  • The final season of Star Trek Picard introduced fans to a new USS Enterprise NCC-1701-G, and we learn the history of this Constitution III class vessel from its co-designer Bill Krause! At this year's WonderFest scale modeling convention, Bill (aka AdmiralBuck) exhibits two of his original starship builds: the USS Excalibur and new USS Enterprise. We learn about his design and build process and get up close to the details of the Federation's latest flagship!

Of course the actual models themselves are fantastic as well, but the lights are just that final thing that brings it to life. Usually, I'll look at a model and be disappointed at how fake it looks compared to when it's onscreen -- no such issues here at all. Incredible.

    Incredible work. I’ve collected as many renditions of the Enterprise as I could get my hands on over the decades. Most the larger scale I own are from Playmates Toys. I do have one Enterprise purchased about 1978-79 that the various parts can be placed here or there to build different ships.
    I never found a larger scale Enterprise-C. Just what Micro Machines released in the 1990s.
    I’d love to add this Enterprise-G to my collection if it becomes available.
    But Enterprise (mine is a kit from the 1960s), Enterprise-refit (a kit from the 1980s), Enterprise-A, Enterprise-B (and Excelsior), Enterprise-C (micro machines), Enterprise-D, Enterprise-E, Voyager. And Enterprise from the new time line.
