I have two sets of images - those are from the 11 foot TOS E : 2 ft. 7 in. × 11 ft. 3 1/2 in. × 5 ft. are the given dimensions for that. The photos are pre restoration so let us say these photos are 35mm snaps from the 1980s. Great reference. I have quite a few of those. I also am resurrecting my stash of 33" TOS E snaps for this project : The flatter unweathered saucer is one of the biggest differences between models. Both were used for filming. The small one was used for the intro "whoosh" fly bys.

I'm going to ask my buddy to make the base and connector block for the gooseneck support. If he can do it, that's what I would like to see hold up the model.

I gotta go on Craigs List to see if anyone is dumping an old gooseneck lamp or hit up IKEA.

I'll definitely be looking forward to a build thread on that Bruce! These are perfect reference shots bud.

Thanks so much, Silverado! I'm so used to thinking of you as Mustang, but I'll do my best not to mix up monikers, fingers and toes crossed. I pulled some old plans, too : I have the kit out to photograph over the weekend. The original white plastic like a piece of tupperware!

I'll be up early in the mornings over the weekend looking for those photos Bruce.

The Butcher Bird is in my model storage vault (my buddy Bryan’s man cave) in Utah. Never far from my mind.
