A studio shot from the period of the second pilot I believe showing the large Enterprise on a stand in front of the blue screen. Two technicians are visible, one clearly without a shirt. I have read that the studio was quite hot, particularly under the lights. Also visible in the shot is the end of the camera dolly rails and the blue painted stand.
Going through my own Trek tag. This is still one of my favourite things I’ve made.

10 Things You Probably Didn’t Know About Star Trek: The Next Generation
The original series bible (which is a fascinating read), also says Picard and Riker have a “father-son relationship,” and Picard often pretends to think France is “the only true civilization on Earth.” Also, the phrase “fully functional” is underlined when discussing Data. And Tasha Yar is obsessed with Wesley Crusher, who’s her “beau ideal” and the childhood friend she never had. Also, Picard “cannot help noticing that Beverly Crusher’s natural walk resembles that of a striptease queen.”
In early brainstorming, the producers wanted Deanna Troi to have three breasts, just like that woman in Total Recall. But producer D.C. Fontana objected — she told Entertainment Weekly, “I objected to Troi having three breasts. I felt women have enough trouble with two. And how are you going to line them up? Vertically, horizontally, or what? I was like, please, don’t go there. And they didn’t, fortunately.” Also, at one point early on, Gene Roddenberry wanted to make Wesley Crusher a girl named Lesley. And Tasha Yar was originaly a tough Latina named Macha Hernandez, based on Vasquez from Aliens.
I loved those episodes in TOS where everyone was clinging onto something as shit went down.
…I just like drawing them in TOS clothing :U♥My responses to this drawing in order:
1) Chekov, you minx.
2) LOL MCCOY I LOVE YOU.
3) SPOCK, I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE.
4) Scotty has the right idea.
SPOCK: This is not a competition, Doctor. Whether you understand it or not, grant me my own kind of dignity.
MCCOY: Vulcan dignity? How can I grant you what I don’t understand?
SPOCK: Then employ one of your own superstitions. Wish me luck.
[They stare at each other for a while, then Spock leaves. The doors close.]
MCCOY: Good luck, Spock.
