Well, he does sell them, but they are handmade by him. I'm not sure, but I think he is heavily tied into the Hollywood prop/CGI circles.

I've just started working on the Refit Enterprise from the Motion Picture. Going to take Me a least until June if I want to get the lights right.

logical, that looks extremely well detailed for a tv show or movie with the way they can make a scale model look huge and real

behinds the scenes from starwars, they were all just little props

I'm not sure this is a prop or a sale. I was surprised by some of the print lines I could still see on the primary hull. He claimed to have filled and sanded, but just not enough. lol

Well, I'll be in crew quarters if you need me. Or the lounge area below holo-deck 13.

Here's a video list of sci-fi ships by size.............

The E was supposed to be a combination of dreadnought battleship and galaxy cruising explorer.

That looks like a physical model based loosely on the theoretical (never screen used) F version enterprise, thus a 'G' type.

It had a lot of design flaws that a few years ago, I redrew to correct. I still like the original Jeffries version best. I have several hundred dollars tied up in making a 'balls-to-the-wall' no compromise 3-foot photographic model, but it will be a bastard to do to the level I wish if I ever get started on it.

Yes. When he showed the images, I believe he said that this was a fan art concept of the Enterprise G.

I personally think they need to drop the letter designation and retire the 1701. That is a Constitution Class registration, and we've moved well beyond that class.

Well, it is rather hard to be technically consistent and so detailed over a 60 year period. Yes, the Constitution Class was considered a Heavy Cruiser, but the heavy cruiser seems to have disappeared. I'm sure they are keeping the 1701 designation because they fear changing the name and number and offending fans, so, it is just an updated version or a new class version of the Good Ol' Enterprise even though every ship from the B on were different class starships.

What I never got was why the Enterprise D never ran into any C class starships (I think that was Ambassador Class). I mean, I'm sure they must have made more than just the one lost fighting the Romulans shown in the one episode! So why is every ship the Enterprise D runs into on TNG always either a B or a D?

Not only did the original series give us tons of offshoot stories to go with, so did STNG.

But instead of taking ANY of these great storylines and offshooting into a different section of Star Trek.......they keep hashing out the same shit.

There's plenty of ST I wont even bother with, because I'm SOOOOO freeking tired of the same goddamned thing over and over and over again.

Personally, I want to see a whole new design of a hybrid exploration/war ship, with transporters that transport in less that 2 seconds, transporter screens that screen out ANY and ALL mutations, infections, or any other maladies from personnel being transported, and slipstrem technology, along with being able to "cloak" themselves.
I also want to see the shuttlecrafts not only to be able to protect themselves on their own, but be able to go under water and into boiling lava.

And I want to see this all in a big ass war between the Borg and Species 8472, who are trying to establish dominance over our sectors of this universe.

But no. **** that. Lets just go back and forth and back and forth with the same old rehashed crap.

Ambassador class, yep. And it was that ONLY episode, which I can't recall the title to right now to save my life. lol

I can get a copy of the Ambassador class and I may purchase it.

Well, if they did that, it would lose the chronological consistency that Roddenberry wanted. Personally, I never watch DS9. I've only caught 1-2 episodes that I thought held my attention. I just never liked the Ferengi nor the Cardassians. Enterprise and Voyager each had about a dozen episodes that I thought were very good.

I like that slipstream technology.

Some of the suggestions would just be technologically non-feasible and require a lot of explaining. The Federation agreed not to develop cloaking technology to keep peace with Romulus. In the one TNG episode, they did reveal that phased-cloak technology, which they banned.

Some of your suggestions would narrow the available story lines as well as increase cost of production. I've studied television writing and one precept is you need to keep your audience able to relate to the show--- place it too far in the future or make things too advanced and folks have trouble relating. That is why they still use recognizable buttons, refer to "tape" drives and such.

I really liked Species 8472 and wish they had developed/used them more. Better opponent than the Borg. The Borg was totally lost, completely transformed from the original concept, and very much watered down in the process.
