Follow your dream. Keep up the good work. This Passion could lead to a great paying career in Model making. Architects need model makers to demonstrate to Clients. Hollywood is calling.

so well done m8 keep going!!! you da man!

This is truly a work of art... Mate your craftsmanship is amazing... I cannot wait to see the finished product it will be amazing and hopefully end up in a museum for all to see....

It is inspiring. The full size interior of the refit Enterprise's shuttle bay will be about 80 feet across at the front and about 93 feet long to the doors at the deck with the back opening about 40 by 20 feet high. I would recommend twin tail shuttles with fold down tails and wing tips for easy fit and the smaller ones will fit in around that. The dream chaser for instance ,... I could fit seven of them in the shuttle bay on docking ports and another 3 or 4 waiting their turn.

Amazing! 🖖

It's incredible

Shuttle

Wow!

YOU NAILED IT! Once again.

Fantastic model. I thought that sick bay was next to the transporter room in the same circular section. At least according to all of deck plans I have.

Hmm, I never gave much thought to that undercut and how it would affect deck layouts. It seems like wasted space by the designers, but we know it's there so there'd have to be a way to traverse it. It's so interesting physically seeing it!

I love this project! But Mr. T... did you actually say 1/25 scale on the final build?

Oh, also.. if given a chance I would choose to board by shuttlecraft. Just go get the complete tour, inside and out. However, I'm pretty sure I would like a chance to try the transporter too!!

I do have a couple of comments First: AMAZING, AWESOME, Out of this world!!! Secondly: your "undercut hallway leading from the outer crew quarters ring to the inner sections... I see you have steps going up and down to accommodate the curve. Would not a smooth ramp on either side be a safer more practical and possibly realistic choice? I mean we do see steps on the Enterprise : on the bridge, in engineering, in the transporter room. But steps are also a trip hazard when running to emergency response, steps make moving equipment more difficult, etc. Just an idea. Lastly a question: Are you using the information from the star trek blueprints or the Starfleet Technical Manual for your plans, or something other source? I never had the blueprints so I have no idea how complete or incomplete they are.

Shuttlecraft

Great update -- it's awesome to see how this continues humming along.

Starfleet could really have saved themselves a lot of problems by not having an undercut in the saucer. It would have been wheelchair accessible as well!

I am loving your posts. I have shared them with others I believe will appreciate them. You had me cracking up with laughter at your humour, but genuine concern for other's health, and your Tommy Cruise run!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The first time definitely the shuttlecraft. However, if I remember this correctly, wasn't there a direct connection via turbolift when in spacedock?

You know, watching these videos, I can´t help wondering if, maybe, somebody gets inspired enough from your great efforts, and actually goes ahead and tries to build this one day, out in orbit, sometime in the future. Wouldn´t that be something. Maybe someone should contact Jeff, Elon and Richard. But of course, we still need the propulsion to move it.🤔 Well maybe their grandkids then. Keep up the good work. 🙂🤠🖖

Is this based on the official blueprints?

This video is something seriously to be considered by you. Just another challenge for you to overcome, but you appear to be more than up to it! czcams.com/video/eqO-OF__Rsw/video.htmlsi=w-JbVGiVj3JPf8UE

makes you wonder just how big the Strange New World's Enterprise is, Captain pIke's quarters probably take 4 rooms of the TOS' Enterprise

like i always say just awesome work so much respect

Shuttlecraft. All day.

A shuttle fly around like in the motion picture!

This is a masterpiece in the making. Outstanding!

Are you going to be adding lights and sound to this model because it would sing with lights and sound added

Are you going to be lighting it because it really is going to sing if you add light and sound

Hi Mr. Trek, I'm in awe of your build and I appreciate your dedication to the original series look. I just wanted to add a note about the transporter room stairs. The ones you've built are definitely from FJ's Blueprints. The ones on the show are more angled. I too have built large scale set pieces from cardboard for a filming project I once did. Please don't take this wrong. It's just a note. I know how important accuracy can be and was wondering if you caught this. Otherwise you're hitting the nail on the head with everything. I'm looking forward to your next update. Mark

SHUTTLE!! Definitely via SHUTTLE! 👍🏼

By shuttle craft.

I've asked this before, "are you planning to model the landing gear (stowed or deployed) from their triangular panels?" I looked, the refitted Enterprise doesn't seem to have the landing gear (no triangular panels)?

My only comments/critic is that corridor over the the saucer undercut should be ramped at both ends instead of stairs to ease moving heavy equipment. Also crew below the rank of Ensign did not have individual quarters, according to the books and blueprints available ordinary crew quarters had two to a cabin (bunk beds) and shared a bathroom with another cabin.

Shuttle for sure

Dude, you are insane. You are doing exactly what I have been trying to do for years, building a spaceship from blueprints.

To answer your question: If I were seeing the Big E for the first time, a shuttle tour like Kirk's in TMP is the way to go. Succeeding boarding of the ship can be done by t'porters (unless you want to see the ship again. And again, ad infinitum.) 😀 The idea of the rec deck somehow under the purview of medical is spot on.

After 10:33, talking about crew members recovering in Sick Bay having a view in to the recreation area, that brings to mind a thing about medical 'Life Flight' helicopters, some years back it was discovered that orienting the patient where they could see out the helicopter windows increased patient survival.

Another awesome video! Totally agree with a multi-level sickbay with wards looking down into the rec-area. Very therapeutic. And maybe a medicine fabrication room, where any drug combination known to the Federation can be instantly molecularly synthesized via Dr. Mccoy's prescription. You can never have enough Cordrazine!

3:53 it looks like you've got a corridor next to a corridor, separated only by a red door? (Would the inward corridor meet with the circular one connected to the crew quarters). i do apologise if i'm wrong, it's a bit hard to get perspectives on everything since it's not finished.

Board by shuttle.

I would think that there would be a gym with sick bay as a means of physical therapy. I appreciate you revealing internal structural design, though my Enterprise is built for present day use in space and would not have decks laid out the same as the sci fy ship, the supports and curves are similar and the outer hull will have this same practical design, buttoned on, not welded , to allow for thermal expansion. If the time ever comes to begin it, we will need an accurate model revealing all the cutaways and transparencies possible to show tank placements around transit tubes. Good job.

for the cutouts of sickbay to the lower deck, maybe there is enough space in there to put a tree (or more?) this means that there is a tree in the recreation area for people to sit under, have a picnic, etc, and also that people in the sickbay rooms get to look at some greenery. even better if there is a light outside that simulates natural sunlight very well. maybe around the trees there are some planters with fruit growing bushes that people can pick. not because they need it as a food source, but because the activity of picking berries and eating them fresh is a good form of recreation. also i would like to enter the ship by shuttle because then i get to fly through space and see the ship from the outside in all its glory, but if i had to travel in and out of the ship regularly the transporter is better long term.

I’d like to board The Enterprise in A Shuttle

I think you should use a ramp instead of stairs.

👍👍 @Mr. Trek - I'm amazed at your enthusiasm and dedication for a TV show that debuted decades before you were born. I was in high school when Star Trek first aired and I eagerly watched every new episode of the then-brand-new futuristic series. Your detailed model gives such a revealing new perspective of the size of the gigantic starship. And today you showed just how severely undersized that Dr. McCoy's original sickbay was, staff-wise and area-wise. Anyway, keep the updates coming! 😁 BTW your get-off-your-ar$e and get some exercise advice is fantastic! I'm an ancient old guy and I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, including 2-3km brisk walks with running intervals. It's truly a fountain of youth for maintaining not just fitness levels, but mobility and balance as well! 😁😁😁

Shuttle for me, have to enjoy the view!

Excellent work very excited about this project greetings from the US keep it coming

Arrive by shuttle, depart by transporter.

You...don't get out much, do you?
