- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- This video shows my latest roughed out test model of deck 2, 3 and 4 in the saucer section of my massive 1:25 scale original Enterprise interior. The build of the finished model is scheduled for early 2024. The finished model will be supported on a strong metal frame and the cardboard I'm using for the test models will be replaced by wood, plastics and high quality architect modelling board. The finished model will be built in a large studio space as it will be 40 long and 11 feet high.

I love how there are auxiliary stairs from the bridge to the ship below, in case the turbolifts are busted.
Measure twice, cut once! The craftsmanship of the mockup is still amazing work.
Absolutely a labor of love!
The complexity of this project overwhelms me and I wish you continued success. This project brings the entire ship alive for me as never before.
Outstanding
So happy that I have this in my life!
Everytime I get a new video of what you've done I think to myself thank you for being a story teller and model maker, you know how to take a person on a trip in a daaaaam good way!! Thank you for what create and do!!
Wow !!! Such patience !!! I am looking forward to future updates !!!
Engineers can learn a lot from you. Great work
Every time I see the Bridge, I think it'd be cool if there was an edit to add "ambient Bridge sounds" from TOS for more atmosphere. There are videos on YT with these sounds (and Engineering, etc) that play on a loop for hours.
Really impressive, gets even more as you add levels! 😊
Maybe on the final build you could set up fiberoptic cameras or something that you can move remotely around the individual decks when the ship is together.
Im not 100% sure if its possible, but worth a look if you can see all the lighting and details when its not open as a cutaway.
Its going to look amazing no matter what option you choose 🤷♂️😎🖖
I was thinking something similar but have them installed as security cameras where people can explore the whole ship virtually
I was thinking this too. Of course, it implies some exceptional interior lighting.
I'm sure all the patreons will want to look into their quarters ever so often.
@@SoundAuthor yeah true, he did say hes got the space between the walls and ceilings to add the LED strips and so forth. I think I'm just as excited as he is to see the final complete thing haha
@@Autistic_Artist that would be amazing if its doable 🤷♂️😀 id be on it all the time!
I'm finally getting a feeling of the size of the ship! Thanks so much!
This video found me well👍
This is clearly the most ambitious project I have ever seen. Sometime back, I discovered a YT channel from a gentleman from Germany who 3-D printed the bridge and associated rooms of Deck One for Star Trek Voyager's ship. Very accurate and interesting since a Voyager Bridge model kit was never produced for the public. Back to your amazing work, I can't image how gigantic your Enterprise will be. Or even how you will be able to store/display this amazing creation. I am sure Gene Roddenberry would be very pleased if he saw this. Best of luck and well done so far to this point.🤗
This ship is going to be BIG!!! I admire your skill and dedication to really bringing this incredible ship of fiction to life!
I'm absolutely blown away with the work and accuracy you are working too. I'm so looking forward to the finished ship. Have you said where it will be displayed? I will definitely be there, I wish you continued success with your project.
Breathtaking scope of your build- Amazing!!!!!
I wonder if a remote camera could be constructed to travel through the decks when the model is completed, to provide additional interior access so all of the detail can be viewed. I am thinking someone else could create the little robotic camera, spec'd to fit within the corridors. Maybe an ESP32 which provides wireless connection, sitting on a slot-car type drive chassis, small servo for steering, and a phone camera to transmit the video.
Excellent idea.
I was thinking about using a medical endoscope.
Great idea
I have been thinking this too. Would be a good thing regardless, even if decks get opened or removed, to have that view available sometimes even for inspection purposes. Having it programmed with the floor plan and tracking, but the conundrum would be, with no actual working lifts how would it get from deck to deck.
@@Jedidaddyo A working lift would solve it quite nicely. This idea has potential.
I am so looking forward to the final reveal. Simply amazing!
That is an impressive model.
It’s the model build I never knew I needed..amazing !
WOW !
Awestruck. Thank you.❤
This is amazing and one things for sure - if Matt Jeffries was around he would absolutely be a subscriber to this channel.
Awesome project. Good luck.
Fantastic work!
This is fantastic..... just found your channel.
Each time I tune in I’m blown away mate….. you really are a natural born engineer. Loving your work 👍🏻 🚀
I have so many questions. Happy to just to watch it come together. Rock on
What an insanely brilliant project this is... absolutely fantastic stuff 👏👏👏
I understand that this is only a rough sketch of the final model, but tbh, if the incredible scaling and detail of this rough sketch is all we ever get, it's STILL amazing!
Really appreciate that, thank you ;-)
WOW!! You, my dear sir, are BLOODY INSANE!!!
But you are my kind of insane!!!
Also you are talented AF!!!
9:10 OMG! That's a huge roll of tape!
This model gives a good idea of how big the Enterprise is supposed to be. You have been busy.
Absolutely brilliant, Mike!
Loving seeing this mock up procedure. After all they do do it in the design process in most things like cars and ships although think its all done on computers now but at one time this was the only way to see if it actually translated from drawing to reality!
Gotta put a “Killroy was here!” somewhere in there…A fantastic job on your part…
It will definitely be a museum-worthy piece!
Great job on this beautiful piece of artwork. Can’t wait to see how it turns out.
The thumbnail looks like you have the best playset in the world.
Thank you for answering my previous question , regarding the Build , in both the Video and your message area . Now I get it and I'm fully on board now . As to your question during the Video about how to "show off" the interior spaces...maybe ask for help from anyone with micro-robotics skills . A very small remote controlled camera robot on wheels could be inserted into your model at any location and then driven through the Model remotely . This would be just like the views of a crewmember walking the halls . Certain rooms could have the doors left open so the robot could drive in . The possibilities are endless . Cheers ! /SRK
It's really coming together!
I can't wait to see this in it's entirety.
Absolutely amazing! I'm so looking forward to seeing this project to the finish.
It would be cool, if you had a camera on a remote small cart to roll through the structure.
Fantastic work, I hope I live long enough to see it finished. :) How about the same scale 1701-D next ho ho.
I can see the final exhibition being a series of models. Complete outer hull on one side, exploded decks on other side with numerous stand alone deck models around the exhibition which show the hidden areas on the ship. It's going to be impossible to show every detail you're incorporating. Things like the captains chair could be motorised to show the spin function but a detailed bridge model stand alone display would allow that kind of automation.
Maby installing a number of mini cameras to specific parts of the decks if your budget allows it will help you and save you enough work and time and give you better filming conditions for the internal structure!
Dude, this is so exciting!!! I love the huge goal you have set in place! Never give up.
Somebody somewhere get this man connected with Adam Savage!!
Seeing this configuration with this central aread of the upper hull stacked, I am thinking that for a final display setup, you might consider make it so it could b e displayed as an "exploded model" where you show this sort of layout then have the larger port and starboard parts of the saucer split side to side so people could actually walk between the sections and look in on the central decks and the outer saucer deck areas... almost like beeing IN the ship as you walk through and look at the details! just an idea I thought you might consider.
They often used dark rooms and black curtains in some other TV shows of the era due to the cost of building full sets, the need to film from different perspectives and also reuse portions of sets in different ways. I think it's amazing to think that builders today are literally taking imaginary sets further than ever before; probably further than ever completely imagined.
since its going to be over 40 ft long and so massive fiber optic cameras/viewers could be used but do not know the budget your working with. However, its probably the only option to gain and maintain the visual continuity you are looking for. This is used in high-end large building model architecture so all perspectives can be analyzed. It would be so cool on the final build for this model. Keep em' comin and thx!!!
Just incredible!! I admire your commitment to this project. Keep it going.
Absolutely phenomenal! Well done! Love seeing your videos as this project evolves, you are definitely my favorite channel!
Something that would help with the exterior shape of the ships hull is thickness. The hard work you are putting into this is loved by all thank you
Nice work!
Your model building skills are off the charts! Regarding the question of how you want to display your Enterprise model, to reveal its interior spaces, I would suggest you take a look at the large scale models of the Titanic that are on display at: the Belfast Titanic Museum, Museo del Puerto (Port Museum) Tarragona, and Mr. Gino Hart's home built "Tintanic" model. All these models are large scale cut away models of the RMS Titanic in 1/35, 1/30 and 1/29 measuring bet 25-30 ft long. All three have different ways of showing the interior spaces, decks and structure of the ship and would serve as good points of reference for you in how you want layout the cut away sections of the Enterprise to reveal the interiors you're building into the model.
Enhorabuena por el trabajo, y saludos desde España!
Such a wonderful project!!! Thank you so much for sharing your mission!
Look forward to every post on the progress of this beautiful lady! Your hard work, diligence and imagination are bringing my first love to life and I can't thank you enough for it!
I wish I could volunteer my services. I would love to help in any capacity. Thank you Mr. Trek.
Incredible work and with much due respect, isn't the famous teardrop much narrower on the end than that?
This is fascinating
You are clearly staggeringly brilliant. I cannot fathom the level of intelligence, patience and drive you must possess to do something this epic. It blows my mind. I think you also have a little bit of madness in you, because only an obsessive, mad genius could conceive of- and execute- such a bold feat. I stand in awe of you, sir and salute your passion. It puts the rest of us Star Trek fans to shame. I wish you all the best going forward and cannot wait to see this masterpiece when it’s finished. You will need an airport hangar to store it in… or someone will need to put it in a museum where the world can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship of it. Ahead warp factor 9!
I do hope your efforts don't get thwarted by the money grubbing thugs at Paramount. I know they've quashed some fan projects in the past.
Well done! Your diligence and attention to detail is amazing.
Well, I don't think Paramount has any plans in the future for a 1/25th scale TOS Enterprise! They were mad at fans making better Trek than they were.
I have been thinking about it too ... Paramount is quick to drop a 10 ton slab on the head of anyone messing with anything remotely related to ST. Even if you do not profit from it.
@@inkermoy Don't I know it. But they are a bit 'prickish' about their intellectual property (whether they want the model or not). Might not happen, but I wouldn't put it past the corporate greed-hogs to make some kind of stink about it. I know they have strict guidelines about fan-made movies. Not sure about props or physical items.
Honestly, I hope they never find out, or (if they do) that they think it's the coolest fan-made project ever (which it is!), and leave you alone about it. God Speed!
@@AlexandreMS71 Let's hope (for all that's good and holy) that they just let "Mr. Trek" work his magic for the sake of the fans (if they ever find out about it).
@@crooker2 Well, Paramount will have to pry my fan-made Bottle of Saurian Brandy from my cold dead hands! LOL!
LOVE it! Thanks and well done. for doing this fab project.
wow looks good to me i would go with it awesome work
You don't need my opinion or anyone else' but I have always dreamed of a bigger than life 30-60 ft Real Enterprise with a clear Mylar sheet for outer skin and the entire interior lit with LED from each room to hall to closet even and mini micro cams everywhere. Could be gold!
Sir, you are extremely gifted. I hope you keep posting. This is extraordinary. Which Enterprise is this?
You can magnetize the ships skin to be able to easily remove sections to display the decks. Hand rails, one of the advantages Star Trek has over Star Wars. :)
This is just.... way... to... cool...
Please may we have a tribble somewhere in a Jefferies tube?
when you get the final model done, ppl will see that and come back to watch these videos. i hope you don't feel as if you're not getting enough attention on YT, because i think this is one of those series that will live on for a very long time and be a very good reference for model builders, particular 3D printers. eventually, adam savage will mention you, lol.
Another great video . I cannot wait ( and I bet you can't to get started ) on the real thing . Love your passion 🖖
I was just thinking I'd love to see an arboretum with working water feature on our ship, that'd be so cool haha, also i know water and cardboard materials don't mix so it'd have to be build out of something that'd work for it (I'm not that daft)
Your commitment to this build, and your patience and attention to detail are just inspiring (not that I want to attempt anything like this), I do have a small critique to make, given your desire for accuracy in this project, I wonder about those very tight angular spaces on either side of the briefing room, I do not have the plans in front of me but they seem awfully cramped for any kind of human passage, perhaps those might be more useful as piping or electrical conduit spaces, or even that marvelous view screen, just a random observation but overall really enjoying this build
you ruff versions are great looking .. i cant image the final version !
Most amazing work!
Thank you!
Hi, I may have missed earlier explanation. But is this a mock up in preparation for a model made of a more durable material. With all this amazing work. I would worry sick about it becoming damaged? Perhaps styrene sheet would be a better material? Sorry if you e a,ready explained this. Either way, hats off to you for the level of detail. Can’t wait to see the finished result! Well done.
Love what you are doing, and seeing these test model "sketches" really drives home the size of the interior of the vessel. I would again suggest that you study photos of the aft portion of the teardrop in the 11 -foot filming model on display at the Smithsonian so you more accurately get the shape correct, as bo0th the FJ and FASA deck plans are not that accurate when it comes to the shape of the aft teardrop. It is much narrower and "pointy" at the back on the filming models.
Again, what you are doing is fantastic, and eagerly look forward to seeing this come together.
They're not particularly accurate in terms of the over shapes and proportions of nearly everything where the two studio models were concerned.
Every…single…video update is more incredible than the previous. 😎
What is going to happen to this “test” model when you move on to the actual build? Simply amazing work…🖖
Thinking about the stairs down from Bridge level, there could also have been some fireman's (Bat) poles to speed up evacuation on every level.
Two way paint on a clear outer structure would be cool , so it looks normal until you turn the interior lights on and then you can see through it . I didnt like the dated large orange front indicators on my 1995 Jag, so I misted them over with body colour paint (not too thick) to match the bumpers , when they flashed you could still see them .
Great work!
On Deck 7, aft of Transporter Room 4, there is a chapel according to the Franz Joseph plans. It is almost certain this is meant to be the room seen in “Balance of Terror”. As you revise the layout of the USS Enterprise, I think it bears asking whether said chapel is dedicated space or if it is a general purpose community room. It seems likely that Andorian crewmembers might have a culturally specific need at points in the calendar. Personally, I’d enjoy seeing a Vulcan ritual room aboard. Please consider this food for thought.
It's incredible, you should be working for Star Trek CBS
At 6:30 to 6:44, you get a feel for the size of scale of the decks, as it really looks like you're on an upper floor looking down through a couple floors of a building under construction. What is your measurement, deck top to deck top? What are you accounting for as for actual deck heights and scale deck heights?
I've been working on the Franz Joseph deck plans just layering them to get an idea of where everything is, but I'm finding some things seem to be different scale on those decks above the saucer, 1 through 4, especially on the bridge deck. Did you have that problem as well? Maybe I just scaled incorrectly.
This thing should go on a world tour to different museums at some point perhaps.
Amazing!
Instead of a handrail at 10:40, you might want to build out the back of the Viewscreen (and floor beneath it) to facilitate installing a small LCD screen you can control remotely.
A walkable grillwork or some sort, to give support for servicing the view screen, yet allow sight/sound between the deck. Or not a grill, but solid flooring/bulkhead that can be closed off for security or environmental issues. TOS didn’t use force fields as freely as TNG did.
I found it easier to visualize the teardrop as 2 half-ovoids stuck together, fore and aft. Both ellipses have the same height and width dimensions, so they join smoothly, but the forward length is shorter than the aft length. Ovoid is just an egg shape, and the teardrop looks just like half an egg. I found these dimensions work best for the Franz Joseph floorplans: semi height 9.65m, semi width 12.304, with the for semi length of 11.81 and the aft 22.94 with an offset of the egg through the primary hull vertical axis of 2 meters forward. Put this on graph paper, and you'll recognize it immediately!
The problem is that the Franz Joseph proportions for the "tear drop" superstructure is wrong. Both on the 3 foot and 11 foot models it tapers back to a smaller point than his version does or that of the Jefferies quick reference drawings do. This mistake was repeated on the AMT models as well.
it would be kind of cool to have a little camera on wheels or tracks to be able to see the interior from scale, just a thought.
STELLAR work regardless.
I think; if you concentrate on portions; you could make a pretty good web series just with some voices and either puppets or stop animation.. maybe make enough to basically buy a building for the set to both exist; and be easy to interact with. I'd love to see the stories you'd tell. You are obviously talented.
Were there loo's and bathrooms on star ships? I know its not canon! Also amazing what you can do with cardboard.
They are all over the ship. On the model I'm creating there will be over 700 toilets.
Cover with a reactive glass ,the one with electrical charge that turns opace to clear or a material that can bend with the same type of properties.
so great 🖖🏼
😊this is truly a monumental build especially if it teaches fruition just one thing how do you intend to source the dilithium?.
Regards
I applaud your enormous effort for such a large project! But, I am wondering, which version are you making. The original from the series or the refit version from the movies. If it from the movies then the bridge is in the correct orientation, but if it is from the series then the bridge needs to be rotated approximately 35 to 40 degrees port. Because the port turbo shaft doors are at the exact center line of the ship.
This ship is going to be huge have you a plan to hold the primary hull in check due to the off center weight
The more decks you make, the more Im convinced the Connies could have had crews FAR larger than what the writers back then had envisioned.... maybe several thousand, if they had jobs for all of them, with plenty of space leftover. And they could have taken on over 10,000 colonists, etc quite easily, with enough life support & food.
I think there should be stairs down to deck 2 since there is room for them. I don't think they'd use ladders except where needed.
In my opinion, firstly, you have "blessed hands".
Secondly, you should finish the model as soon as possible, in order to show it to William Shatner while he's still with us.
Thanks!
In watching this I couldn't help but to think it looks like the apartment building where the Jetsons live.
Brilliant model build. Have you worked out how much the model will weigh by the time to build the final model? With all the figures, details and electrics and materials it sounds like it will weigh a fair bit? Also, do you plan to have the final model on display some where, it will be worth travelling to vist.
