Olympic Class (USS Pasteur) studio model - reference photos

Here are my color corrections of the Olympic Class studio model photos. The photos were originally taken by Bill George, who designed and built the miniature in his own time, before offering it up for use in the final episode of The Next Generation, “All Good Things”. The design pays homage to Matt Jefferies’ concept art for the Daedalus class from the 22nd century. The photos feature George’s original name for the ship, the USS Olympic, before it was renamed into USS Pasteur to better reflect its use in the episode as a medical vessel. You can also see the Starfleet emblem from TNG on the spaceship. In the final episode, it was replaced with the Starfleet medical symbol. The color corrections are minimal. The photos were a bit overdriven.

The size of the Enterprise-E ARGO Shuttle

The shuttlecraft ARGO - seen in Star Trek Nemesis - was designed by artist John Eaves. Eaves classified the Argo as a heavy transport shuttle. It includes a buggy for planetary ground missions.

For my calculation I used the real size of the ARGO buggy. According to blueprint, the car is 5.33 m (17.5 feet) long.

Taking into account the size of the loading hatch, this results in a length of 20.04 m for the ARGO. In addition, this length allows a cockpit height of 2m.
