Stored away on the Paramount Pictures lot after use in The Final Frontier, one of the full scale mock-ups received a new lease of life as it was later modified to represent the Type 6 shuttlecraft in Star Trek: The Next Generation. (Star Trek Encyclopedia, 3rd ed., p. 185) Rick Sternbach recalled, "Two full size shuttles were built, IIRC, with one being reworked for TNG. Chopped about six feet out of the middle, got new pods, and some side windows. Both of the original set pieces were weather damaged, but the one we used on TNG was, of course, the less trashed. Exposure to the elements has taken its toll on a number of pieces stored outside over the years; the TMP travel pod was totally trashed by the time we got to the studio for TNG." [2](X)

[2](X) The second full-scale mock-up eventually also received a refurbishment in the form of added weathering, updated signage and added cockpit side windows to represent the Hawking, slated for use in Star Trek Generations in a scene where Jean-Luc Picard is picked up near the end of the film. The scene however, was not used for the theatrical release. (Star Trek Generations (Special Edition) DVD, disc 2, deleted scenes–special) The mock-up was retained for a while by the studio as it was stored on the back lot of Paramount Pictures for several years. At the beginning of 1998 it was very briefly considered for use as an USS Enterprise-E shuttlecraft cockpit in the upcoming feature Star Trek: Insurrection, but due to years of neglect the mock-up had deteriorated considerably and was deemed unfit for use, and the producers decided to go for a redressed Danube-class cockpit set instead. (Star Trek: Action!, p. 234) Ironically, the mock-up was refurbished later that year for inclusion as a tour exhibit, re-dressed as the Hawking, albeit non accessible for the public, appearing in the 1998-1999 Star Trek World Tour, but has not been sighted since, having been most likely struck.
