Look again Don...

It's hard to see but the Pods are clearly there on the ST:3 model...

This is a little fuzzy, but a better angle to see the pods.

I am confused to what exactly you mean about the 'pods'. They are the forward extension to the baffles on each side (which serve as the cooling for the single warp engine, aswell as a means for the wings to contract and extend IRRC). The torpedo weaponry has always eminated from below the bride.

If you don't remember it then you haven't watched the show very often. The shoulder extensions have always been there and every model made for SFC has had them. They were even on the concept model the FX guys made before filming ST3. Also, nobody said anything about the torp launcher itself being wrong, the discussion was just about the color and appearance.

Exhibit A
Exhibit B
Exhibit C

The ones on mine are close to the original (aside from the subtleties in having to build everything by eye and lower detail) and I doubt anyone would have spent so much trouble making them if it wasn't supposed to be there. Heh, six years doing this and people still think we modeler types would miss such an obvious detail. Ah well, at least it distracts from the stuff I really missed...

And yeah, in the TMP movies there was a physical torpedo in the launcher - the cheap fx for ST5 allow you to even see it flying toward the Enterprise. I was speaking in general terms since they seem to have tossed that idea by TNG/DS9.

Like the bumper sticker on the back of that BoP that says my other ship is a C7? Yeah, you missed that one!
