I'm pretty sure it's not. ILM don't even have a model department anymore.Well when I saw the refit as a child I thought it was real!I think mainly because the special effects were using models and not CGI. I guess the new movie is going back to that so it might win me over.
The 79 episodes of TOS are actually the works of a 23 century holovid company who didn't have permission to use an old decommisioned Connie so they made a set with what little budget he had. The chronicle the life of the most famous Starfleet captain ever James T. Kirk and have been used at Starfleet academy for years as a docudrama on the mans life with some historical inaccuracies because certain information has been kept top secret. The new movie ship is what the Enterprise really looked like..
Yeah, needs some work, I think.

Ya know what it's so simple it JUST MIGHT WORK....Yeah, needs some work, I think.
Picard changed the timeline when he went back in time in "First Contact"!
That's both the easiest and the least imaginative. Can't believe I haven't heard it fifty times already.

Actually, if we just remaster the last scene of Newhart, we can show Bob Newhart and Suzanne Pleshette watching Star Trek in bed, and the whole thing would've been in their reality!
Maybe have Bob (who, thankfully, is still alive ), shoot a new angle, saying something like, "William Shatner? T.J. Hooker in space? R-r-right ... "

And I have no interest in a reboot.
And you've spent the better part of 2 days telling us all how 'uninterested' you are.

What, it is so much better to be quiet about stuff you don't like? Maybe you'd've stood by and let them pass an amendment so Bush the Second could have pretended to be prez for ANOTHER 8 years!

You do know Dubya still has time to envoke MARTIAL LAW!!!

ILM's old model shop guys (kerner optical) do tons of work for ILM, and they have been mentioned as doing work for STAR TREK in addition to most other ILM shows.
Oh, I just noticed that I wrote something that is incorrect: I did not mirror the McCoy image. I merely removed Sulu and Scotty from the background and inserted different pieces of the viewscreen (and Uhura's Starfleet delta). Who can guess where the image of Bruce Greenwood's head is from?Yeah, I'd thought at first that it was Chekov mirrored, but I spent a minute looking back and forth between your av and the original image, comparing the posture and the creases in the uniform fabric and worked out that it was McCoy, recolored and repositioned.^ Nope, it's Karl Urban's McCoy mirrored.
Nice.
Thank you, guys.
Naturally - or are you still talking about the XI Enterprise?
The first pic I saw of the refit Enterprise was in a model magazine and there, it just looked totally deformed (For one thing the the nacelles were pointed slightly downwards, and the front of the saucer section pointing somewhat upwards. When I saw that, I thought they'd butchered it, but when I saw a decent pic, that's when it became my favourite)

No, Star Trek uses CG-models (since ILM went all digital some time ago).
