Don't think we didn't notice that this video is 17:01 long

Your excitement for this project is absolutely infectious! Never think you're being selfish or self-centered. I, for one, thoroughly enjoy this project and anxiously await the end product. I'm sure many of your subscribers agree! Keep going. This is true art in real time! Thank you!

If ever they build a Star Trek Park, the escape slide should be the first ride.

Incredible… Also impressive to see how quick you work… 😮

11:36 I can only imagine how strong the sense of "actually being ON the Enterprise" in your position there, because with how much is actually even conveyed way over here merely watching your videos on a flat screen.

Your work is INCREDIBLE! And I've never seen such detail in a starship model of ANY size, but my question is this....WTH are you going to do with the finished product??? You're gonna need an aircraft hangar just to store it....but you are doing one HELL OF A JOB! I can't wait to see that! Good luck and keep up the great work!

Very cool ideas. I think the seating around the garden should face towards the garden to allow crews to relax, and enjoy the garden, rather than staring out into the inky black void of space. LOL. Thanks for sharing. :)

Mr. Trek - when this build is done, you need to have this scanned and photographed so that it can be used as a real/digital set for some CIG/Stop Motion style 1/100th scale TOS goodness.

Escape slide is a must! Great modification to the wiring channel!

Referencing UFO just made this series even cooler - and I love the idea of Andersonian tubes on the Enterprise!

One of the best things on KZfaq. Insane, the dedication, skill level and detail. How on earth did you learn such skills with cardboard is beyond me. Another level of dedication.

Awesome, being born later I was never into Star Trek TOS but your dedication and emphasis on the beauty of the simplicity showed me to appreciate the whole series and especially the ships design so thank you for your work!

I totally get your excitement! It’s crazy awesome to hammer out/sculpt/cut something you are passionate about. As it comes together, happy mistakes and all, you want to show it off cause it’s SO COOL!!! Your Enterprise is SO COOL!!! Congratulations on the subscription numbers! I got stoked when I reached 36!🤣🤣🤣✌️🤘🇨🇦

Dawn dude...impressed doesn't even begin to describe my reaction. Bravo!

The escape slide is a neat idea.

Even your 1:100 scale builds are exceedingly well designed and thought out. Bravo sir!

Your models look like a movie set 👍

Bro, it might be a good idea to spend one day ever few weeks going round trying to get a feel for exhibiting spaces. Doing deals with places that would mutually benefit from such an exhibit. Just to get that final destination sorted, if you haven't already.

It Would be interesting and exciting to see a Multi Level space in the dorsal. It will break up, what could otherwise be a monotone environment. It would make me say Wow!

Mr. Trek, "...when I'm working on it I'm actually on the Enterprise! I mean look at this...", same is applicable to this viewer, "I'm actually on the Enterprise!" Brilliant work Mr. Trek. Thank you!

You must have such a well of patience, along with incredible skill...looks amazing!!

I have just been awe’d and amazed at what you have been able to accomplish and create for this entire starship build project! Outstanding work, creativity and imagination on your own singular vision for really trying to make the interior of this ship feel real and logical! Any place you can place energency personnel slides into your starship interior design, I am totally and completely with you on that idea. You would need to figure out how to get someone to decelerate down such very long multilevel slides to prevent serious injuries, though. Some of the standard machinery “Jefferies” style maintainance tubes could be converted to multilevel emergency personnel slides, as well! I have no issues with such an idea.

Fantastic! You build this stuff more quickly than I even finish *planning* a project, it's maddening! :D Can't wait for the final project!

That escape Shute could have a load of the coloured balls that folks land on in the things that folks jump on to and you then go flying in the air and then! Land in a section with coloured balls that they sink into! Could you recreate that in your section of this please! 😜

I still think that a metal structure of the turbolift system may give you the mechanical strength you need to support the weight of all the decks without it all collapsing! Luckily the turbolifts go everywhere

This is like watching a proper documentary

I really like the idea of those multi level spaces within this area, on ocean going craft one will often find machinery of indeterminate function crammed into unexpected places, so that detail lends further verisimilitude to the whole, and perhaps those stairs could access a hatchway leading to another gangway over further engineering elements, or the ships badminton court, I don't know that this vulnerable area should need a briefing room but nice design on it nonetheless, another poster mentioned possibly including one of those vertical ladders that we sometimes saw and this seems like a good idea for such a restricted space, in addition to tying your project directly to a little used part of the original ship that all would recognize, your imagination is on full display in this build, great work

Loved your rendition of the UFO theme song! I loved that show, and at the time there wasn't much other sci-fi on TV (well aside from the TOS re-runs, of course!). Your idea of an escape chute is hilarious, however, one would be travelling down 8 (?) decks, it would be like taking a slide off of an 8 story building, it would be scary and you would really be moving by the time you got to the secondary hull. There would need to be some kind of sandbags or safe landing platform for anyone using this form of escape. And if multiple people took it, they would pile up on each other at the bottom. It's a really fun idea, just unsure about how safe it would be? Keep up the great work, love your imagination and enthusiasm!

I’m waiting for the1:1 scale!! That will be awesome!!

Excellent work!

It is really interesting how you recreate the various areas, the hallways, the consoles and stairs. All of it is great and there is no question as to your talent in creating all of this. My only question is, where the heck are you going to display this whole thing once it is built? Let alone where will it be stored or housed? Best of luck and continued success.

Absolutely amazing! My hat is off to you! I would never have the patience and drive to build something like this!

Absolutely amazing.

Love the idea of an excape slide.

Seeing the scale there, and if you aren’t tied to any deck plans those dorsal decks would make awesome VIP suites, and conference centre, galley etc, with excellent views from those windows. 8)

Oh man, I love this so much. Even in just cardboard and paper, it really makes me feel like it's a 'real' ship! Strangely, there's just something so tangible seeing this model that a hyper-detailed computer generated model just doesn't convey. And I actually really like the idea of putting more non-essential spaces (conference rooms, etc,) in the dorsal section along with connective utility conduits/passages/shafts,. with the idea that you have the engineering section and saucer section focusing on the more critical functionality (especially if the saucer should ever become separated). And now with you creatively exploring how a 2-deck tall space might be like at the base there...just wonderful! Bravo!

You could have some kind of coupling and or dampening facility in those huge rooms that limit vibrations transferring between the two hulls. Also your slide is a nice idea. You could even have one in the front with inverted gravity. So to slide up from the secondary to the primary hull.

I think what's being made here is a museum piece. Perhaps something that could be displayed in the NASA flight museum? It is so beyond the average model.

Looking great can't wait to see it all for real..Keep up the great work..

I would imagine there would be more machinery and moving parts

UFO had some spectacular wall instrumentation.

This is so cool seeing how much bigger the 1:25 scale model is compared to the 1:100 especially seeing how colossal the final model is going to be. I love the idea of the large open space, I thought maybe the large grey item was something to do with the saucer separation like a landing foot or boarding ramp. I love the escape chute although I’d be terrified to use it myself. I will say though I hope you keep the windows the same as the original ship. I like the reasoning behind the changes but it’s just not the enterprise.

I highly recommend that you get a cheap LED laser engraver cutter, like five or ten watts to cut multiple patterns in great detail from cardboard to decorate the ship and make it more recognizable. If you have to cut all those thousands of parts with an exacto knife or a razor blade. It's a joy to build your own projects to explore a ship you have never been on and making new things no one knows about. I too am designing a ship, at full scale and although it cannot be made exactly like the movie Enterprise but it can be functional and recognizable as the enterprise . I need a model builder to help with my project and was thinking about asking Adam Savage to work on it in the future.

Fantastic what you .make i feel like a trekky

So fantastic ❤

Your progress looks great!

Yeah i too think its infectious and fascinating the camera work and the proudness ur aura pulsates is very soothing and interesting .....buddy ur voice to model making is what sir Attenborough is to nature so enthusiastic and real .......been watching since day one cant wait too see the 1:25 scale finished and in the flesh.......top man be good keep goin

A second turbo-shaft might make sense in that massive area - traffic to and from, but also backup turbolifts in waiting in that area. The dosal could be a good turbolift exchange and storage area - a hub, if you will. Plus .... you can add strength to the model (that saucer is front heavy).

No. Build a stairway along the back of the dorsal connector. It would be challenging and truly bring a sense of scale because everyone can relate to that.

Id love to see this with a saucer section base on top, not the whole saucer of course, just to see how much bigger it can get!

phenomenal work!

Absolutely loving every minute of these videos! And I remember that UFO show, those moonbase women were hot! I know this isn't canon, but here's an idea to expand on your multi-level compartment in the dorsal. What if during year 4 of the Enterprise's mission, Kirk and Scotty have a photon torpedo launcher installed at the rear base of the dorsal to cover the crucial lack of rearward weapons fire arc. It would be installed during a routine maintenance docking at a starbase, according to Scotty's design and supervision. Starfleet likes this idea so much they later expand on it which results in the larger dual launcher compartment at the base of the dorsal on all of the refit Constitutions.

Incredible ❤❤

Exciting to see it coming along

10:55 "SshhHHK."

How about that long conference room in the dorsal having rows of seating, say 6-8 seats wide, so an entire ship's section (biosciences, astrophysics, medical, security, tactical, etc.) could hold a meeting, with a lectern at the head in front of the viewscreen for presentations? I like the slide idea! Reminds me of the gantry escape slide the real astronauts use in case a rocket is about to explode on the launch pad!

Love this!

Amazing work! One thing about the ladder(s) in the dorsal, would they not be more like those vertical "tube" ladders we see the crew occasionally climb out of into the hallways? They would at least be more space efficient for the narrow confines of the dorsal sections :)

Such detail! Please tell us how you made the Saarinen Tulip Chairs. You might finance your project by offering these and other scale components.

Since you invoked the slides for UFO. You can have an emergency pole lift, like on the old 1960s Batman TV series.

I agree 100%. The Constitution for her time was very powerful. As for the dorsal, quite frankly, it is open for interpretation really. I'm almost positive there is no "cannon" sources for what would be there and whatever you decide on will be perfect I'm sure. That being said, I am glad you deleted the mini-lifts and incorporated an actual turbo-shaft connecting the saucer to the engineering hull 👍 Perhaps along the leading edge of the dorsal could be the "Jeffrey's Tube" with emergency stairs.

HOW can 6k watch and so few at least LIKE 🥺😑😳 GREAT PROGRESS 🖖🏼

It would be fantastic if that amazing, looking machine, somehow connected to main engineering directly above, particularly the dilithium spheres maybe some opaque tubing with lighting inside? Also when talking about escape, what about top to bottom Steps all the way down the front of the dorsal section like a Jefferies tube. Great work by the way

My knee jerk reaction to a slide was that it was silly. I mean, that's a LONG way down.... But then I realized... Grav plating could have some sort of ability to be adjusted to slow the descent to something safe. Just a wee turbolift sans the lift... I think I'm enjoying this dorsal section build the most. It really requires the most creativity in making it presentable.

would the people who use the escape slide end up with broken legs or would there be a net to catch them at the bottom?

Hi mr trek I love the idea of energencey chutes to the secondey hull how about a magazi ne of escape pods waiting to be jettisoned?.😮 Regards

Incredibly amazing gorgeous work! Just curious, what's your day job?

I ❤️ the UFO TV show! Great idea for emergency chutes to evacuate the neck....and since they have artificial gravity, it could be used to slow the descent just before impacting the upper deck of seconndary hull!

Another great update. Your dorsal tour though got me wondering what approach you were planning for emergency saucer separation. Split at the saucer and dorsal, split middle of the dorsal, or split at the dorsal and secondary hull?

I always thought that the dorsel section was part of the secondary hull. I could be wrong, that's what I'm asking.

At the end of the emergency chute ,there should be an escape capsule or lifeboat.

Happy Easter treckers and treckies. I don't know how you identify lol😂that 10 floor slide would need to land in a splash pool to stop crew from breaking legs and we all know somebody who would slide headfirst and die.

not a big fan of ANY of the new movies but I do like the idea people get sucked out when theres a hull breech, more real

The 'chute' idea is nice except, what do you do when the gravity plating is deactivated? Also, are you planning on adding the horizontal turbo lift shaft above deck 8?

I am enjoying this build very much. I can't believe the speed in which you are building these pieces from week to week. Very impressive. A question about the impulse engine deck though. I see you are referencing the FJ prints for some ideas. Is your final build going to have that particular engineering deck as shown in this update for the impulse engine room and then a similar room in the secondary hull which has also been called the engineering deck. The curved wall above the red grating reflects the secondary hull's curved engineering hull ceiling. The tubes behind the red screen were part of the warp engine reaction chamber heating unit, according to one source. The impulse engines have a different interior look to them according to a cut-away picture of the Enterprise that I have. This is just a notation. My personal belief is that the Engineering deck shown in the series is the one in the secondary hull. I could be wrong, though. This is your build, however, and you should do whatever treks your mood. I'm not trying to take that away from you. You have some awesome ideas for the different decks and that escape slide is pretty awesome. You did ask for comments and thoughts. One more note about your observation platforms that surround the saucer section for your final build. Instead of allowing a catwalk above the back end of the saucer, I would suggest you do it over the front end, instead. Seeing how close you may be putting that crossover walk to both of the Nacells gave me the feeling of "not such A good idea" only because it is human nature for people to touch things that are not made to be touched. The first thing I thought of when I saw that idea was all of the scratches, gum and stickers that people might put on those engine domes from touching the collectors. I can see the amount of TLC you are putting into this project and I would hate to see even one scratch on anything that you've built, especially on something this size. Keep up the great work, Mr. Trek! I can't wait to see your next update. Mark

The only thing I would like to see is more of the structure. I imagined the dorsal section being very rigid with heavy structure and lots more utility and engineering sections. Lots of large conduits and such. Big braces making the corridors even more narrow. I picture lots of ladders between decks and maybe only one turbo lift access point. But I don't know. I'm an engineer and tend to think like one. You are doing a wonderful job and I am definitely a fan.

awesome work as always any way you feel this might come to the U.S

Just seen your latest video on the Enterprise truly amazing fantastic job you should be working for the people who make the models for the film's

OMG

It's a model of a model of a model

So, were going to have two engineering rooms, one for impulse drive and the other one for warp?

The escape shoots would be just be Jeffrey's tubes without the hand rails so it extremely plausible.

How about the slide goes straight to the bowling alley 🤔

Since gravity is artificial anyway, they could flip a switch and go up the slide. The inertial dampers would catch them safely either way. In fact, there could be a running track on a "wall" surface, like in "2001 ".

what if on the other side there is a slide going up into the saucer? they use artificial gravity anyway, so they could just make an inverted slide that slides upwards

doesn't seem like the layout included enough structural support?

I'm anxious to see more machinery, tubes, ducts, GNDN things in some parts of ship. To me, it looks to much empty. A space ship should have more mechanical things, specially in a important part as dorsal structure. That's my thoughts.

Idea! Rent any location Put all models built so far on display and accept donations at the door. This will raise money and public awareness of your project. It will also lay a smooth path to your goal of a 50 ft ship.

Yes, it would be neat but the dorsal section of the Constitution-class Heavy Cruiser is too narrow to allow this. Compartment that takes up multiple levels would compromise the structural integrity of that section. On dorsal deck 8, you really need to bring the turbolift shaft forward by means of a horizontal shaft. A crewman is capable of stepping on the turbolift on the bridge and travel all the way to deck 24 without having to change to another turbolift. I realize that this is your interpretation of the Constitution-class but us true Trekkies would rather you stick to the established deck plans that exist of this ship.

This is Mad when he pulled back on the smaller Model , I thought what was behind it was part of his House..its Bloody huge..
