LOL, yeah, well, I can see Shaw's point. No-tilty-the-heavy-model.All I can see is blurred noise.
Zim, this because of YOU!
My FuglyPrise now resides in the closet:
Not worthy to be with the rest of my fleet:

LOL, I love how Turboman is holding the saucer.
I don't get it. Why do you waste money on something you don't like?
Yo Zim!!! Sweet! Where did you get the cutaway one?? Do you know if it's still available?? My Son would be THRILLED!!!
And, uh, I'd not mind havin' it around here too much...
My Son 'accepts' the AbramsPrise, and he'll watch the movie pretty closely if I put it on (His favourtite parts are with Spock Prime), but he says TOS is the best Trek, way better than the movies, and the Original E is the best Constitution class design ever...
Anyway, thanks. I gotta show this to Sonisall.

Watch the video. I said the only reason I got that ship is because my son wanted it.

I got that particular one from a friend who was cleaning out her attic. They're still on Ebay for anywhere from $10 to about $75 bucks. I put that one together straight out of the box. But I plan to get another one soon and put a lot more detail into it and possibly use Doug Drexler's schematics to detail the interior.
Ah okay, sadly I have no sound where I am right now.

My Son & I just made a shuttlecraft in proportion to my Art Asylum/Diamond Select Enterprise. It's approximately 1/4 inch in length. He fashioned it, I 'edited' it with an Exacto knife & painted it.
But it's too small to letter "Galileo" on it.
Any suggestions?
ETA: I'd include a picture, but with my cheap camera, I'm afraid it would end up looking like a dot.

It's Iron Man.

That's pretty cool. But I have no idea how you would letter something that small. BTW, I have that same Superman Animated Series 12" action figure that's lying down behind your Abramsprise. I also have the Batman figure. I think they were Target specials from the Justice League series? Can't remember.
I can't really believe that photo worked, through a magnifying glass and all...
Still fuzzy.
Back to the question of whether the original design, with tweaks, might have worked on the big screen and been 'kewl' enough for today's audiences' expectations, I pimp Vektor's beautiful work:

He and deg3D (http://trekbbs.com/showthread.php?t=56599) have both done some awesome work that remain true to the original, while also taking full advantage of what today's technology can facilitate to make the design more realistic. The general consensus is that their work present the original design as it "always was, but in much sharper focus'
.
I'm firmly in the camp that there has never been a supported reason that the original design, tweaked as they have, could not be just as effective on the big screen in 2010 (well, 2009, I guess).

Right there with ya! I'm a HUGE fan of Deg and Vektor's work and have given props to them both on multiple occasions. Just looking at their work makes me wonder why the frak they hired Ryan Church to mangle the Enterprise. Either of these designs would have worked perfectly well on a movie screen and would have looked a million times better than the Fuglyprise. In my opinion of course.
Indeed.
I too am an admirer of the original 1701. I have models of all the incarnations of the Enterprise, but this is the only one I never grow tired of looking at. As others have noted, there are no bad angles from which to view it. Truth be told, I don't care for the TMP version all that much. The swept back struts and thin, flat engines really bother me. Though I would consider the rest of the refit to be an improvement with the added detailing on the hull, the beefed up neck between hulls and the addition of the twin torpedo launchers. With a few tweaks, I too feel that the original would have held up just fine on the big screen. As for Church's design, while I don't rabidly hate it, I was dissappointed with it.
