The USS Enterprise model was huge. The working model now sits in the Smithsonian restored to its original glory.

Eleven and a half feet. There was also a 3 foot filming model that only recently resurfaced. It was returned to Eugene Roddenberry.

Blue screen and before that black screen was used in film to drop out the back ground. While video green screen is more common today, but blue screen still works with video especially for shots with a dark space background. I have done all three, blue and green screen with video and back in the ‘60s when I was a teenager, I would film white title letters on a black background and then open my 8mm film camera in a totally dark room and turn the film back by hand then re-shoot the film in daylight making the white letters appear superimposed over the scene. The black background acted like unexposed film.

Saw it in the Smithsonian. The model was between 3 to 4 feet in length.

Fun fact: I saw my ST lunch (elementary school) box on display also. Thermos and all.
