- A collection of all the photos of the Enterprise Refit I could find. Most are of the Refit A version, from the Smithsonian and from Christie's auction. Some rare photos of the TMP version are included.
Hope you find this useful!!
Wow! The refit version is, by far, my all-time favorite Enterprise. Incredible how much detail and precision there is up close. I love the simulated, interlocking panel idea. I think it's called Aztec. I remember seeing it for the first time on the big screen in 1979. The paneled look and new features gave it such a presence and sense of scale. Thanks for posting
@spaceace1006I personally still like the TOS better. Both are Greta though
THANK YOU!!!! When Mr. Scott said Admiral, we've just spent 18 months re-designing and re-fitting the Enterprise. How in the name of Hell do they expect me to have her ready in 12 hours. She needs more work Sir, a shake down, i wasn't ready. I thought they messed it up. When they did the fly around, I lost control and jumped to my feet and yelled Holy shit, look what they did to the Enterprise!!! The entire audience started applauding and woo wooing. When they engaged the warp drive it literally put tears in my eyes. LOL @spaceace1006
The original painting did made for TMP was far superior than what ILM did.
I've always felt the same way. The original paint job for TMP was a masterpiece. From TWOK on she was still beautiful but looked more gray and dull.
Is this the real one used in the movies? Amazing! It should be in the Smithsonian like the TOS NCC 1701.
100%!
@@johnatsf1564 Who has the model now?
Bezos at Amazon HQ. No, im not joking. @@marktravis8262

@@marktravis8262 Jeff Bezos owns it and it's displayed in the lobby of Blue Origin.
I can almost hear Jerry Goldsmiths score as I watch the images
The *best* _Enterprise_
Thanks for the collection of photos and video. Wish there were more of the TMP version!
Sad that these are all post ST:TMP - the original paintwork is way better, before ILM messed with it.
My favorite Enterprise. What a work of art.
Thanks for the video great reference guide
My friends, we've come home.
While still beautiful this paint job is a mere shadow of how breathtaking the original TMP paint was. I think I recall reading between TMP and TWOK something happened to the model and the paint had to be redone. Also, at one point one whole side of it was rattle canned flat black because they were having trouble filming it for a ride or something. Its a shame no one did a detailed photo study of her during filming of TMP.
Tomy's next Enterprise!😀
🖖😎👍Very cool and very spectaculary wonderfully beautiful and awesomely glorious great looking in every detail way shape and form indeed and the Refit Enterprise design has always been one of my truly all time favorite starship's along with the TOS designed version of it as well that I grew up with in and from the 60's!👌.
I've been wondering for years why the arboretum windows appeared either opaque or dark after TMP. All that detailed work in there and we never really saw that area onscreen
I think some of the bulbs burnt out. STK- IV The Enterprise A's arboretum windows were almost black very little lighting coming out of it. The bulbs must be really difficult to replace.
Saw the real thing in October at the Blue Original headquarters in Seattle, Washington. Thing is just hanging out in a break room.
Yeh Bezos bought it for 280k from Christies Star Trek auction in 2006
Here's hoping the folks at TOMY took a look at this....Oh wait, this isn't the Motion Picture version. This is the A (ST IV)?
Ok, this might be an unpopular opinoin, but I know there's a lot of shades of blue and almost all model makers replicate the studio model. But when I make mine I'm going to make it look like the one from Start Trek TMP, mostly white and light greys. On older film stock blues wash out to greys and they took that into account. (Same reason why Tie Fighters in the OT were grey on screen but the studio models were almost blue/gray in real life. So the intension was for the blue parts to look light grey. By ST6 film stock was to the point that it replicate colours a lot better but the paint job stuck due to time/money.
This is the one that certainly deserves to be in the Smithsonian
yes it does. to bad Jeff Bezos won it at auction. The the original men that painted the model with its pearlecent paint scheme wanted to restore her to her former glory. but Bezos has declined their offer and just leaves it in a display case.
So sad. She was always everyone's Enterprise ! At least, we're all still here for Real Trek and each other. The Christie's auction was so sad to me. If I could have afforded it all of at least all of the miniatures, I would have made a museum so We could all enjoy it like we did back then!
@@wendigos_eat_people7177not even a display case, its kept outside in a tent with other props
I never noticed till now that the Enterprise refit did not have an aft torpedo launcher...however the Miranda class did.
She belongs in a museum Indy would say. 😊
My favorite enterprise she is so beautiful
Too much pale blue trim for me but overall very nice.

I love how many shuttle and cargo pilots missed the flight deck with all the scratches in ENTERPRISE painted aft deck lead.
I wish these photos were readily available when I was a kid trying to build the AMT kit. I think they had to tone down the gloss paint after the first movie because it was too glossy to film. I think they had a guy from a motorcycle shop paint it initially.
Ahem , some rich person should donate this to the Smithsonian ahem!😶
rather than sit in a lobby unprotected

The bald man can't take it with him. I've never seen a hearse pull a U-haul.
While he has every right to do with it as he pleases because he paid for it keeping it away from public viewing is very selfish. Not very Trek at all.
@@aikawaayumu9003 no one said keep it away from the public. But a one of a kind icon should be preserved and not in a lobby with anyone and everyone running their hands all over it. Look at how many times the Smithsonian has had to do conservation work and full restoration on the original Enterprise model when it's viewable by the public and protected. Wealth gives you the ability to purchase what you wish while respecting what you are able to collect is an entirely different thing.
@@aikawaayumu9003
I agree. At least the bald guy can do is environmentally incase her.🙂
Thanks for sharing your studio model to the fans.
the most beautiful enterprise!
In case anybody wondered… The Enterprise A model.. is the actual model that was used in Star Trek the motion picture. Just a new paint job.
I heard Jeff Bezos now owns it.
Bought it at that auction.
anyone know for sure?
I hope the hell not!!!!!!!
Excellent thank you 🙏🏻
Man there's a lot of paneling on it!
Paneling???😂
