Because the initial description of the ship described its landing capability, four small hatches on the ventral hull were included on both the ship miniature and model. However the legs that were to emerge from those hatches had not yet been designed by "The 37's". In the allowed by the design of the ship, Rick Sternbach had difficulty designing "an articulated set of legs and footpads" that would fold out and support some of the ship's . Shots of the unfolding "landing struts" were CGI because motorized versions were not installed in the physical model; visual effects producer Dan Curry later said that installing such motorized elements in the model was impossible due to the size. For filming the landed "Voyager", miniature feet were made; however, because the producers felt the feet looked inappropriately sized for the rest of the ship, they were partially obscured by landscape in post-production.
