Love this:
SOTL:ACTIVE DUTY! «
That was not time wasted at all.
Thank you for that.

that was great! i miss all the old treks (except for voyager)
They spelled "calendar" wrong. LOL!!!
"calender" - ... um, okay.
VERY impressive, forget all the contentious, "i don't like this or that", this vid really made me love Trek ships all over again!

The original video has now been expanded to 4 minutes with even MOAR Trek starship porn:
SOTL: Active Duty! The Collection! «
Great stuff. I love the USS Planck at 1:46 (the Reliant style ship) and Probert's vertically oriented Romulan cruiser at 2:10. But really, it's all good.
I like the very first ship in the space dock that has the nacelle pylons hooked to the saucer with what looks like the impulse engines (yes i am a nerd for spaceships).
I believe that is supposed to be the NX-01 Enterprise after she had been refit with a secondary hull.
I love this reel, but the "Enterprise J" (at 1:08) looks ridiculous: like a vinyl record with engines. I know it's how it looked in the ST: Enterprise episode; I just hate the design.

I didn't recognize half the ships in there. I never even seen one of the calenders before I saw this thread. The ship at 1:28 that looks like a flying wing is a neat shape. I like the NX-01 with the secondary hull, was that ever in the show?

Some of those shots were made for ST:NV episodes.

The refit NX-01 with the secondary hull was going to be seen in the the 5th season, as I understand it.
A schematic for it:

I didnt at first either, until I realized that the Ent-J is massive in size. It's flat looking saucer section if I were to hazard a guess, would be 3-4 Ent-D's across. At least that's how I see it. Remember, it was leading the fight in the future against the Invading Aliens that created the whole Xindi conflict and The Expanse.
It has a real TOS feel to it. Actually all you need is a kit from the original series and from Enterprise and you could do it. Damn now i want to build a model kit lol.
Unfortuantely I've only seen a handful of Enterprise episodes (mostly from those Fan Collective dvd sets). Only reason I knew what the J looks like was from online pics.
Man I really must get around to buying the Enterprise boxsets. I really think I should give the show a second chance.
I would have loved to have seen an NX-01 with all the upgrades for the proposed 5th season. Makes you wonder how much further they would have taken everything to mesh with the 1st season of TOS.

They make a refit kit to use with the Polar Lights 1/1000 NX-01:
