The finest most elegant design of any starship ever! I love the artdeco radiator grils in front of the warp engines and the cadillac fins at their end!
I have to admit that when I first saw the scenes where Kirk first lays eyes on her in the shuttle pod and when she launches after her refit i actually teared up. I'm a fan all they say back to the TOS series and IMO the refit is the most beautiful and sexy out of all 6 ships. ☺
@@Daedalus1701 Me too :-) The old NC 1701 refit with its cadillac fin tailed warp nacelles is my lady, I also love the 1970s style interiour design, the large crew meeting hall inside has some of the elegant looks of the 1960s made UNO congress building hall in New York ;-)
it's arguable, of course, cuz there's plenty of competition, but i wouldn't argue it. if you were to ask a random person on the street to name a sci-fi ship they're probably going to say the enterprise or the mill. falcon, and that's likely to be highly depending on which franchise has something going on at the time. both are ingrained into our subconscious.
@@HauntedCorpseGaming I was enjoying it but then the startup sequence took it to The Next Level. I saw the film in the theater and that startup brought back warm memories of when it first came out for home viewing and I would watch the film multiple times. Just the thing to make me happy in these sad days of CBS making me angry for disrespecting the fans by foisting ST: Duhscovery and ST: Pretendcard upon us.
This is the classic Deville of the Starship Enterprise. The prettiest version... I like them all but there's something about the original after refit and the Enterprise A.. 😍
Your intricate construction of this model along with a very thoughtfully produced video is the best expression of who trekkies and what Star Trek presents.
I wonder is there a museum like the Smithsonian for handmade models? I would put this in for sure. But I am old enough to remember the beautiful hand made aircraft manufacturer models that were seen in offices, throughout the military services, and airlines offices. I think most of them were similar to the wooden models you see coming out of the Philippines today.
Since the first days of watching the original series with my dad and hearing mom scold him for me being up late I haven't seen a better job done on this level of detail. You sir are a master at your craft ! Thank you for sharing this with all of the Star Trek fans.
She’s majesty incarnate, and the music is perfect too! This is from the first movie! I remember when that came out....so awe inspiring, in surround sound! We Trekkies waited so long for that first movie!
The music in the first part is from Wrath of Khan, James Horner. The second half is the Jerry Goldsmith score for Star Trek: The Motion Picture. The Horner soundtrack, in my never to be humble opinion, is better than the ST:TMP soundtrack. Horner has come it to his own quite well as a classical composer. He's often heard on the classical stations. Goldsmith is a great composer of soundtracks as well. He also did Patton, original Planet of the Apes franchise, Barnaby Jones theme, ST: The final Frontier, ST: Voyager, Insurrection, among many others.
The music in the first part is actually “Prologue and Main Title” from Star Trek 3. It also by Horner and incorporates many elements from “Enterprise Clears Moorings” from Wrath of Khan.
I remember when the first movie was released. I saw it 12 times in the theatre with different friends and family members. Now it seems like a boring movie but back then it was breathtaking. Wrath of Kahn was so much better. Thanks for sharing.
I'm getting ready to retire. I got money, a light-fiber source, and a degree in electronics. I don't think I can beat Jason Ware, but I'll be damned if I give up. Absolutely fantastic work, sir. Splendid, phenomenal. And the video rends some tears of appreciation.
Hello Jason, before anything paraveniza want it the excellent model built... It was beautiful. I have this model in 1/350 scale, I'd like to light my model with all details like yours. You said your compliação was all done in arduino, could provide this code and the lighting scheme? You have found the code on the internet or even you did? Congratulations for the work... It was perfect... Att.
I think the one you made from scratch yourself is better than this one. In other words your own design is better than the production model of an entire company!
🖖😎👍Very cool and a very spectacular wonderfully detailed model of the U.S.S. Enterprise inside and out and love all of the accurate lighting throughout the entire ship as well very awesome indeed!,👌.
I have such a big smile on my face right now.That Starship Enterprise is truly a work of a master builder , stunning there truly not enough superlatives.
Finest model of the original USS Enterprise I have ever seen.Bar none.Whoever built this is a true craftsman and I would very much appreciate a reply back from them.Simply outstanding!!
The original movie Enterprise was so majestic. I also cherished my masterpiece TOS Starship Enterprise, but had to sell her when I had to be hospitalized for a severe illness and needed to sell a lot of my prized possessions to pay the bills. Man, do I miss that ship. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely beautiful and incredible work on what I feel is the sleekest most beautiful ship in all of science fiction. I especially love the torpedo launcher.
Modeling at highest level ever! I love the perfection this model is made with. Nothing is overdone! Everything fit in his place and is absolutely beautiful. ! ! ! R E S P E C T ! ! !
When I was a kid I had several model kits of the original Enterprise, one of a Romulan Warbird, and a Klingon D7. After TMP, however I got the refit Enterprise and it was the center of my collection. I never put lights in it, but I would love to have this today. It was my headcanon that the Enterprise had always looked like this. The pylons were straight instead of swept, but the detail and depth of this model was always there. We just "couldn't see it" because of the photographic technology in the 1960's. The refit is just so beautiful, and the swept pylons are just the final detail that makes this design perfect.
Céus, vocês me fizeram chorar aqui. Como puderam fazer um trabalho tão magnífico, detalhado, sutil e artístico ao mesmo tempo? Mereciam um lugar em um museu do cinema ou algo do gênero. Belíssimo trabalho, vocês são os melhores.
Just an additional post. I wish I could have one. But I don't think I would have the patience to build one. I did build one back in the 1980's. The kit didn't have the lights or offer a light kit. I did a nice job although didn't have the Aztec painting, so I used different shades of silver and painted the panels by hand one at a time. I lost it when I lost my house. I wish I still have it. Your work is beautiful, the details are spectacular. Thank you for showing how you made it.
#WoW ! I got goose bumps & tears !! It was like she had come alive again for a movie to be made !!Thank you for all your hard work ! She's beautiful ! Gene Roddenberry would be proud ! The original models for the movies cost a small fortune to make!
+Waltham1892 ah, don't go that far, lol. just remember these things are plastic, paint, and lights. pretty damn fancy lights, granted, but these are all skill sets (aside from programming the lights) that are learn-able. :)
@@Waltham1892 The huge Enterprise Refit is beyond anything I could ever realize, much less have room to display for. There is nothing wrong with simpler builds like the Polar Lights 1/1000 snap kits.
She only last for 3 movies, but what a beauty! Especially love the lights in the photon launchers, but also the timing of the light display to the scenes in the movie, and the panning shot of the Enterprise approaching us. A fabulous tribute to an icon that stands for boldly going where no [hu]man has gone before. To paraphrase Bones, "They're really not dead, as long as we remember them"
I guess bones was right Steve. I grew up in the 60's and i remember her with round nacelles. When i saw "Star Trek the motion picture" in the theater that simple thing lost something for me. I understand most fans now just know the flat nacelles, their a lot younger than me.
It does lose something, Paul. The Enterprise refit, to me, is more realistic, but that's no a better thing. For instance, the original Enterprise could have episodes with Apollo the God, or trouble with Tribbles. The refit seems more stark, militaristic. More Patrick O'Brien. I like the dream aspect of the original ship, almost like an angel flying. That said, we had plenty of military in the original series (Balancw of Terror, Enterprise Incident, etc) To me, its 2 aspects of the same idea. I love both, both fulfill their roles for me.
I must say, what a job! I'm in the middle of building this just as a static model, and I'm having lots of issues. I can't imagine the work that went into lighting this thing up! Amazing!
Leo Roberts Vast difference in original model to this. I put together smaller version of refit Enterprise but this take the cake. Applying decal to this is insane.
Down votes must be straight up asses. What a beautiful build! What love of modeling&the craft of bringing it to life! It's why I have such a love for the early shows, series' & movies.. the modelers LOVED THEIR CRAFT! It's why I love the original thunderbirds! The MODELERS WERE INCREDIBLE WITH AN UNCOMPROMISING LOVE OF MODELING&BRINGING THEM TO LIFE WITH LOVE & A REALISM THAT CGI CAN'T! GREAT JOB!
Not sure why this popped up in my feed but glad it did...that was truly exceptional! I hope this can be put in a museum sometime so people can see how amazing your work is! Even the lighting variations on the deflector and RCS assemblies...magnificent!👏🏻
The paint job on this model is mind blowing. It’s not too shiny but no too dull. You struck the perfect balance. The lighting is some next level genius. Those docking bay lights blew my mind. And the radiating lights of the warp engines and the sensor array is beautifully done. And the touch of adding flashing lights to the photon torpedo bays was amazing. The way they build in radiation then flash is movie level detail. You sir are an artist.
So glad I saw this video! well impressive! I've just bought this model for my Brothers 50th Birthday present, as he's a huge fan of Star trek, to the point of converting his garage to a space ship! I think he's going to love this model! thank you!
I don`t usually leave a comment on the things that I watch, but I had to for this....I`m glad I`m not the only one to well up over the many set backs you endured on this project...But I was willing you on to the end...And what an end it was! A labour of love, for a ship that we all love...I salute you, Sir......Take us out!...Second star to the right...and straight on till morning :)
Movie magic and model makers always bring a great script and cast into our favorite movie. Star Trek, Star Wars, or all the thousands of films that we have seen.
The good old time, where filmmakers had respect for THE ship, and don't searched for best ways to blow the shit up on it... "Star Trek beyond", i talk to you! Great work, beautiful ship, thumb up. :)
Para os apaixonados sonhadores dessa série incrivel se inspirarem e relembrarem dos velhos tempos em que curtiam essas aventuras juntamente com seus pais e melhores amigos. Demais
Only so much to say about a 5 year old video, but pretty good aztecing on the saucer, masterful aztecing on the engineering hull, and I literally got goosebumps on the startup sequence. Holy cow!
Jason Ware the larger model. Is that NCC 1701 A, that you built from scratch? Just out if curiosity, has Paramount given you any feedback on either model? And one more thing; is the larger model in a museum? If it isn't, it should be!
I had the original model kit from when TOS was on, and I thought it was the shits because it had two grain-o-wheat lamps in it! This really takes me back. Nothing that followed had the pure magic that I felt watching TOS. Thanks for the memories!!! ♥
My son who was in the Army for 3.5 years came home after a 13 month tour in Afghanistan with PTSD and is now an alcoholic. He absolutely loves Star Trek and has built several models and owns all of the movies and tv episodes on dvd. I would very much like to purchase this one or make one with him exactly like yours. Can you give a father some good news with either how to build it or purchase yours? Star Trek 9s about the only thing he cares about besides his drinking. I am hoping together we can build this and spend some time that he will enjoy immensely with his dad.
I hope your son is doing okay now, I know it's been 2 years. There are a lot of modelling videos on TH-cam I'd suggest, chief among them being PLASMO - plastic models. Some others include ChrisAndAlexModeling, qdc748a, Doogs' Models, Luke Towan, AlexModeling, Interstellar Modeler, Trekyards, Andy's Hobby Headquarters, Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic, Genessis Models, marklinofsweden and of course, Paul Budzik, who is the Bob Ross of modeling. Not all of their videos are relevant, but they each have their own tips and techniques that will help you and your son, especially Paul Budzik's. Some essential tools are Squadron sanding sticks, Flex-i-File for rounded fuselages and the like, as well as Squadron putty, Tamiya liquid surface primer (to seal the holes in the Squadron putty after it dries), as well as a range of automotive sandpapers up to 3000 grit. I hope this helps...
Jason Ware how many offers have you had to buy it? because I'm thinking you could sell them like hot cakes. some of the comments that say this is art they are right and people will pay for a master piece. have you contacted a model company to try and sell it as a kit? you definitely set a standard thanks for sharing.
I don't feel so bad now. I did, too. I love this ships so much it's almost not right... And it's been so long since we've seen good Trek that hearing the music made me emotional.
Same! This is my all time favorite star trek ship. Such an amazing ship. I actually built it full scale in minecraft so I can walk around it and feel important hahaha
Time fire up my Star Trek the motion picture on Blu-ray, then finish with Wrath of Khan.. Enterprise leaving space dock was always my favorite, thanks for making me feel like a kid again.. so many hours building spaceship models inspired by Star Trek TOS. Need to do the Galactica :)
I grew up more with Star trek than Star wars but as I got older I got to where I like Star wars a lot better but man this thing is sick I can totally appreciate this thing
To say this is impressive is a mild understatement. Been a treky fan for over 40 years . Well done Jason on the hard work and labour of love you have put into making this beautiful model. Thinking of buying this after seeing your video and hope it will be as impressive as yours well I doubt but I will try.
Just an emotional amazing work of art. The music and cinematic overlays hit a chord. From the start up sequence, the photon launcher, and the shuttle bay lights, God, what amazing work and skill.
I noticed that your attention to detail is outstanding. I loved how the deflector dish turns colors going from off to fully functional. The running lights in the hanger deck were a testament to the detail that you put into this model that so many of us fans love. You should be recruited to help the Smithsonian people with the original Enterprise!
As a Star Wars fan of 40+ years, Even I have to admit that the Enterprise is the most iconic sci-fi ship ever.
The finest most elegant design of any starship ever! I love the artdeco radiator grils in front of the warp engines and the cadillac fins at their end!

Okay, the shuttle bay landing lights were truly awesome.
Too bad you couldn't automate the doors to open and close.

Are the title sound effects from the Star Trek 25th Anniversary game?

I had the original model kit from when TOS was on, and I thought it was the shits because it had two grain-o-wheat lamps in it! This really takes me back. Nothing that followed had the pure magic that I felt watching TOS. Thanks for the memories!!! ♥
My son who was in the Army for 3.5 years came home after a 13 month tour in Afghanistan with PTSD and is now an alcoholic. He absolutely loves Star Trek and has built several models and owns all of the movies and tv episodes on dvd. I would very much like to purchase this one or make one with him exactly like yours. Can you give a father some good news with either how to build it or purchase yours? Star Trek 9s about the only thing he cares about besides his drinking. I am hoping together we can build this and spend some time that he will enjoy immensely with his dad.
NoChoke if there is anything I may do to help please contact me .
NO Choke, I am a Vet as well and I would be happy to help you, get the kit and all the bells and get set up as well! Gus
I hope your son is doing okay now, I know it's been 2 years. There are a lot of modelling videos on TH-cam I'd suggest, chief among them being PLASMO - plastic models. Some others include ChrisAndAlexModeling, qdc748a, Doogs' Models, Luke Towan, AlexModeling, Interstellar Modeler, Trekyards, Andy's Hobby Headquarters, Doctor Faust's Painting Clinic, Genessis Models, marklinofsweden and of course, Paul Budzik, who is the Bob Ross of modeling.
Not all of their videos are relevant, but they each have their own tips and techniques that will help you and your son, especially Paul Budzik's.
Some essential tools are Squadron sanding sticks, Flex-i-File for rounded fuselages and the like, as well as Squadron putty, Tamiya liquid surface primer (to seal the holes in the Squadron putty after it dries), as well as a range of automotive sandpapers up to 3000 grit.
I hope this helps...
NoChoke ok give us an update it's been 2: yrs
having just a "like" button does not do this stunning piece of master craftsmanship justice.
Well done man. Inspiring to see.
WOW. Just easing back into modeling myself, but I would *never* attempt something of this magnitude. Amazing!
James Horner did the best music by far. Rest in Peace James Horner.
This is has to be one of the absolute coolest things I’ve seen on TH-cam.
Jason Ware how many offers have you had to buy it? because I'm thinking you could sell them like hot cakes. some of the comments that say this is art they are right and people will pay for a master piece. have you contacted a model company to try and sell it as a kit? you definitely set a standard thanks for sharing.
Just amazing....even the strobe on the bottom? Wow. And the shuttle bay is the best I’ve seen. Deck plating is amazing too. Well done. A+++++
Amazing. I actually teared up. lol
I don't feel so bad now. I did, too. I love this ships so much it's almost not right... And it's been so long since we've seen good Trek that hearing the music made me emotional.
hahahahaha
Same! This is my all time favorite star trek ship. Such an amazing ship. I actually built it full scale in minecraft so I can walk around it and feel important hahaha
Time fire up my Star Trek the motion picture on Blu-ray, then finish with Wrath of Khan.. Enterprise leaving space dock was always my favorite, thanks for making me feel like a kid again.. so many hours building spaceship models inspired by Star Trek TOS. Need to do the Galactica :)
How can any hater give thumbs down really..Klingon haters for sure....Awesome
+bitukukuasukgremany3 Probably _Next Generation_ fans.
right
Some serious talent went into this. Stunning model of a stunning ship.
5:00 How big is the monster sized one, and where does one get it?
I'd like to know too.
I think I found it. It's on this TH-cam channel. His other model is 6ft.
I grew up more with Star trek than Star wars but as I got older I got to where I like Star wars a lot better but man this thing is sick I can totally appreciate this thing
you did an amazing job..!
I've seen some impressive models on TH-cam, but nothing approaching this. Thanks for adding this beauty to the world.
Very nice. I love it.
But I need the real ship.
As someone who used to enjoy building model kits of Star Trek ships when I was younger this was so beautiful it made we want to cry!
Absolutely Superb........
To say this is impressive is a mild understatement.
Been a treky fan for over 40 years .
Well done Jason on the hard work and labour of love you have put into making this beautiful model.
Thinking of buying this after seeing your video and hope it will be as impressive as yours well I doubt but I will try.
"treat her like a lady......."
"....and she'll always bring ya home" ;)
IF you don't work for a movie studio, you should. Excellent detail and workmanship!
What a breathtakingly stunning model.. it blow me away.. honestly... beautiful..
The most beautiful starship ever designed. Such a work of art. When I was a boy, I dreamed of being on this Enterprise.
Just an emotional amazing work of art. The music and cinematic overlays hit a chord. From the start up sequence, the photon launcher, and the shuttle bay lights, God, what amazing work and skill.
Totally off the chart! Absolutely fantastic work, medal from Star Fleet will be in the post soon.
Absolutely beautiful!! I believe your Enterprise has more lights than the studio version.JUST AWESOME!
I noticed that your attention to detail is outstanding. I loved how the deflector dish turns colors going from off to fully functional. The running lights in the hanger deck were a testament to the detail that you put into this model that so many of us fans love. You should be recruited to help the Smithsonian people with the original Enterprise!
That is just gorgeous. That design of the Enterprise will always be the best of them all. Your attention to detail is amazing. Bravo!
I wished that I had 10% of the patience and talent that you did in building this model.
Wow! You must have hands like a watchmaker to do such detailed work.
I am without words. This is the build to end all builds. Unless of course you make another one.
I can't imagine how many hours of modeling work you had to get under your belt to get to this level of expertise.
Wow...there really are no words to express the beauty of this model and the exquisite detail..
