      Man, Kirk and Company must've been having a helluva intergalactic kegger!! Never let Sulu drive when he's had too much Saurian brandy!

            Is that the real Enterprise refit/Enterprise A model?

                It can't be the real one because I remember it being auction off a few years ago for A LOT of dough with a ton of other Star Trek stuff ... The auction was even televised.

                This is most likely a scratch built garage model.

                    I know the main Enterprise model from TMP was still being used by Star Trek VI, because ILM complained the folks who did V had really screwed it up.

                        Man, somebody needs to tell Admiral Nogura the refit is going to take some time to complete.

                          I would have lost my mind if I came across that. I think I'll start looking around in alleys on the back streets of Boston
                          daytime of course, never know what you'll find.

                            Maybe you might find the original Boston UFO guitar spaceship

                              My guess is that the model is probably a replica for display use somewhere. From what I'm reading it likely came out of King's Park in Cincinnati, OH and made its way over to PA.

                              Here is a pic of that one:
                              EntModel.jpg

                              Someone probably primed it up to do a proper repaint and lost interest. Not quite an original prop but a cool find nevertheless.


                              Stranger things have happened though: Star Wars Death Star saved from certain DESTRUCTION!!!
                              If I had only spent a tenth of the time studying Physics that I spent learning Star Wars and Baseball trivia, I would have won the Nobel Prize.
