The fact is the art department completely screwed up the design of the ship as to scale and design. That shuttle bay is unusable. What idiot puts crossbeams on a landing platform. Look at it! You dont have to be an art critic to see that the Art Director for 'Felicity' has no business on this project. The 'E' was a mess. BTW, I meant to say the Art Director not Art Department. Ryan Church's designs were wonderful before they were mangled by Chambliss and Abrams. The Brewery used for Engineering and the communications lab was atrocious, the scale of the ship changed from shot to shot, it was ungainly and awkward (because on the prepro drawings Chambliss mangled church's designs). Sorry, Ill take the hit for saying department instead of Art Director but Scott Chambliss needs to stick more reality grounded movies and stay the hell away from Trek.

What Wolvster said.

two different Enterprises. the first was the one that toured when the film was released. Not as elaborate in the lighting as this newer one

Yesterday I signed up for a "pre-order/waiting list spot" and I got this message in reply:

You have been added to the U.S.S. Enterprise Waiting List.
Thank you for your interest. We look forward to working with you on your artisan replica.

Have a great day,
Beth Nelson

And here is the lovely Beth Nelson with the Enterprise (also taken at DC). This give you a good idea of the size of the ship.

It's disappointing that the bussard collectors don't seem to have any movement to them as do those from the TOS.

The bussard collectors have a very clever lighting effect that makes it look like the internal workings are spinning. I don't know how they did it but it looks great. Movement with no motor to make noise or spray oil on the lenses. I wish I would have shot a video.

Is the name Playmates stamped on the bottom some where?

Hm. I don't know. Here is the Playmates Enterprise. Do you see screws, switches and battery doors on QMx's?

I guess not!

It looks as cheap as a Playmates. I like my MR better

Personally I'm just not a fan of the design.

That makes two of us. And if we go by the scale I looked at, it is what 1/2500

What pic are you guys talking about? The model is supposed to be about 34" (1:350?). Mustang, what pic makes it look like a Playmates?

Granted, that photo of the QMX E model in front of Beth Nelson does look smaller than 34" but I think that's a photo-illusion. This thing is supposed to be at least the size of the MR if not a couple of inches longer.

I don't dislike the design, but for $4k it ought to be 68" and come with a fully modeled and lighted bridge interior!

I haven't seen any pictures of this until now. Not a fan of the design and that base is really fugly and cheap looking. I wouldn't pay the amount they are asking for that. :sick

Well it's not 1/350 scale. This thing was suppose to dwarf the original E and if I recall it was thousands of feet long (right, lol).

I was thinking the samething, and if so, I think they made the shuttles to big for the bay

That size issue is supposed to be very debatable. I don't think there's an official canon size to the thing, is there?
