For some of us interested in details of the Enterprise this will make your mouth water. Also pay particular note at 0:58 and 4:55 marks where you'll see very detailed drawings of the ship. One can only hope these will one day be released and shared publically. I'd buy them in a heartbeat.

That's beautiful. Thanks for sharing.

 

[TheSubCommander]

That was awesome! Nice find!

I'd love to see the TMP Enterprise find a home right next to it at the Smithsonian some day, and see it restored too!

 

[HarryM]

Wow, nice video! I love to see the old girl treated so well...

I wonder if the new Star Trek Discovery series might feature the model in a scene where someone visits the Starfleet museum and sees the ship out of a window. They could always explain that while it is not the real NCC-1701, but another Constitution class ship, it was renamed for the museum to show.

That's one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen in my whole life.

Check 5:35... look on the table in the background? Is that another engineering hull there? What is that, a practice mockup? I'm going to guess yes. I think it might be the same thing we see... at 1:18. Where the bottom engineering hull markings looked like they were going on top!

I mean, that must be it, right?

Looks that way to me. Better to "practice on scrap" than to mess up the real thing.

 

[F. King Daniel]

That was quite stirring.

 

[Q2UnME]

That was quite stirring.

That is a bit of an understatement, in my opinion. Brought a tear to 'me eye....

As a modeler currently building my own "Big E", the close ups and other detail pictures are a God send and a wealth of information for those of us who are trying to do justice to our own builds..

[Long Syntax]

loved it. It's hard to believe that this model has been a part of my life since 3rd grade. I hope it remains on display for many more generations.

Those are Gary Kerr's drawings, created to display restoration notes, right?

Yes

Great video.

So much work to finally get the right restoration.

I think it was a lot of work the last time too.

I believe I read that was created by ILM for paint testing.

That is awesome

What I was able to salvage from the video.



Hopefully these drawings could be available someday although having even just this might help some modelers and blueprinters in terms of accuracy.

So cool! I recently went down to DC to see the Enterprise at the Smithsonian. Such a surreal, amazing experience. They did a great job.
