It had mounting points for support.
Trim and detail pieces were actually different or non-existent on the left side (as compared to the right).
Ah.

As usual, I chose my words poorly, and did a wonderful job of obfuscating what I meant...

What I meant was this model was not restored for the purpose of filming, not to its original appearance (wires and whatnot coming out of the left side).

No worries, mate!

In my head, I was Shakespeare. My actual words... Mushmouth.

Here's a link to an article some of my colleagues wrote, with the color information about the studio model of Enterprise, including colorimetry readings and commercially-available matching (or closely matching) paint chips:

Fascinating...

(I know it's cheesy, but entirely appropriate in this context!)

Thanks for sharing, Ann!

I had a look at the commercial paint chip that most closely matches the gray-green today, and it's reeeeeally close. Dave says the colorimeter plus his experienced eye provided the "slightly more this, a little less that" info. I love our colorimeter and using the LAB color measuring system -- they are easy to use and help with quantifying the "it needs a little more blue" kinds of problems.

There's a YT video with Dr. Margaret Weitekamp, discussing the Restoration effort:
