TOS 1701 Part of TNS RagTag Fleet

Check it out: http://members.aol.com/Bonaventure1845/Mini_TOS1701.jpg


I was doing ScreenCaps to send to StarshipBuilder.com - and anyone else who might want them, just shoot me an email! - and noticed that at the closing of the Miniseries, there were two Colonial Movers ships in the RTF when we get our first glimpse of Galactica w/the RTF.  So, I got curious to see what all was out there lurking w/in the confines of the RTF and noticed the above.   I used Adobe Photo Deluxe Business Edition 1.0 that I picked up some years ago to first crop a section that looked sort of like a TOS Constitution, then enlarge it and play around w/the hue & contrast a bit.  What I got was the above image. 


Wonder what else those folks at Zoic Studios thru in to the background of the RTF?  We got to see Serenity from "Firefly" in the Miniseries as it comes in for a landing in the scene where Roslin learns she's got breast cancer.  Think there's another Firefly-class transport lurking in the RTF?  :)

Not surprised. They like to have those in jokes.

Hey cool.  I knew about Serenity but certainly did not notice this one.  Can you post the unprocessed version of the frame so we can see how "hidden" it was?

Well, I can do the next best thing - borrow someone elses image!  One of the fella's at Starship Modeler's Forums posted this image in his FreePhoto account, which appears to be the exact same frame I took mine from: http://www.freephoto-i.net/displayimage.php?album=525&pos=163


Upper right-hand cornor.  You can also see that there are two Colonial Movers in that frame.  First CM is in the foreground while the second is "below" Galactica's port flight pod (tho would technically be "behind" and far to starboard).



It's now verified by one of the guys from Zoic Studios in this thread at StarshipBuilder.com.  Guy's name is Lee Stringer and he says in that post that, not only are there some other ships in the RTF that we don't normally see, but that he's been waiting over two years for someone to catch that!  I'm pretty chuffed right now, lemmetellya!  


Yeah... I'm a geek....  


 I thought I'd seen it on the DVD set that Coby burned for me back in February, but wasn't really sure.  I figured at that time that it was just an artifact of the copy and was seeing a mis-perceived image (or however that should be properly worded).  My greatest fear when I posted this thread was that someone'd pop up and say "You're just now seein' this?  We've known about that for a while now!"

That's one of the questions that crossed my mind too.  Someone goes to the effort of puttng these ships in and then 2+ years later no one has noticed them.  And you where the first.  Congratulations.

I guess it's time to find out what else is there.
