The episode "A Time to Stand" needed a shot of a retreating flotilla of Starfleet vessels. To beef out the scene, the production staff built several new ships, kitbashing them out of parts from commercially available [[AMT/Ertl]]-[[Star Trek model kits]]. Amongst them was the USS ''Buckner'', which would be referred to as the USS ''Centaur'' in a later scene from "A Time to Stand", although a recent photo of the model still shows the original name. The ''Buckner'' was constructed from parts of the ''Reliant'' and ''Excelsior'' model kits. It was built by [[Adam Buckner]], who still owns the model.
