You do realize how big the model would be? If the refit (at 1:350 scale) is almost 3 feet long, the D (at 1:350 scale) would be over twice that length (over 6.5 feet long). As amazing as it would be to see, only a handful of people have homes/doors/openings) large enough. Even Paramount stopped using the large scale shooting model, as it was too cumbersome.
it is based on generations not the series. The 1701-d behind the shuttlebay is in black, in the series it was yellow. The escape pods also look like the generation versions rather than the tv series
Agreed, the shape of the model as well as many small details indicate this was based on the 6-foot miniature used for Seasons 1-3 and Generations, not the 4-foot as stated. And I'm perfectly fine with that. The 4-footer is ugly. The sixer is lovely. Any word on price for this!?
I'm really happy for you, and I'mma let you finish, but the USS Enterprise 1701-D replica on the unreal engine was the best replica of all time. OF ALL TIME.
Lazarus Zoolander no, the guy was working on it, and it was looking really good(except when you went outside the avatar looked 9 feet tall 😂😂😂 the inside and out side scales didn’t match - which was a thing he was going to eventually work on ) , but then they (CBS) just slapped a cease and diciest order on him, - which was around the time the went around copywriting fan films and telling them you need to limit anything Star Trek related to only 15 minutes.
Plus, for all the talk of metal armature to eliminate droop, that is an INCREDIBLY droopy looking model. Secondary hull is tipping backwards and the pylons are drooping like crazy. Look at that final shot - the two nacelles are angled away from each other.
I was hoping to find this in the comments because i too thought the entire thing was incredibly warped and droopy. I'm not going to lie, i don't *really* care about the super detailled errors since "The Enterprise D" is impossible to recreate, having been represented with several different models, but even the 4 foot model that many fans don't like as much as the 6 footer didn't change the angles like this. Of all the things to get wrong they managed to screw *that* up? Not good for being their show piece. I actually disagree with Eva_Unit - this is the one time they show this off, whatever they bring better be flawless so nacelledroop and saucerdipping is a big, BIG no-no.
@@DaveMcAnulty I've been staring at the ent D making a 3D model of it for the past week, so the shape of it is VERY fresh and prominent in my mind. No camera angle would warp the shape that much.
I hope that's a prototype- the details are wrong in various places ( if it's meant to be from the TV series and not Generations, like he says ), and the quality is a bit rough in terms of the windows and paint/panel lines in a lot of places. I dig it, but it needs some refinement...
It does indeed. My instincts tell me that this is the ‘final product.’ Despite what he says this is more like the Generations one, note the lifeboat hatch details.
I've been wanting a high detail model of the Enterprise D but this can not be it, the guy talks about this being very accurate and based on the 4 foot model from TV, not the movie version. We can clearly see at the aft of the nacells at 2:53, a detail that was added to the 6 foot model in generations.
@@KerbalSpaceCommand The general proportions of the ship don't match the 4 foot model either. The deflector dish being one of the areas where it's obvious. I actually got excited at first because I'm a weirdo and prefer the 4 foot model. Additionally, surface detail was a big element of the 4 footer and that's missing here too.
Kerbal Space Command Actually they were on the model later on I believe, before Generations, but it isn’t something you’d think of with the series, but the movie.
@@nicholasdickens2801 When the series originally aired they were not, in a CG shot of the remaster you can slightly see them and in that same shot the neck also has the generations stripe.
This isnt a replica of the 4-footer. The 4-footer model had a thicker saucer section border. It seems to be a mix of the 4-footer for the nacelles and the 6-footer for the saucer.
I’m not even a serious trekker but even I know that thing about the thicker saucer section, they needed a smaller model for distance shots, but wasn’t the change in the thickness to balance the introduction of Ten Forward and the set design, which didn’t quite match up with the external appearance?
@@Lumibear. That is correct. In the floor plans for the 6-footer, the top and bottom windows of the saucer section belonged to one level. For the 4-footer, the top and bottom windows were separate floor levels of which 10-forward was the level below.
the underside of the saucer looks smooth, the 4 foot version has a lot of raised and recessed pannels on the lower saucer to add more visual interest, this definately looks more based on the 6 foot model.
Happy Birthday Roboto It most definitely worth that, especially with saggy nacelles as in the past and the other poor details. I’d rather have Polar Lights tackle it.
He said he based it off the 4 foot model yet it has the 6 foot proportions on the saucer and Engineering hull. Some of the tells are the thickness of the sensors on the ring of the saucer and the Shape of the Deflector dish.
Boo, do them all "IN SCALE"! Pick a scale and stick with it. It is so frustrating that you have all these scales, but few are all in the same scale so you can have them all side by side to get a better sense of the universe. I mean do a 350 Reliant, but also do a 1000 scale.
1:1,000 scale is great, we just need the C and E in that scale then all the Starship Enterprises will be available in 1:1,000 scale, Round 2 make the NX, TOS, refit/a and B in 1:1,000 scale alongside many of the other well known ships, so 1:1,000 scale is fine. Unfortunately this is not a replica of the 4 foot ship, the details are all wrong, it looks like the 6 foot D, the 4 foot had a lot more surface detail than the 6 foot or this model, especialy visable when looking at the lower saucer in a commonly used piece of stock footage, and on this the lower saucer is far too smooth
@@terryforsdyke306 Yup, for a long time they were all over the place and in larger scales they still are. 1:1000 is the only scale where you can now get most of the various ships. Including Reliant. I agree with your assessments of this particular model. I also thought it seriously lacking in surface detail even at 1:1000 scale. For a Round 2 kit I can understand, but for the cost they are charging for this they are relying heavily on those decals to sell detail which is a cheap shortcut if you ask me. Ultimately they are in it to make money and margins have to be pretty large for them to be successful.
For $1,701 it better have a better build/paint quality than that. If it was a rush job to meet Comic-Con, it's forgivable, but if I got that in the mail as a customer I would be like...nope.
Diamond Select /Art Asylum did a much more detailed Enterprise D (among other Star Trek starships) that is about the same size as the Playmates one but has much better lighting and details and sounds. Of course there aren't working navigational lights and the windows aren't lit up, but otherwise it's a very fine model... and the saucer section detaches from the drive section revealing the battle bridge and the saucer section has it's own batteries that keep it's lights on and the sound effects going when separated so it's got some coolness factor to it! And it won't break your bank account to own one. Just saying.... check like Ebay or Amazon.
I feel I need to ask why does it NOT say ENTERPRISE near the fwd torpedo launcher ? I have the model I have spent many a time putting on ALL the Decals.
Exactly! Generally love this model, but it's certainly a mash-up of elements from the different filming models. I really prefer they stick with one model's design, preferably the six-footer from the series.
Because they purchased that model from a garage kit maker and put it together then passed it on as their own after having CBS send him a C&D on selling them. I own one and the model is based on Generations, and it didn't have the Enterprise decal under the torpedo bay in the movie.
Paint job was clearly rushed. Whole model, drooping nacelle, issues around the disk, etc. all looks rushed. I imagine all the dust and whatnot is from shipping foam, as it looks like that. I would love to see the final version because this doesn't seem representative of what they can do.
Well I can build the Enterprise-D based on the AMT clear version with their blueish decals and with sound and light effects (warp jump for example) for less than half the price.
This unit was 3D printed. The production unit will be resin and fibreglass, so it won’t be printed like this. I’m sure all the flaws will be taken care of. Though I’m not sure why he thinks this is the 4ft model when it’s clearly the 6 footer.
Overall it looks great, but the engines seem to droop to me. The shot at 3:32 really doesn't look great. Hopefully they can work that out for full production. I love the LCARS stand, and the quality of materials they're using.
The model looks tilted from the forward section of the star drive section to the pylons and the detail around the windows is not great. Probably not worth the $$$ you are going to charge.
3:33 look at the sag of the starboard nacelle pylon relative to the neck and saucer. That's a horrific defect for a replica model built to sell at a $2k price tag
That's, um, a pretty rough model there. Really rough paint job, don't seem to have sanded the thing down any... Their MSRP for this thing is $2,000 USD, and the level of quality on display in this video is not worth remotely close to that much.
if you mean the yellow on the side rim of the saucer edge, and the yellow on the side edge of the engineering section those are rcs thusters. They are also top and bottom of the rear corner of each warp engine. If on the other hand you mean the yellow sections on the tops and bottom of both the saucer and engineering section those are transporter emitters
OMG im so excited at the potential... but so many quality issues. A bit concerned about his comment: "we're going to try to capture what we can of the aztec pattern..." This is what will make or break this statue in my opinion... otherwise it will look like a toy. Fingers crossed they figure it out! (I wish it was closer to 30"... would look better next to a 24" Reliant. =) Looking forward to seeing the end result! Thanks Tested... you awesome!!!
I was always a bigger fan of the voyager's design. Small, fast ,and mean. Can't wait to see their production model for it. The Galaxy class here looks so amazing, I'd love to put it on a shelf with my excelsior model
Intrepid class is a weak piece of garbage. Galaxy Class all the way. You only seen 1 Intrepid class during the Dominion War and it was transporting diplomats while the big boy Galaxy's were wrecking crews in the war. Voyager lol, Voyager fans are pathetic.
@@lucydavids890 I liked the part where one Galaxy-class got destroyed by a computer virus, and another by an 80-year-old museum piece. Also: so what if we only saw one Intrepid in the war? We didn't see ANY Sovereigns.
Helios in Germany is currently shipping a 1/650 kit, but you'll never be able to afford it. You can commission a professional model maker to make you an extremely detailed AMT 1/1400 Ent-D kit build, exceeding the quality in this video, for a reasonable price
The Eaglemoss/Fanhome subscription model is garbage, and costs thousands. Better off learning how to build models properly. Or you could set a couple thousand bucks on fire for fun, and still have enough left over to pay a model maker to build an extremely high quality AMT 1/1400 kit for you@@Anth230
Looks okay except I think the saucer is a bit too thin, the warp engine struts look a little droopy, and that secondary hall seam line doesn't look quite level. This thing is like what, 1000 or $2,000? It's a four digit number, but if you have a little bit of skill and some patience you could just buy a model kit, build it, paint it, throw in some LEDs, slap some decals on that mofo and BAM! You probably have a better looking replica than this and for substantially less money. Sure, it's a lot of work. If you want to do it right be prepared to spend some time and do some research on a project like that, but boy o boy it's a lot of fun once you've got the hang of it.
I pre-ordered one. But it's 100% based on the Generations version of the 6 ft model. Not a deal breaker for me but I hope they fix those gaps and drooping nacelles
@@misterlyle. never received it. The company went under before anyone received them. Kind of disappointed but I got refunded. Hopefully someone else will pick up this project in the future
@@PaulYoung1591 Thanks for the update! It seems likely that someone will eventually offer this model. Polar Lights might consider it for one of their finished replicas. (I notice that Sideshow (dotcom) has several Chronicle Collectibles items still in stock, but of course no Enterprise.)
Man, it is really disappointing Chronicle Collectibles looks to be going out of business. I placed an order for this in May with the understanding it would fulfill in Q4 2020. With the height of the pandemic, they pushed fulfillment to Q1 2021. Now I just found out on their Facebook page it looks like they're going through financial hardship due to COVID-19. Many are speculating they're going out of business.
@@randomrazr I paid for it, but never received it - no one did. Thankfully a lot of us were able to dispute the charge on our credit card to retrieve our money. Some weren't so lucky.
@@Dante_Vincent Damn that would suck to lose 2000 dollars. glad you got it back. what a shame though, its a really nicely done model of the ship if they ever went into produuction . best i could find thats pre made is the diamond select enterprise lol
@@randomrazr No joke - I was REALLY looking forward to this one. It's almost impossible to find a 1:1000 scale replica of the Enterprise D. I tried the Hero Collector by Eaglemoss and the build quality was really bad. Not surprising they also ceased operations and ostensibly went bankrupt.
@@Dante_Vincent I hate to say it but this whole kit was a lie! They stole that kit from a garage builder who's name I won't mention and built it up and maybe copied and sold some. I own one that I'm building right now. It's definitely based on the 6'' model not the four foot. When the guy who made the kit called them out, they claimed they got one of his and built it up for display preposes only, I'd be surprised if anyone ever even got one from them.
This model is awesome! We had the Star Trek experience visit Phoenix and I must say I was disappointed in the quality of the small models they had on display. They were bad, really bad. If you had bought the Revell kits and just glued them together they would have looked better than what was on display. I wish I could have taken pictures but the only pictures you could get had to be paid for, another way it sucked. (It wasn't all bad. They did have the full size Enterprise D bridge set up and had the scaled down saucer section from Star Trek Generations, which was cool.)
This would look a lot better if it was in focus. I don't like to judge camera work, but wow.... It's hard to even see the model. I understand wanting to give it a cinematic look, but there are limits.
That is actually a very reasonable price, some high end model builders want 4 to 6000 dollars, and i can't blame them considering the skill and time required to build, and that's assuming they are in the mood to build at all, they often have day jobs and aren't building at all
I hope the actually production models will have a better finish than that display prototype. You can see pylons are drooping and the windows roughly drilled out and the impulse engine painted over in grey! Also, it is SO a Generations version. You can easily tell from the little greebly at the aft, top, end of the nacelle. Those were added for Generations.
A descent model but the inconsistency of scale between the enterprise and reliant as well as the inaccuracy of the enterprise model, which he says is based on STTNG, makes me question their vision for the product line.
lennier1 hopefully this is just a rushed prototype. I’d be really disappointed to spend what they’re probably wanting for this to receive something with jacked up seams and splotchy paint.
Nice model but the warp nacelles are drooping under the weight and the paint has hairs and all sorts stuck in it :( not professional paint job on this one, should of sanded it completely smooth between coats to get that realistic smooth hull finish!
@Enohadoland Yea I have been looking at it for the past month. Two things kill me about it. First I have to build it (time is a luxury) and second, it takes over two years to get the entire thing delivered and built.
I don't have any ST stuff in my collection and this would have been perfect. It doesn't look good at all honestly. I'll just have to get the old plastic toys from the 90's.
She is immaculate! The Enterprise-D is my favorite Starship of all time.
IMO: It would be nice to keep the scale the same for all the Star Ships so you can get a true sense of size and scale from the whole collection.
You do realize how big the model would be? If the refit (at 1:350 scale) is almost 3 feet long, the D (at 1:350 scale) would be over twice that length (over 6.5 feet long). As amazing as it would be to see, only a handful of people have homes/doors/openings) large enough. Even Paramount stopped using the large scale shooting model, as it was too cumbersome.
@@MichaelJShaffer I agree. It would make for an impactful display at a museum to have the scaling carried across the range, though!
@@BrandiCouch Absolutely! It would be incredible to see all of them (in scale) at 1:350. Maybe some day ;-)
you got 2000 dollars for this pos?
it is based on generations not the series. The 1701-d behind the shuttlebay is in black, in the series it was yellow. The escape pods also look like the generation versions rather than the tv series
Agreed, the shape of the model as well as many small details indicate this was based on the 6-foot miniature used for Seasons 1-3 and Generations, not the 4-foot as stated.
And I'm perfectly fine with that. The 4-footer is ugly. The sixer is lovely.

if you mean the yellow on the side rim of the saucer edge, and the yellow on the side edge of the engineering section those are rcs thusters. They are also top and bottom of the rear corner of each warp engine. If on the other hand you mean the yellow sections on the tops and bottom of both the saucer and engineering section those are transporter emitters
OMG im so excited at the potential... but so many quality issues. A bit concerned about his comment: "we're going to try to capture what we can of the aztec pattern..." This is what will make or break this statue in my opinion... otherwise it will look like a toy. Fingers crossed they figure it out! (I wish it was closer to 30"... would look better next to a 24" Reliant. =) Looking forward to seeing the end result! Thanks Tested... you awesome!!!
I was always a bigger fan of the voyager's design. Small, fast ,and mean. Can't wait to see their production model for it. The Galaxy class here looks so amazing, I'd love to put it on a shelf with my excelsior model
Intrepid class is a weak piece of garbage. Galaxy Class all the way. You only seen 1 Intrepid class during the Dominion War and it was transporting diplomats while the big boy Galaxy's were wrecking crews in the war. Voyager lol, Voyager fans are pathetic.
Funny how relative "small" can be. Voyager's larger than Enterprise-A, but compared to a Galaxy-class, she's just a li'l guy.
@@lucydavids890 I liked the part where one Galaxy-class got destroyed by a computer virus, and another by an 80-year-old museum piece.
Also: so what if we only saw one Intrepid in the war? We didn't see ANY Sovereigns.
I just purchased the Cryo-Can. Soo bad ass.
Okay, he says the model is based off the TV version yet uses the lifeboat design in the Generations paint job. Hmm.
Found the nerd.
And approved by this nerd, who was just screaming at the screen about the Genereations lifeboat decals
Where can I buy this model of the Enterprise D please
Can't. Dipshit in the video tanked his business before any were delivered. None were made. Customers who paid were screwed.
I think the cryo can is more impressive of the two models. And that's from someone who hates Jurassic Park.
I was hoping it was a $65.00 price tag..guess not!
So sad this company didn't survive covid! I am on a desperate search for a NCC 1701-D replica just like this but do not think one exists? Anyone?
There is one out there that you have to put together yourself...fully lit,.metal construction.
Helios in Germany is currently shipping a 1/650 kit, but you'll never be able to afford it. You can commission a professional model maker to make you an extremely detailed AMT 1/1400 Ent-D kit build, exceeding the quality in this video, for a reasonable price
The Eaglemoss/Fanhome subscription model is garbage, and costs thousands. Better off learning how to build models properly. Or you could set a couple thousand bucks on fire for fun, and still have enough left over to pay a model maker to build an extremely high quality AMT 1/1400 kit for you@@Anth230
Please, Chronicle Collectibles, do Stargate again !!! A Jaffa for example !
Looks okay except I think the saucer is a bit too thin, the warp engine struts look a little droopy, and that secondary hall seam line doesn't look quite level. This thing is like what, 1000 or $2,000? It's a four digit number, but if you have a little bit of skill and some patience you could just buy a model kit, build it, paint it, throw in some LEDs, slap some decals on that mofo and BAM! You probably have a better looking replica than this and for substantially less money. Sure, it's a lot of work. If you want to do it right be prepared to spend some time and do some research on a project like that, but boy o boy it's a lot of fun once you've got the hang of it.
Missing Enterprise decal on the neck
WAY better than wasting money on that Eaglemoss version.
I pre-ordered one. But it's 100% based on the Generations version of the 6 ft model. Not a deal breaker for me but I hope they fix those gaps and drooping nacelles
Hopefully you order has been successfully completed. How does the finished product look?
@@misterlyle. never received it. The company went under before anyone received them. Kind of disappointed but I got refunded. Hopefully someone else will pick up this project in the future
@@PaulYoung1591 Thanks for the update! It seems likely that someone will eventually offer this model. Polar Lights might consider it for one of their finished replicas. (I notice that Sideshow (dotcom) has several Chronicle Collectibles items still in stock, but of course no Enterprise.)
Very cool!
what will cost to by ?
That’s a pretty sweet Enterprise replica. I’d be afraid to buy one and damage it haha
Man, it is really disappointing Chronicle Collectibles looks to be going out of business. I placed an order for this in May with the understanding it would fulfill in Q4 2020. With the height of the pandemic, they pushed fulfillment to Q1 2021. Now I just found out on their Facebook page it looks like they're going through financial hardship due to COVID-19. Many are speculating they're going out of business.
i saw it was suppose to be 2000 dolllars....is that true? did u ever end up getting it
@@randomrazr I paid for it, but never received it - no one did. Thankfully a lot of us were able to dispute the charge on our credit card to retrieve our money. Some weren't so lucky.
@@Dante_Vincent Damn that would suck to lose 2000 dollars. glad you got it back. what a shame though, its a really nicely done model of the ship if they ever went into produuction . best i could find thats pre made is the diamond select enterprise lol
@@randomrazr No joke - I was REALLY looking forward to this one. It's almost impossible to find a 1:1000 scale replica of the Enterprise D. I tried the Hero Collector by Eaglemoss and the build quality was really bad. Not surprising they also ceased operations and ostensibly went bankrupt.
@@Dante_Vincent I hate to say it but this whole kit was a lie! They stole that kit from a garage builder who's name I won't mention and built it up and maybe copied and sold some. I own one that I'm building right now. It's definitely based on the 6'' model not the four foot. When the guy who made the kit called them out, they claimed they got one of his and built it up for display preposes only, I'd be surprised if anyone ever even got one from them.
This would be good but too many dust and fiber glass thread's.
Omg awersome awersome awersome!!!!!!!
This model is awesome! We had the Star Trek experience visit Phoenix and I must say I was disappointed in the quality of the small models they had on display. They were bad, really bad. If you had bought the Revell kits and just glued them together they would have looked better than what was on display. I wish I could have taken pictures but the only pictures you could get had to be paid for, another way it sucked. (It wasn't all bad. They did have the full size Enterprise D bridge set up and had the scaled down saucer section from Star Trek Generations, which was cool.)
This would look a lot better if it was in focus. I don't like to judge camera work, but wow.... It's hard to even see the model. I understand wanting to give it a cinematic look, but there are limits.
Many incorrect details and several windows looked partially filled \lighted
Update* i preorderd this 2 days after this video came out.
CC cxld my order in December and refunded my money.
Did anyone actually get this model?
At $1700 for the Enterprise D it's not for the casuals.
And at that price I would expect it to be accurate, did these people even watch the show.
That is actually a very reasonable price, some high end model builders want 4 to 6000 dollars, and i can't blame them considering the skill and time required to build, and that's assuming they are in the mood to build at all, they often have day jobs and aren't building at all
Not with the inaccuracy it's not.
This is aimed at the collectables market so actual accuracy is not a concern for the makers. The quality looks dubious also for a high dollar item.
I wish I had 2k just laying around that I could put up on display...
$2000! It’s not perfect. I expect perfection at this price.
I hope the actually production models will have a better finish than that display prototype. You can see pylons are drooping and the windows roughly drilled out and the impulse engine painted over in grey!
Also, it is SO a Generations version. You can easily tell from the little greebly at the aft, top, end of the nacelle. Those were added for Generations.
A descent model but the inconsistency of scale between the enterprise and reliant as well as the inaccuracy of the enterprise model, which he says is based on STTNG, makes me question their vision for the product line.
I just pre order can't waIt
Great model... but what is that awful noise in the background?!
I AM OVER THE MOON Sorry , F ~ Brillant . And who s Birthday Party was in the back ground ?
The seam lines are horrible on this
Wonder if the one in the Picard exhibit was one as well. Great aztec pattern, but horrible seams with no attempt whatsoever to blend them.
lennier1 hopefully this is just a rushed prototype. I’d be really disappointed to spend what they’re probably wanting for this to receive something with jacked up seams and splotchy paint.
@@ukelijah I'd be disappointed to buy this knowing my money would go to CBS.
Does it come with a duster? 😂
Nice model but the warp nacelles are drooping under the weight and the paint has hairs and all sorts stuck in it :( not professional paint job on this one, should of sanded it completely smooth between coats to get that realistic smooth hull finish!
Call me when there's an All Good Things Enterprise display model.
Oh my god, it’s amazing! I want one
The singers in the background sound like they're doing a sad version of Happy Birthday.
At that price, it's no wonder the company went bust.
I'm good with my Aoshima 1/2000 Enterprise-D that lights up just as nice as this 😉
It's expensive because of it being handmade, and a lot of detail in it. Although the detail is not perfect, it's a fairly detailed model.
Noice
"[...]provided by CBS[...]"
And I cringe.
I'm guessing they were located next to the cartoon network booth.
I did notice the Steven Universe music
Yeppp
60cm is too large for non-American households. Is there a comparable 30cm version available for purchase anywhere?
If you can find one Aoshima did a fully lit up model a few years ago which also had saucer seperation.
@UCoQgFKonxr4eyoxE_RIexHg Yes, those go for about half the price of this one, which isn't really a sane price to pay.
Sad this company failed. I want that
@Enohadoland Yea I have been looking at it for the past month. Two things kill me about it. First I have to build it (time is a luxury) and second, it takes over two years to get the entire thing delivered and built.
I don't have any ST stuff in my collection and this would have been perfect. It doesn't look good at all honestly. I'll just have to get the old plastic toys from the 90's.
At $1999.99 I would expect it to look at a lot better
This too can be yours for the low sum of 10.000 dollar...😂
What in God's name is that catterwauling in the beginning?!
The tone-deaf cats in the background need to stop.
It looks so bad I didn't even recognise it as being the TNG Enterprise
Skip past the background 'singing' here: th-cam.com/video/N6a5b-oWfWM/w-d-xo.html
doh! show the Conan!
Yet it’s based on the movie one, with the dusty blue colour scheme and the lifeboats.
