USS Voyager (NCC-74656) Midi Scale — Star Trek: Voyager/Picard/Lower Decks

The USS Voyager is a ship unlike any other in Star Trek lore. Flung 70,000 light years from home, it braved the depths of the Delta Quadrant, tackled the Borg in their own backyard, and somehow kept its crew together for a seven-year journey back to Earth. Whether you're a die-hard fan of Janeway and her intrepid crew, or just appreciate a damn good starship design, Voyager has earned its legendary status.



Rick Sternbach’s design for the Intrepid-class Voyager balanced sleekness with a sense of cutting-edge Starfleet tech. With its variable-geometry nacelles, landing capabilities, and compact, almost organic form, it was a clear departure from the Galaxy-class flagships of the previous generation—purpose-built for exploration, adaptability, and speed.

I’ve kept those values in mind when designing this model, limiting myself to a £100 budget while packing in as many features and playable elements as possible. You can save a little money by forgoing the printed bridge parts, but I think they're worth it :) This LEGO build captures the spirit and detail of the Intrepid-class starship, with key features including:

• Articulating nacelles, complete with pivoting assemblies


• Landing struts, attachable for surface missions


• Detachable Aero Shuttle, hidden beneath the hull and released usinf the warp core piece via a concealed port (just beneath Tom Paris, of course)


• Bridge playset, featuring:
  
  
  
  • The main viewscreen
  
  
  • Ops, Tactical, and Conn stations
  
  
  • Master systems display
  
  
  • Captain Janeway and Chakotay's chairs
  
  
  • Full stud-scaled crew: Janeway, Chakotay, Tuvok, Paris, Torres, Kim, Seven of Nine, The Doctor, and Neelix
  
  
  
  


• Main Engineering, complete with ejectable warp core

I’ve also included as many Voyager elements as possible:

• Main Navigational Deflector


• Auxiliary Navigational Deflector


• Impulse Engines


• Phaser Arrays


• Aft Torpedo Launchers


• RCS Thrusters


• Main Bridge Module


• Upper and Lower Sensor Arrays


• Viewing and Observation Ports


• Hover Landing Pad Hatches


• Bussard Collectors


• Engine Intercoolers


• Transporter Emitters


• Defensive Shield Grids


• EVA Hatch


• Cargo Loading Hatches


• Warp Core Ejection System


• Power Core Ejection Port (where the stand attatches)

This model measures approximately:
34cm (l) x 13cm (w) x 7cm (h) off stand
34cm (l) x 13cm (w) x 22cm (h) on stand

Just like the Enterprise E, this Voyager model represents everything I’ve learned about designing LEGO starships: super strong and extremely fun to swoosh, detailed enough for display, and packed with features to surprise and delight. I hope you enjoy building it as much as I did designing it, I am over the moon about how it's come together and love playing with it. After all, in the words of Captain Janeway herself…

There’s coffee in that nebula.
