I had a grand idea of hitting one of the BIG lottery's...100's of millions, and have a full size Enterprise built as a hotel!!

this well deserves to go in an art gallery or museum once it's finished- a truly incredible work of art

Bones looking down at his feet shows amazing story telling and attention to detail. Can't wait to see the huge finished display.

I am so happy I discovered this channel a few months ago. And with each episode I get more enthusiastic to see the final result.

This project is FANTASTIC!

This has been a fascinating journey for me watching all your models to see what it would take to make it all, in the scale you are going to do! I cannot wait and wish you all the best of luck with it all!

Seeing your construction and assembly table with the cutout blueprint gives me the itch to build something grand! I love the progress and the ability to watch it as it happens! I also appreciate you pointing out moments of specific episodes as it appears in context in the plan... really gives a sense of reality. Bravo!

God bless you a whole bunch for this.🖖

I salute how you’re challenging yourself. It was a TV show, so to work this out beyond a filming set is unreal. I wonder what CBS might have in their archives?

Mmmm yes. This gives me the fizz

Now might be a good time to calculate the Livable square footage of this Beauty. Cheers!

Just the fact that you have already made great progress with materials not movie/tv grade, and still looks great! They need to hire you to do the models for the movies/shows!

I'm not commenting often, but I watch every updates you post. More impressed every time and excited to see the progress of this project. Keep up the excellent work.

Beautifully done !!! That 1/25 scale looks so good !!! But that 100th scale will be just 😮

I love these detailed updates, and seeing the project take steps closer to the final build. Can’t wait to see the next update!!

crazy stuff

Just amazing scale, beautiful.

This model process is so inspiring! I want to build one myself, even though I do NOT have the time or space to make it happen. Truly beautiful work. Live long and prosper, Mr. Trek.

outstanding

Fascinating

And to think all I wanted was the bridge as my living room and wedged shaped rooms 2/3rds of the way around.

...and some of us worry about where we'll display/showcase our 1/350th scale TOS Enterprise!! 😁🤭

Absolutely INCREDIBLE! Thank you for allowing me to join your crew. Can I have one of those fancy red shirts to wear?

I hope you plan on displaying both models in the same exhibit. Amazing work! Thanks for sharing. :)

This is absolutely brilliant mate, fair play to you. First watched original Star Trek as a kid in the 1970’s; I like the later series but TOS is always been my favourite. For them on DVD, when the missus is out for the evening I have a few pints and watch some episodes. Huge respect to you pal for your endeavour, looks amazing. All the best from Brighton

Seeing that White card reminds me of when I did my HND in Design , I think seeing the 1/32 Saucer will be Something else ..Great vid.

Fantastic! Beam me up!

Awesome!

Bloody Magnificent!!!!!!!

Awesome Build ❤ Can't wait to see it finished.

absolutely brilliant

Using better materials will really inspire you to make a more polished model. Great job.

It has been said there are some jokes in the official blueprints of the Enterprise like a DC3 airplane or something like that; It occurred to me you can place a 1/25th model car like a Ford 1934 or Kirk’s Corvette somewhere there

This is crazy. It fits well with my philosophy: Never be normal. Nobody remembers normal.

when your finally done with this, how about you build a supersize Jupiter 2, inside out, to fit all 3 floors to scale !

Love this project and love the progress - but I still do not buy the impulse engine room in the saucer section sitting RIGHT on top of the dorsal section. That always bugged me about the Joseph Franz blueprints, and makes even less sense now that I see it in 3D Talk about a choke point that could disable the ship with a single lucky shot!

Key Tower Cleveland Ohio is 947 feet tall 57 floors is exact length of US Enterprise 😁

The undercut on the 1:25 seems different to that on the 1:100 although I appreciate this may be due to one being an earlier build. Which version will you be going with for the final version?

Fantastic work as always! I always wondered if the saucer undercut is an aesthetic design choice, or if it is an absolutely neccessary aspect of the saucer shape, ie. something to do with the warp field generation. Maybe even something mundane like weight reduction when it was found that the original design of a 2 deck outer edge saucer was too front-heavy. If you had a laser cutter and 3d printer setup, I can absolutely see you having a lucrative business selling 1/100 frames and superstructures of the Enterprise to serious hobbyists who can skin, paint and finish the models according to their respective skill levels.

Man your crazy 1/25 .... but as a Trekkie myself I love it. Keep up the amazing work brother. Guess we all be watching this build for the next 10 years lol Do you have a time scale in your mind ?

where the heck are you going to put the 1/25th model scale once it's finished , seems it'll be too big to even fit in a house. also what do you expect it too weigh once it's all done

Does anybody know any structural engineers who wouldn't mind doing some probono work for exposure? Even if they're students?

Just starting to get an idea of how this is going to be when completed. Epic! Side quest: what is the building you're standing in front of when you're holding the 1:100 piece?

The cutouts on the 1/100 Saucer supports seem to be totally different than the 1/25 supports. The 1/25 seems to have 2 decks over the indentation and the 1/100 has 1. Is the 1/100 now definitive in your mind?

I don’t want to be a bummer but the 25th scale super structure doesn’t match the 100th scale one. Is that an earlier version?

👍

I just had a thought; will you have the saucer section landing pads (shaded areas) be operational? ;-)

I'm trying to get my head around this so my question is this; is the 100th scale model being built as a reference model for the 125th scale? I'm wondering why you would choose to build it twice? Amazing dedication sir!

i can get behind that doll house.

Nice work. A film studio would benefit from you set design skills.

In what country will it be displayed?

Nice to see all of this, finally, coming together! The 1/100th scale model will still be a very impressive model on its own!

As seen in numerous cutaways, there is access clear across deck 7 although not the full "standard" deck height of others. You also portrayed this design previously. Am curious why you now have the hull arc so much more pronounced that it deletes this.

Where are you intending to display this? I assume you're in north west england from the accent?

This is quite a project. Even more than when Roy Neary built a 1/100 scale model of Devil's Tower in his living room! LOL.

You did 1:100, you're working on 1:25 - will 1:6 be next? And then 1:1? ;)

I'm adding my voice to all the folks who like the small detail with McCoy looking down to make sure everything is "alright." =)

If your 1/25 version becomes a huge success would you consider making a 1/10 scale? A whopping 100 footer😂

🖖🖖🖖🖖

sure of your scaling? i used to build 1/100scale models and the pilots from cockpits would fit in a nostril, maybe 1/20th?

Who helps you build these? Why do you not mention them ? Do you build it all yourself? Who will build the big ship ? Couldn't you just design the big ship on a computer and just get on with it ? Are all of these smaller models really needed? We would all enjoy hearing more about the people and events behind the scenes.

Sorry bud. I did vector analysis for structural loading when I studied architecture but, that was 39 years ago and I'd be out of my depth with a model this complex.

So, when will you start building Enterprise D? 😁

Oh so you gave up on the bigger one, lol.

Your like most, start a project then scrap it. You destroyed that big part of the 1 25th scale build. Some of your models look good but finish one.
