see this in that range.

Unlike the X-wing, this model is NOT for sale.

Not to sound like a jerk, but…

Dude..catch up on the thread before dropping the commentary.

All of this has already been covered within the thread.

Sorry. But does anyone know what its current status is?

Trail has gone cold following Rod’s last public comments on the topic.

Radio silence.

That’s damn peculiar. You would think that someone would know what’s currently happening with it.
