I hope the contrast isn't so low on the aired episodes as it is in the pictures. The vivid green planet looks way cooler in this comparison.

This was sacrilege in my opinion, as the model never had this appearance in any of the shoots.

I still remember an old comic strip based on this episode, from the "mutiny" scene. "You're all standing in line to see Star Wars? That's mutiny, mister!" "I guess it is."

I have photos of the Enterprise taken during that era. I can assure you that the rust ring was there as well as weathering on the nacelles, etc. I also have photos of the ship taken to document it's condition, before it was painted, as it was disassembled for that restoration. During the Smithsonian restoration Ed Marecki wasn't allowed to touch the paint on top of the saucer section to maintain it's originality. And as we've all seen, the rest of the ship is over-weathered and over painted as it certainly never was during the series. It needs a new restoration to return it to it's original condition. #30 Matt, the rust ring was there, I believe during the second season. I have photos of the Enterprise taken during that era.

That ring seems to show up sometime after the 1974 restoration, the pictures of the 1984 restoration on IDIC aren\'t clear enough to determine if someone got a little artsy on the saucer section.</p> There are many pictures of the Enterprise available, like those from startrekhistory.com which clearly show no rust ring.

So the rust ring is original to the model, as I understand it. Poor Ed Miarecki gets a lot of flake for his restoration. But he never touched the top of the saucer. re: 30- Matt, what I understand is that the Smithsonian never allowed the top of the saucer to be altered, only repaired.
