USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) Consititution Class Midi Scale — Star Trek: The Original Series

Matt Jefferies’ original design for the Constitution-class Enterprise is one of the most recognisable starships ever created. Balanced, minimal, and forward-looking, it embodied the bold optimism of Starfleet’s early deep-space efforts: built for diplomacy, discovery, and the occasional well-placed photon torpedo.

I kept that clarity and purpose in mind when designing this LEGO model. Working to a £70 average part budget, I aimed to capture the ship’s classic profile and distinctive proportions while still making it a fun, solid, and feature-rich build. It’s scaled to match my other Starfleet models and feels just right in the hand. Strong enough to swoosh, clean enough to display.

Key features include:

• Clean saucer shaping with dual dome contouring


• Curved secondary hull with sculpted deflector neck


• Angled pylons and nacelle mounts for that signature silhouette


• Hangar deck and shuttle bay doors


• Bridge playset featuring:


• The main viewscreen


• Captain Kirk’s chair


• Dual helm/nav console


• A full stud-scaled crew is included: Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, Chekov.

Engineering and detail elements packed into the model include:

• Bussard Collectors


• Field Shaping Coils


• Particle Venting Assemblies


• Control Reactors


• Post-Stage Flux Intercoolers


• Intake Field Generators


• Post-Stage Flux Tuners


• Space Matrix Restoration Coils


• Mag-Flow Shielding Cowls


• Upper Main Scanner Array


• Main Bridge Module


• Planetary Scanner Array


• Accelerator Magnetic Coils


• Impulse Engine Assembly


• Main Deflector Dish


• Antimatter Fill Port Hatch


• Shield Emitter Grid

This model measures approximately:
40cm (l) x 20cm (w) x 14cm (h) off stand
39cm (l) x 20cm (w) x 27cm (h) on stand

Like Voyager and the Enterprises D, E and F, this Constitution-class build is the result of everything I’ve learned about LEGO starship design—structurally solid, full of details, and just plain fun to pick up and play with. I’m thrilled with how it came together and hope it brings you the same joy to build and display.

“Second star to the right... and straight on till morning.”
