Enterprise from Catspaw

[goldcylon]

DID he actually offer an acrylic encased piece. If so, that totally got by me.

I “think”’some else did or in concert with Rylos run but it was over quick due to acrylic quality issues? Man that was along….. time ago.

 

[goldcylon]

I just sent a note to Rylo. Maybe he will chime in. Better to ask the horse and master prop maker.

 

[goldcylon]

I think all the ones Rylo made came as kits and none in acrylic.

Or assembled. Mine was assembled

Is that plastic or metal ?

Metal

yeah but encasing them was a pain so….

 

[goldcylon]

Metal

May I see the underside ?

That looks pretty good. I missed that one I have the earlier one on a stand with sound and the shuttle craft and the other metal enterprise NX-01 with sound

I think I’ll pass on on this one and apply the $100 toward the FE Mark VII.

I just spoke to Rylo. He was aware of the thread and he makes a point to not comment on other companies projects. He said he made no more than one or two in acrylic and frankly that the juice was not worth the squeeze and he never worked in concert with anybody else during that project. He said he was happy with the project but it was difficult and I’d imagine it’s a lot easier now that when Rylo tackled it about 10 years ago. GC

The Catspaw Enterprise has much less detail then the nice ones being shown. Simple design and yet hard (or expensive) to duplicate in metal. And then to add the acrylic....

It’s metal. I have the same one.

Since we're talking about it, how long is the Catspaw Enterprise? The ship itself, not the acrylic.

Here's the original at the National Air and Space Museum. Dimensions mentioned, but I think for the cube not just the ship.

But somebody else did them iirc ? It’s been over a decade

Nick Tierce did one. I don't think it was quite 10 years ago. I have one of his. Spot on, at least to my eye.

The FE one in acrylic I just bought (because, just to have) sure looks a lot like it.

And my wife was just saying the other day when she bought something At Williams Sonoma I balked at: "this from the man with 7 Enterprises". Eight now (it we limit to 3 dimensional manifestations, anyway).

I'm sure that is far from a record around here...

 

[warpsled]

I bought one because just to have.

Agreed. It's just too tempting and one of those things I'd kick myself for passing on.

Here are some great photos of the original from the Smithsonian

Here is the plan I did back in 2017 that I believe Gary used for his replicas.
