The finest most elegant design of any starship ever! I love the artdeco radiator grils in front of the warp engines and the cadillac fins at their end!

I have to admit that when I first saw the scenes where Kirk first lays eyes on her in the shuttle pod and when she launches after her refit i actually teared up. I'm a fan all they say back to the TOS series and IMO the refit is the most beautiful and sexy out of all 6 ships. ☺

@@Daedalus1701 Me too :-) The old NC 1701 refit with its cadillac fin tailed warp nacelles is my lady, I also love the 1970s style interiour design, the large crew meeting hall inside has some of the elegant looks of the 1960s made UNO congress building hall in New York ;-)

I must agree my friend. Have you seen "Spock's Jellyfish," it's BAD ASS too.

it's arguable, of course, cuz there's plenty of competition, but i wouldn't argue it. if you were to ask a random person on the street to name a sci-fi ship they're probably going to say the enterprise or the mill. falcon, and that's likely to be highly depending on which franchise has something going on at the time. both are ingrained into our subconscious.

Too bad you couldn't automate the doors to open and close.

@@donbrynelsen2157 hopefully in the next model!

Are the title sound effects from the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game?

@@donbrynelsen2157 that would be cool.

I am an Enterprise D man myself.

Yes, it most certainly is!

Ahhh... a man of good taste :D

This is the classic Deville of the Starship Enterprise. The prettiest version... I like them all but there's something about the original after refit and the Enterprise A.. 😍

@@charles-slimthugga-darden8568Aye laddie, every lady has her charms 😊

I wonder is there a museum like the Smithsonian for handmade models? I would put this in for sure. But I am old enough to remember the beautiful hand made aircraft manufacturer models that were seen in offices, throughout the military services, and airlines offices. I think most of them were similar to the wooden models you see coming out of the Philippines today.

The Smithsonian just completed painstaking restoration of the HUGE stage model and has it's VERY own corner highlighting it!!!!!

@@redstone51 no way!! that's amazing news

I almost welled up because of your comment in agreement my friend.

"Aye. That she is!"

Agreed, that automated motion picture startup sequence was incredible as well as the torpedo firing sequence with the flash.

@@HauntedCorpseGaming I was enjoying it but then the startup sequence took it to The Next Level. I saw the film in the theater and that startup brought back warm memories of when it first came out for home viewing and I would watch the film multiple times. Just the thing to make me happy in these sad days of CBS making me angry for disrespecting the fans by foisting ST: Duhscovery and ST: Pretendcard upon us.

I have to start on my I have two models to finish

@@pauld6967 I had the same reaction.

It would take me forever to do a job like that. Thank you.

It's actually from Search for Spock

The music in the first part is from Wrath of Khan, James Horner. The second half is the Jerry Goldsmith score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Horner soundtrack, in my never to be humble opinion, is better than the ST:TMP soundtrack. Horner has come it to his own quite well as a classical composer. He's often heard on the classical stations. Goldsmith is a great composer of soundtracks as well. He also did Patton, original Planet of the Apes franchise, Barnaby Jones theme, ST: The final Frontier, ST: Voyager, Insurrection, among many others.

Even today that scene still holds up as a majestic spectacle

95% of that movie is pretty much just taken up with panning shots of the Enterprise, so it's a pretty perfect track for this.

The music in the first part is actually “Prologue and Main Title” from Star Trek 3. It also by Horner and incorporates many elements from “Enterprise Clears Moorings” from Wrath of Khan.

I remember when the first movie was released. I saw it 12 times in the theatre with different friends and family members. Now it seems like a boring movie but back then it was breathtaking. Wrath of Kahn was so much better. Thanks for sharing.

+Jason Ware Would you mind sharing the code on your homepage?

Goodnight Jason Ware, you could share the code? Or where can the code? thank you

Hi Jason, the end video shows two enterprises, out of interest which is the 1:350 scale and what's the others scale.

Hello Jason, before anything paraveniza want it the excellent model built... It was beautiful. I have this model in 1/350 scale, I'd like to light my model with all details like yours. You said your compliação was all done in arduino, could provide this code and the lighting scheme? You have found the code on the internet or even you did? Congratulations for the work... It was perfect... Att.

I think the one you made from scratch yourself is better than this one. In other words your own design is better than the production model of an entire company!

Holy shit, it's Az! Yeah dude I want one of these so bad.

sooo true!

not gonna happen

keep dreaming

lol, well, that would be a sight to see, but i think in real-life the design isn't very practical.

LOL

Yep

Bol

TOOTHPICKS

But now there are 191 dislikes?! How!?

I guess bones was right Steve. I grew up in the 60's and i remember her with round nacelles. When i saw "Star Trek the motion picture" in the theater that simple thing lost something for me. I understand most fans now just know the flat nacelles, their a lot younger than me.

It does lose something, Paul. The Enterprise refit, to me, is more realistic, but that's no a better thing. For instance, the original Enterprise could have episodes with Apollo the God, or trouble with Tribbles. The refit seems more stark, militaristic. More Patrick O'Brien. I like the dream aspect of the original ship, almost like an angel flying. That said, we had plenty of military in the original series (Balancw of Terror, Enterprise Incident, etc) To me, its 2 aspects of the same idea. I love both, both fulfill their roles for me.

Balance of terror we are more alike then different. My favorite episode. I could have called you friend.

+Waltham1892 ah, don't go that far, lol. just remember these things are plastic, paint, and lights. pretty damn fancy lights, granted, but these are all skill sets (aside from programming the lights) that are learn-able. :)

ryan barker Yeah, its all learnable. They said that when started dancing ballet. To just think of all the money I wasted buying pink tu-tu's.

Waltham1892 you should have put lights in them....

Something to aim for.

@@Waltham1892 The huge Enterprise Refit is beyond anything I could ever realize, much less have room to display for. There is nothing wrong with simpler builds like the Polar Lights 1/1000 snap kits.

Not to mention the new Enterprise does NOT have the class of the Refit at all. I wish they brought her back.

While I agree with you... they did spend 2 movies blowing the shit out of the Enterprise ;)

I love, I mean LOOOOVE, when they blow the ship up! It's beautiful and much more exciting than another stock flyby shot.

Where is the link for your website dude....

In the video... (5:53)... dude...

Jason Ware the larger model. Is that NCC 1701 A, that you built from scratch? Just out if curiosity, has Paramount given you any feedback on either model? And one more thing; is the larger model in a museum? If it isn't, it should be!

Beautiful

Very nice

REALLY ENJOYED THE VIDEO............THANX!!!

I don't feel so bad now. I did, too. I love this ships so much it's almost not right... And it's been so long since we've seen good Trek that hearing the music made me emotional.

hahahahaha

Same! This is my all time favorite star trek ship. Such an amazing ship. I actually built it full scale in minecraft so I can walk around it and feel important hahaha

NoChoke if there is anything I may do to help please contact me .

NO Choke, I am a Vet as well and I would be happy to help you, get the kit and all the bells and get set up as well! Gus

I hope your son is doing okay now, I know it's been 2 years. There are a lot of modelling videos on KZfaq I'd suggest, chief among them being PLASMO - plastic models. Some others include ChrisAndAlexModeling, qdc748a, Doogs' Models, Luke Towan, AlexModeling, Interstellar Modeler, Trekyards, Andy's Hobby Headquarters, Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic, Genessis Models, marklinofsweden and of course, Paul Budzik, who is the Bob Ross of modeling. Not all of their videos are relevant, but they each have their own tips and techniques that will help you and your son, especially Paul Budzik's. Some essential tools are Squadron sanding sticks, Flex-i-File for rounded fuselages and the like, as well as Squadron putty, Tamiya liquid surface primer (to seal the holes in the Squadron putty after it dries), as well as a range of automotive sandpapers up to 3000 grit. I hope this helps...

NoChoke ok give us an update it's been 2: yrs

+bitukukuasukgremany3 Probably _Next Generation_ fans.

right

I'd like to know too.

I think I found it. It's on this KZfaq channel. His other model is 6ft.

"....and she'll always bring ya home" ;)
