Mass: 14139.6
LxWxH = 307x73x142
Power:1996590 (1165490.5 e/s)
Thrust 19632.7
Shields 285355 (6652 s/sec) Recovery: 3.0


Although it was OK for the production values and budget of the original television series, the original Enterprise would have seemed underwhelming on the big screen.  To bring the old girl into her new medium in "The Motion Picture", she underwent a "refit" that seems to be nothing short of a frame-up rebuild.  At very least the entire secondary hull, warp nacelles, and the bridge module of the primary hull were entirely replaced.  It's not common knowledge, but separating the saucer section was not a new trick for the enterprise D.  The original enterprise had the capability as an emergency measure.  I suspect the new secondary hull and nacelles were built separately, then the original primary hull could have been separated and attached to the new structure, making this technically the same ship even if 60% of her mass had been replaced.


Near the end of "Star Trek III: the search for Spock", the original Enterprise was destroyed.  For most of the fourth movie the crew gets by on an "acquired" Klingon bird of prey.  At the end of that movie, the Enterprise is replaced by a re-named U.S.S Yorktown, and re-designated NCC-1701-A.   This model will serve to represent either ship, or any of their sisters in the class.

  • Full 1:1 scale based on the diagrams and schematics from the original designers. 
  • Not just a hull, this ship is powered, armed, shielded and ready to fly. 
  • Interior spaces have decks and hallways. Most rooms are left for you to define 
  • Detailed modeling of the bridge, main engineering and shuttle bay. 
  • The shuttle bay has a working bay door, which can be opened  from a remote at the front of the docking bay via docking beam. This allows a shuttle pilot to operate the doors without having to face them.
  • Unfinished basement. Plenty of room in the secondary hull for more rooms, shields, or armaments 
  • Ship comes with 2 shuttles
  • Plenty of turret mount points (turrets not included)
  • four AM cannon Arrays.
  • two BB Missile arrays
  • two salvage arrays.
  • gravity conrols near every airlock.
  • Fiction consistent engineering.  For a science fiction program Star Trek created an amazingly detailed speculative technology.  This ship models that.  Antideuterium is drawn from containment bottles in the bottom of the ship through an intermix chamber in main engineering where it is combined with stored deuterium atoms.  The resulting high energy plasma stream is then channeled  and split via magnetic containment conduits and fed to the warp nacelles to energize the coils.   Wherever possible I have built structures to model this system based on the diagrams set designs used for the ship in the movies.

    1. The control block is in the middle/center of the saucer section. Enter through the side saucer section airlocks and you will have a straight hallway leading right to it.
