Description

Star Trek: First Contact — Enterprise NCC-1701-E
Midibuild + cast
————————————————

"The Porsche of Starships"
So I've made the Enterprise D (twice) and my popular Enterprise F, so I thought, why not tackle the E. After all, Star Trek: First Contact is my favourite trek film.

I did consider making this a tiny build like my polybag series, but as I built it, I realised it begged to be made in midi size. Not quite as large as my Voyager/Enterprise F, but still full of detail and elegance. The main deflector became my touchstone piece, and the rest was scaled to this.

This ship is a beautiful entry into the Enterprise ship roster. Sleeker than the D, with callbacks to classic designs combined with dark, ultra modern 'next-next generation' aesthetics.

Elements in the design...

• BUSSARD COLLECTOR ASSEMBLY


• BUSSARD COLLECTOR DUMP-VENTS


• PHONIC DUMP-VENTS


• BOUNDARY RESTORATION INITIATOR ASSEMBLY


• REACTION CONTROL THRUSTERS (ACS)


• SHUTTLEBAY DOORS


• AFT FANTAIL


• SECONDARY HULL


• PRIMARY HULL


• DEFENSIVE SHIELD GRID


• TRACTOR BEAM EMITTER ASSEMBLY


• NAVIGATION DEFLECTOR ASSEMBLY


• CARGO LOADING HATCHES


• CAPTAIN'S GIG/YACHT


• MAIN BRIDGE MODULE


• COMMAND SECTION


• VIP SECTION


• AFT TORPEDO LAUNCHER ASSEMBLY


• SHUTTLEBAY ONE


• IMPULSE ENGINES


• IMPULSE MAINTENANCE PANELS


• WARP CORE EJECTION HATCH


• SIDE PRIMARY HULL VIEWPORTS

Apocrypha and concept drawings by the designer show that the saucer separates, so of course I've included this as a play feature. All in all, I think this is as accurate as you can get in this size and uses a tonne of modern snot techniques and tricks that I've learned along the way to make it a fun/engaging build.

Microfig Crew:
Now, onto the crew of the Enterprise-E, portrayed as block-built microfigs, and some film specific extras. From left to right, we have:

• Doctor Beverly Crusher


• Lieutenant Worf, Son of Mogh, House of Martok, Son of Sergei, House of Rozhenko, Bane of the Duras Family, Slayer of Gowron


• Counsellor Deanna Troi


• Captain Jean-Luc Picard


• Commander William Riker


• Lieutenant Commander Data


• Lieutenant Geordi La Forge


• Lily Sloane


• Zefram Cochrane

There's also a couple of extras in the build that I think bring the model closer to... perfection...

The size is approx:
28(l) x 5(h) x 10cm(w)

I hope you guys like it as much as I enjoyed building it.
