I keep mentioning this channel and build in the comments of Adam Savage tested channel in the hope that some of his millions of subscribers pop over to here.
Please remember to include the "GNDN" pipes. I feel it wouldn't be complete without the production quirks from the show. This is simply unbelievably awesome!
MR TREK! THIS CORIGATED CARDBOARD?! MODEL -PERFECTLY SCALED! THIS DESERVES TO BE HUNG IN THE -SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM‼️‼️😃👍👍👍 YOU ARE INCREDIBLY TALENTED!! AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A LABOR OF LOVE!!! BRAVO!! BRAVO‼️‼️🖖🖖
This is insanely BEAUTIFUL! I thought I was the only person who loves to build HUGE sci-fi models! Continue the magnificent work my friend! Once completed it needs to belong in a museum! Live long and prosper! 👍
I've made hundreds of model kits, developed techniques for hiding seams, repairing molds, improving windows and glass, and thought myself pretty darned good. I feel like someone who barely knows how to walk watching someone fly. This is, by far, the most incredible build I've seen! I can't support financially, but I do have a new 3D printer and am willing to donate crew members, props, and wall sections!
I just LOVE how you have reimagined deck 1-2 with that maint corridor and stairs. People are going to whinge about it, but who cares, you have made the whole design feel more realistic with your creativity.
It just keeps getting more and more jaw-dropping. I'm struggling to find the right words here, but bear with me - before this, the show was the show, what we saw is what happened. Now, for me, there's the beginnings of some context in which I can see (for example) characters walking along a corridor on screen, and I can actually picture in my mind's eye, the scale of the ship around them - and imagine a much richer, much more vivid picture of what's not shown. Maybe for some people they could already picture this clearly in their heads, but for me, this model has helped cement a new appreciation for the ship. And it's not even halfway built yet! Amazing work.
This is still so awesome. I love how the bridge and all the interiors of the test models are coming along, those stairs are beautiful. I did notice a few mistakes. The bridge module had an extra deck that was meant to be in the saucer and the saucer is way too short when you look at the thickness of the saucer and the size of the bridge module.
I saw it that way too . Might be that egg shaped bubble deck under the bridge only . Its at 9:50 . Too big a bump thing on top . Cardboard and tape crew to bubbke bump deck 5 . Report for recon. I think the main saucer you dropped to half the scale of the bridge
I thought so at first glance, too, but I think he's actually doing it correctly, based on these: www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/stb-rescan/5.jpg
I wish i lived in the U.K.. I would be honored to help finish building the Enterprise! ❤🖖! Praying someone will step up and offer a climate controlled building!!❤🖖
When he is done within 8 months is its not put in a Museum or some other protective facility id be shocked. This is a straight up masterpiece....... so far. Dont let me down man. I have a very strong feeling you wont...
I'm amazed that cardboard actually held as long as it did, in all that wind, and outside humidity. That thing is huge, and it's just one cutaway slice! Thanks. :)
I can't wait to see how this project progresses I'm R2 builder myself but I'm a huge trekky. Live long and prosper I look forward to your next installment
You're an amazing modeler,just as amazing as this creation of yours. I hope that when finalize that a suitable museum would display it as proudly as its builder. It deserves to be seen by many.
With my work schedule and “the algorithm” I catch these as I can. Your work is great, insightful, and inspiring to trekkers, trekkies, and modelers. Thanks
I’ve just stumbled across this, it’s an amazing project. For some reason I’ve always been fascinated by the scale and layout of the Enterprise, and this model is one of the best and most tangible demonstrations of that.
Look Mavis, there's that man in the courtyard again. What's he got there? I think it's a really big bird bath. Thats nice. The things some people will do for our feathered friends.
MAN!!!!!!!!!!!!YOU MUST BE CRAZY!!!! REAL GROUNDS FOR DIVORCE!!! I REALLY LOVE IT!! This has to be the MOST "star trekkie" project I have ever seen! The Brits ALWAYS come thru!!! We will be following this fantastic project.!!
15:34 It's amazing , especially the staircase and I admire you for making the video in the heavy wind that day! I'm looking forward to see the next step.
You are a true visionary. There might be room for a walkway right behind the main screen to allow a crewmember to pass over the ladders below. This would make it possible to walk entirely around the perimeter of the bridge maintenance space without have to reenter the bridge itself and walk in front to the viewscreen. Might be a head bump area for someone coming up the ladder, so it needs to be tested with one of your figures standing on the treads of the ladder.
I have a similar screen to you and I just love seeing your RUclips on full screen, as I do not need glasses! I am just Loveling the detail you are putting into this and the proper work on the actual model! I honestly cannot wait! Bravo! P.S! I just learnt to take a fullsize screenshot of the clip when it is on the full size screen!
Love what you're doing! btw I'm fairly confident the "teardrop" as you call it should only include decks 2 and 3, while deck 4 ought to be wider out into the sort of main bulge on top of the saucer along with deck 5.
Yes. You are absolutely correct. The whole bridge-superstructure is way to big (high) at this point. I thought it looked way off in the video, and I hope he can correct that mistake.
I think he's actually doing it correctly. It looks odd at the moment, but here are some blueprints: www.cygnus-x1.net/links/lcars/blueprints/stb-rescan/5.jpg
The teardrop should probably only be about 1.5 decks high, honestly. The Franz Joseph blueprints are pretty inaccurate in most every shape and dimension. The ship is going to turn out looking very wonky following those plans.
Im unnaturally excited to see how you do the saucer lower decks. The weapons and weapons control spaces are pretty much a mystery and theres room to be creative.
It's a treasure, what a labor of love. I do wonder if the temperature and humidity changes will shorten its life however, the more uniform its environment, the longer it'll survive, and its survival is important!
I think the large open area with the big columns would make a great church for weddings, funerals, commendations, court martials / inquiries and of course sports. Also stellar cartography needs a large room, later the holodeck or some sort of a precursor of it. Anyways great video, keep it up. John S.
Just found your channel and am blown away by the detail of the model. Once finished it belongs in a museum or some great venue. Fabulous work beyond anything I have seen.
OH DUDE, THIS IS MASSIVELY EXCELLENT!!!! I HAVE JUST JOINED YOUR CHANNEL, TO BE ABLE TO WATCH YOUR PROGRESS. I CANT WAIT TO SEE THE FINAL CONSTRUCTION!!!! THIS IS LIKE A DREAM COME TRUE FOR ALL TREK ENTHUSIASTS!!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼✅
I don’t even know what to say. I went to school for this and wow amazing the level of detail in attention to designing and constructing while keeping the design integrity of the original blueprint. I get nothing but wow.
Wow it just gets bigger and better. I believe you when you say you will build it on your own if you have to . Your passion and skills will make it happen 🖖
I'm sure you've heard of the guys who have been building a full scale model of the Enterprise on Minecraft, they've recently finished it after 10 years of work I'm not sure which rendition of the Enterprise you're working on but I'd recommend giving it some research as reference!
The stairs at 5:47 are amazing! Also, When you mentioned how everything looked like a real ship being built, I was expecting some "crewmen" doing welding and other construction work. 😀
Truly incredible! I've been working on a 1/350 refit, but you've inspired me to get a TOS Enterprise as well and planning on making some sort of of scratch built super structure envisioning the phase between the original and the refit. 1/350 scale is going to be some tight work though.
Impresive work Sir. In the U.S. Navy, they aren't usually called stairs. They are usually called ladders. Most are only wide enough to have a single person climb up or slide down. For compartmentalized decks, they would be able to be airlocks and be able to be sealed with hatches. Aside from that, I can find no real faults with what you have built if I had the money I would try and probably fail to build that and a huge metal building to keep it in on display on my property.
Hey, hooo wow! That's so impressive as always. It's been a bit since I've had a chance to tune in. The progress you've made on your own is most impressive. Hopefully one day I'll be able to come over to Europe to see it in person.
Where are you going to display this gorgeous ship? You've probably already told everyone. Just found your channel. Your creativity and attention to details are off the chart!! Thanks!! ❤🖖🖖
If only the original designers and makers would have known the dedication and passion that their models inspired in fans. Absolutely incredible well done
Thank you for showing the size of this. Really love how you created the bridge furniture (chairs) and the other detail items. This is so crazy a build. Best of luck on the amazing project.🤗
The dedication and the concentration, the very focus and attention to detail really don't exist anymore in this day and age of now now now! The slow burn leading to ultimate satisfaction is a lost art. This is phenomenal and I know once you're done a rep from the studio or Museum will reach out to you.
On the TV the only places that were multi story were the shuttle bays/cargo bays, and the promenade on DS9. I always suspected they would have parts of the ship as a multi story area, just to allow for large storage, advanced training, or actually make a theatre, for stage performances etc. But as they couldn't justify building a huge set for one episode we never got to see parts of the ship that would have a 2 story room, or stairs leading to a lower or upper deck. This project is just making me love the TOS era even more.
There were a lot of big things like that referenced in the manuals, but never seen on screen. Cetacean Ops from TNG wasn't seen until STLD showed it off on the Cerritos. But to make an edit to my previous comment, the Engineering rooms were multi story and I forgot to mention those lol. But seeing as how important those rooms were to the show, it was in the budget, and got used multiple times. I'm mostly referring to sections of the ships that we don't ever see.@@Spider_Monkey_Films
You forgot engineering. There were a lot of places we never got to see.. the original Enterprise blueprints from the Technical Manual, one of the few Star Trek books to be considered canon, shows more 2 story rooms.

Didn’t see it there, but one of these videos just popped up in my feed, so perhaps it worked after all!
@@germansnowmansame haha!
Attention became a currency, what an odd world.
Please remember to include the "GNDN" pipes. I feel it wouldn't be complete without the production quirks from the show. This is simply unbelievably awesome!
"Goes Nowhere, Does Nothing". Yup, we all know that one! 🤣
This is the most epic model building I've ever seen! I really can't wait to see how it develops!
I am wondering where he will be placing the unit when it gets to be larger than his garage....hahaha
@@egovorchI reckon a modular design.... fills every room.
@@egovorch It wouldn't surprise me if some museum tries to snatch it up.
Wow! You must really love Star Wars.
Amazing, I grew up watching the original star trek series and have it on dvd in my collection. What your doing is amazing.
Thank you!
MR TREK!
THIS CORIGATED CARDBOARD?! MODEL -PERFECTLY SCALED!
THIS DESERVES TO BE HUNG IN THE -SMITHSONIAN MUSEUM‼️‼️😃👍👍👍
YOU ARE INCREDIBLY TALENTED!! AND OBVIOUSLY THIS IS A LABOR OF LOVE!!!
BRAVO!! BRAVO‼️‼️🖖🖖
This is insanely BEAUTIFUL! I thought I was the only person who loves to build HUGE sci-fi models! Continue the magnificent work my friend! Once completed it needs to belong in a museum! Live long and prosper! 👍
Awesome! Thank you!
Stunning scale. This model deserves it's own temperature/moisture controlled room, when it's done.
You definitely need a 3d printer.
Lol, was thinking the same thing! Moisture control ❤🖖
Room Hell ! He's gonna need a stadium for this. Do you know how big this thing is gonna be. It's huge !
@@markjohnson9402 lol, true true
He doesn't need a stadium, he needs an entire jumbo jet hangar to store it!
I've made hundreds of model kits, developed techniques for hiding seams, repairing molds, improving windows and glass, and thought myself pretty darned good. I feel like someone who barely knows how to walk watching someone fly. This is, by far, the most incredible build I've seen! I can't support financially, but I do have a new 3D printer and am willing to donate crew members, props, and wall sections!
Thanks! Sounds good, send me a mail at mrtrek1701@gmail.com
SO BLOODY AMAZING!!!!! MAKE IT SO!!!
This incredible model needs to go on display at The National Space Centre in Leicester! I hope it gets completed.
Wow! That thing is nuts!
Great work man.
I want to say something clever and inspiring, but words literally escape me right now!
Wow Looking Great
Awesome work!
I just LOVE how you have reimagined deck 1-2 with that maint corridor and stairs. People are going to whinge about it, but who cares, you have made the whole design feel more realistic with your creativity.
Coolest project ever😮
You, Sir, are mad in the very best way. Steady as she goes!

I never thought of it like that before, but now I'm thinking in terms of Kirk Era Lower Decks.
This is still so awesome. I love how the bridge and all the interiors of the test models are coming along, those stairs are beautiful. I did notice a few mistakes. The bridge module had an extra deck that was meant to be in the saucer and the saucer is way too short when you look at the thickness of the saucer and the size of the bridge module.

i wish i could shrink and walk around inside the full model when it is done...
You can. There’s a perfect full size replica in Ticonderoga NY. I went there with my family. Incredible experience
Wow, just incredible! Definitely a labor of Love for our Dear Series!!!🖖
IT'S LOOKING FANTASTIC YOU'RE DOING A GREAT JOB
Amazing details! A 1/25 scaled Enterprise is insane. Great job
I wish i lived in the U.K.. I would be honored to help finish building the Enterprise! ❤🖖! Praying someone will step up and offer a climate controlled building!!❤🖖
Right! This belongs in a museum (feel like Indiana Jones..)!
When he is done within 8 months is its not put in a Museum or some other protective facility id be shocked. This is a straight up masterpiece....... so far. Dont let me down man. I have a very strong feeling you wont...
Isnt that guy from Denmark?
@@hanshuckebein6260 I really don't know. Just going by his accent. Either way I'd be glad to help him out. ❤️🖖
You signed up to my Patreon but for some reason it got declined @@GatchamanG4
I'm amazed that cardboard actually held as long as it did, in all that wind, and outside humidity. That thing is huge, and it's just one cutaway slice! Thanks. :)
i would think corrugated plastic would have been the way to go.
WOW! I think this makes you our King. To all Star Trek fans everywhere we have to offer up the Vulcan salute 🖖
I can't wait to see how this project progresses I'm R2 builder myself but I'm a huge trekky. Live long and prosper I look forward to your next installment
Top work Mr. Trek.
this is just awesome
Splendid craftsmanship! Just fantastic progress
Detailing is simple yet effective. This thing is going to be freaking huge. Keep up the amazing work.
AMAZING
wow!
You're an amazing modeler,just as amazing as this creation of yours. I hope that when finalize that a suitable museum would display it as proudly as its builder. It deserves to be seen by many.
Nice Job Mike! It seems like the saucer section is being built quite quickly!
Just wait 'til he starts working on the Engineering section and the "neck" of the Enterprise.
@@Game_Blox9999 thats going to be interesting

Even with 80 people working on this it will still be a massive project.. Kudos to you and any team that gets involved.!!
I envisage a team of at least 5 full time and dedicated modellers working on this project for sure.
Glorious!!
