- So I have decided to revisit the iconic TOS Enterprise 1701 from Star Trek, but this time designing each deck one by one. This is an animation using Franz Joseph's schematic, Deck 9-24, a fully realized 3D model. Part 2 of 2.
Part 1 of TOS Enterprise NCC 1701
• Star Trek: The most de...
The USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship operated by Starfleet. It was also the first ship to bear the name Enterprise with this registry.
Starfleet commissioned the Enterprise in 2245. Robert April is the Enterprise's first captain, succeeded by Christopher Pike. Pike leads the Enterprise for about a decade Throughout the first live-action, Captain James T. Kirk commands the ship on an exploration mission from 2264 to 2269
USS Enterprise NCC-1701 is a starship in the Star Trek media franchise. Initially, a vision of the potential for human spaceflight, the Enterprise became a popular culture icon and has repeatedly been identified as one of the best-designed and most influential science fiction spacecraft.

It's a real shame that we never got a scene set in the Enterprise's bowling alley. I bet the crew bowling shirts were dope.
Or the swimming pool. But mostly the bowling alley. Wonder if the Refit/A kept mostly the same deck design or layout as the original.
Where's the pro-shop?
One bowling team would be the transporter operators with the logo "Beam Jockies" and I'm trying to think of names for the other departments....🤣
I'm not sure how safe the bowling alley or swimming pool would have been in a battle with the Klingons: people got thrown around quite a lot on the bridge. But imagine the waves in the pool!
@@bike-cave-man2527 Kirk: "Spock. Reduce inertial dampeners by 50%. I'm going for a swim!"
I love the yellow & red radiation warning paint in the Jeffries Tubes-Apparently that's the reason they originally decided to have the warp engines on long pylons, as they figured anything as powerful as an FTL drive would output all kinds of crazy energy flux you'd want to keep far away from the crew. I really appreciate the thought that went into this original design, they totally delved into the 1960s' cutting edge ideas about space travel, from the Bussard hydrogen collectors for reaction mass to the big emitter dish to deflect hypervelocity space debris to a matter-antimatter reactor power source to the smooth outer hull with no parts you'd need an EVA to repair (and even the transporter was only devised because they couldn't afford the FX to land a shuttle every episode). So many people have been inspired to go into science over the last 50+ years because of this strange new show that took the time & effort to imagine a futuristic space vessel that feels like a real machine and might have a spiritual descendant in real life someday (hell, they named the prototype Space Shuttle after it), in an era when that concept still often meant Flash Gordon rocketships (though no doubt it helped that Roddenberry was a WW2 Navy vet who'd served on actual ships).
As a fan from 1966, I have the Franz Josef Blueprints in my collection. Now, this many years later, it is incredible to see those blueprints realized in 3-D as never before. This is extremely well done and reflects a great level of love and respect for the show. As an older fan, I enjoyed seeing all the detail and all the technical aspects laid out in a clear and logical fashion. It made the Franz Josef blueprints really come alive, and the Enterprise gained a much better sense of being a "place" where people work and live. Thank you so much for your incredible work and for sharing it with other fans!!
I bought the Technical Manuel (the Franz Joseph book) in the '70's for 7 dollars. I still have it to this day, still in great condition, because I treat it like an heirloom (in fact I haven't read it in YEARS).
This channel is hideously underrated.
I totally agree. People are missing out on a great channel!!
"Not now , Mr.Spock, ......im trying to bowl an even score."
Ships bowling alley.
Thanks for the compliment.
@@Halfscreen You’re most welcome.
Yes it's excellent. Share links on social media so more people can enjoy! 🙂
These 2 videos brought those blueprints to live. Me and my friends spent countless hours looking though those blueprints. This makes it more lifelike.
And helps illustrate just how big the ship would be. I bought these when they came out in 73 or 74. I still have them along with the technical manual.
Well done! What a treat to see Franz Joseph’s blueprints realized in 3D after all these years. Bravo!!!
Many thanks!
yes, I wish Paramount had stayed true to his designs.
Another excellent job of rendering. Who would’ve known that bowling would still be a thing in the 23rd century. Or that with a little creative adjusting of the artificial gravity, you could lead your team to victory.😜
thanks for watching Leslie.
Seems like a lot of space to devote to a sport that's rather niche to us, and not very good exercise. Bowling must be wildly popular in the 23rd century to warrant its inclusion despite its inefficiency.
Luckily that bowling alley wasn’t at that sweet spot where the artificial gravity cancels out and you can sit on the roof.
The Dude abides
always assumed the bowling alley was thrown in the blueprints as a result of an off-hand reference in the Naked Time episode
It would be cool to see a see-through image of the Enterprise depicting how the turbolift cars make their way through the ship. Imagine seeing just the turboshafts and the cars -- all of them -- with the rest of the ship a nearly-transparent ghost-image, and then to see how Kirk & Spock, getting into the lone turbolift car on the Bridge deck, get all the way down to the lone turbolift on Deck 24. I think I read somewhere that when they get into a turbolift car and say (for example), "Deck 24," from the Bridge, those 2 cars essentially switch places, the one at the bridge zipping through the turboshafts down to Deck 24, and the one from Deck 24 zipping through up to the Bridge, to be used by the next passenger -- presumably, the ship's computer makes sure that there isn't a log-jam of turbocars inside the shafts! There's gotta be a range of times between when a replacement turbocar can get into place at the Bridge, once someone from the Bridge has gotten into that car and begun a journey through that system of tubes to, say, Engineering, or Deck 21, or wherever.
Imagine somebody on Deck 24 who is about to use the only turbolift on that deck, but gets to it just after Kirk has gotten into the Bridge turbolift and told the computer, "Deck 24" . . . initiating the automated process whereby those two furthest-apart turbocars switch places, to resupply the Bridge with an available turbocar. The guy on Deck 24 would have to await the arrival of the car carrying Kirk -- "Oh! Hi, there, Captain, sir!" -- "At ease, Ensign . . . uh, Harriman, isn't it?" -- "Uh, Harrington, sir." -- "Of course, well, carry on, then." -- and I wonder how much the maximum time would be for a trip through the turboshafts across the furthest distance. Would it be furthest from the Bridge to Deck 24? Or maybe from the most forward area in the saucer-section on Deck 6 or 7 all the way 'down' to Deck 24?
Anyway, imagine how crazy it would get if nearly all of the turbocars were in use at the same time, with personnel trying to get every which where, the ship's computer having to calculate how to accommodate every request -- especially if 13 cars were all trying to get to Sickbay, 7 were trying to get to the Bridge, 11 were trying to get to Engineering -- say, if there had just been an attack, and injured people were in need of medical attention and Kirk needed more people helping Scotty to fix damage to the Warp Drive.
It'd sure be cool to see something like that computer-animated with the main lines of the ship transparent, showing only the turboshafts fully, with those cars zipping up and down and sideways, many of them nearly clogging the dorsal 'neck' connecting the two hulls. Okay, Halfscreen, it's up to you, now. Get crackin'!
The real reason is, the blueprints and designer didn't accommodate for that. Sooo... I dunno.
I can't remember where I saw it but the ships all have more cars than just one for each door location. So if you step on the bridge one to go to deck 24 there are more cars behind the bridge one that move into place. So there is no need to wait. The computer is always moving the cars so there is always a car available at each door so eventually a car will get back up to the bridge level to replace the one Kirk took.
McCoy ' whos holdin up the damn elevator'
I’m a forever fan of TOS. These videos are fascinating to me. The amount of work that must have gone into them is incomprehensible. Thank you!
Now, if someone would turn this into a VR walkthrough, I could die a happy man :)
There was a VR project once but Paramount got in the way. They also stopped a VR version of the TNG Enterprise.
I'm thinking of doing a walkthrough or VR version TOS enterprise.
@@Halfscreen There was a project for both but Paramount stopped them if memory serves. One was by Gambit Realm the other was by Stage 9. Just check Stage 9 and the TNG page is still there but no longer available. Gambit Realm has removed all traces of the TOS Enterprise. Fortunately for me I still have the unzipped downloads for both. I just have to get my Vive running again, had serious computer problems then a 2 year house remodel.
@@Halfscreen do a search in TH-cam for Star Trek: NCC1701 Beta Walkthrough and you will find a video on their TOS version.
@@mikethompson2650 I think I found it, but it seems low quality.
You did an amazing job. I used to pour over the blueprints and try to imagine walking the whole ship. This is a wonderful visual.
Thanks!
They put an incredible amount of thoughtfulness into the design of the Enterprise, which I believe is one of the reasons the show is so enduring. Even with limited special effects, they built a world that fans would want to step into. Few TV series put that much detail into their work today. New Trek relies so much nostalgia for older series, and silly gimmicks to draw an audience.
I spent my childhood in the mid-70s poring over the Franz Joseph blueprints and Technical Manual. Thanks for giving me the 3D views I used to only dream of!
I sure hope to see more videos like this one on the ships of the first 6 movies like the Constitution Refit Class,the Oberth Class,the Miranda Class,the Excelsior Class and maybe even on ships of the 23rd century Klingon ships like the D7 class,the K'Tinga Class and the B'Rel Class Bird of Prey now that would be cool to watch.
These videos are so mind-boggling detailed. I love it. Fantastic Job!
Glad you enjoy it!
These are very fascinating. I wonder, knowing what you know now and the skills you have. Maybe you could design and share with us your perfect version of a long endurance exploration cruiser that borrows from all the sci-fi cannons. That could be really fun to do.
I love videos like this that deconstruct massive set pieces from TV shows. Also, now I'm picturing Spock bowling.
the TOS Enterprise. still the best version of the ship in all of Star trek lore and the best ship in all of science fiction! it seems futuristic as well as within the grasp of human ingenuity. and i think i speak for everyone when i say thank you for bringing it to life
Thanks for watching.
I liked the refit from The Motion picture.
@@inhumanmusic1411
yes it is the most popular version.
Excellent work! Thanks so much for spending the time to create this and share it with us.
Glad you enjoyed it, definitely a time consuming project!
Thank you for bringing back some wonderful childhood memories with this great presentation.
I'm an instant fan.
Glad you enjoyed it
You did an incredible job with both the saucer section video & this one. Thank you for bringing those pages to 3D life!
I absolutely love this. Better explanation of the interiors than stupid random moving turbo lifts that go in every direction.
I've been watching ST vids on yt forever. Why am I just now seeing these? You did a great job!🎉
Glad you liked it!! Its all about the YT algo!
Beautifully rendered. Thank you.
Our pleasure!
Waited for part two, very nicely done
Thanks for posting this! I love seeing the 1701's dexks fleshed out in 3D, Bravo!
No problem!
Dude! This is incredible! A complete lovely experience of reification for me. Thank you so much.
Glad you enjoyed it!
The turbo lift system was intriguing and seeing how all those shafts were laid out answered a lot of questions for me. I didn't see a turbo lift maintenance area but there is so much room in the ship I'll say it was just an oversight by the artist. I was also intrigued by:
• The amount of space given to water and waste management
• How little space was given for weaponry
• The redundancy - multiple medical stations, science stations in both main sections, even recreational areas
• The sections dedicated to food preparation, considering the use of food replicators. Maybe the writers had not come up with that idea when the drawings were first completed.
Not just food, but multiple fabrication and machine shops on both hulls. The idea of matter replicators first came about in TNG, but it's a logical extension of the transporter. It's just... HILARIOUSLY power-intensive.
Thanks for all the effort taken to produce these videos of my favourite ship.
No problem!
Kudos! We can definitely say the secondary hull was the "fun" part of the ship :P
man, it's more like a floating apartment complex then an exploration ship. the labs are so small, while the food prep areas are so big, along with the swimming pool and bowling alley... so many people there doing what? regardless of how unrealistic a design the ship is, this video is awesome!!
thanks, considering it was design back in the 1960-70.
Absolutely amazing. Such detail. Incredible video. Thank you very much!
What a beautiful ship. There is nothing like it in all of science fiction
Excellent! Breaths new life and feel to the Blueprint package.
Thank you for all the hard work you put into making these videos. People are really missing out on your wonderful channel!!! 🖖🏻
I appreciate that!
@@Halfscreen You’re most welcome 🖖🏻
A great 2-parter to us long time fans! I can't wait for more of these videos with other ships in the Trek Universe!
I'm still debating on which one to do next. 🙄
I do admire all the work and details involved in this!!
thanks!
TY for the 3D modeling and for posting. It was mush appreciated.
Wow, you did an amazing amount of work for this series. Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Man just watching videos on the T.O.S. Enterprise I can't believe how many conference rooms she had in both the saucer section and the drive section.
Your videos keep getting better and better. Integrating video clips from the show to illustrate exactly what you are talking about is a wonderful addition! You deserve 1m subs easy! Keep it up man and you will get there. We need to get you a shoutout from some bigger creators.
Thanks for the compliments!
Truly well done.
Connies were always a favourite of mine, the fact that they have a swimming pool just solidifies that.
Great tour! Really well produced.
A beautifully rendered look inside the mot beautiful ship in science fiction.
I feel blessed that I could watch this video on Two's Day Tuesday.
Thank you so much for making these videos! The bowling alley was a SHOCK! LOL What a hilarious notion that every time you see the ship getting shaken, those balls and pins would be rolling everywhere! I'm looking forward to exploring your other videos and watching the Enterprise D videos, which is my favorite Enterprise!
I'd like to suggest an idea for a future video (or a series of future videos) - How about you make another version of these 2 videos combined into one, but a short version? It would be something quick, more fast-paced, and more entertaining to non-Trek fans - far less technical and more just like a quick tour of the ship. Here are my thoughts of how this kind of video could look: (this is just an idea):
• Video would be about 3-5 minutes total, something that could be enjoyed by non-Trek fans just as a quick bit of entertainment.
• Call it something like "What's inside the original Enterprise?"
• For the thumbnail, show one of the decks, or something cut away, something that looks technical. You could also overlay the face of Kirk and Spock at the side to make it more clear which Trek series this is.
• For the intro, begin with short clips of episodes showing the bridge, then the transporter room. Say something like "The USS Enterprise is an iconic starship. We've all seen the bridge, the transporter room, and sickbay. But the Enterprise was meant to be a huge ship with 24 decks - so what's inside it? For the first time, this video shows a full 3D breakdown of every deck. This is mostly based on the original technical diagrams approved by Gene Roddenberry, with details from other sources to fill in the gaps.".
• During the intro, use a fun and lively piece of music, then when you begin showing the ship, change music to something a little more serious with a steady pace and rhythm.
• Instead of showing each deck alone in isolation, always show the rest of the ship below, and have the decks disappear one at a time from top to bottom, so you can always see the rest of the ship below the current deck.
• Always have a display in the corner saying "Deck x" so we can always see the current deck
• Have a sound effect when a deck disappears, or when anything happens
• Don't have a still camera, but have the camera always moving and circling slightly, or have the camera slowly flying over the deck from forward to aft, or back.
• Be very creative with camera movement and angles, sometimes dip below to show the ship underneath. Sometimes start far off and circle round while getting closer, stuff like that.
• Each deck should only last about 8 seconds. Don't go into detail about what's on each deck. Nothing technical. Just read a brief list of what's on the deck, maybe with bullet points in the corner of the screen. Maybe highlighting each part while you say it.
• When fun things appear like the park or the bowling alley, acknowledge how shocking and amusing this is. Smile and say something like "Yes - a bowling alley!"
• Every few decks, fade the top of the ship back in slowly, then back out again, to remind us of the overall shape of the ship. Maybe say "x decks down, x more to go"
• Never cut away to clips from episodes. Instead, you can have stills taken from the episodes which show the set, and briefly overlay these images small in the corner of the screen, either fade them in, or animate them moving in from the side.
• At the end, after the last deck, say something like "So that's what's inside the original Enterprise!" and while you say this, quickly build the ship back up again, back up to the top.
• Also, I didn't see any windows in these videos. Maybe you can add windows.

Thanks for the detail suggestion. I will keep it in mind for future animation.
So glad you included the swimming pool and bowling alley. This is my favourite set of blueprints. I would love to see a ST series that captured the full extent of this ship.
Really awesome break down of all the different decks great video my friend really cool 😎 excellent job
Thank you kindly
Awesome job! Thank you for the work on this!
Glad you like it!
What a fantastic job you did with these videos, man. Bravo!!!
Glad you like them Randall and thanks for watching!
The original Enterprise was the one I fell in love back in my childhood. I have those original blueprints (somewhere) but used to fret over them constantly as a preteen...
This channel is really awesome, thanks!
Thanks for for watching!
That was very cool and showed me things I never knew, thx
You did a great job on this, and all your other ones I've seen thus far
Amazing details !!! Fantastic work !!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thank you for this. I never knew what the other decks looks like & that was on them
Really amazing, man. Thanks a bunch
Glad you liked it!
Thank you very much for sharing this.. It is really good !!!
Glad you like it!
Awesome video series! Great job on the 3d modeling.
Thanks a bunch!
Wonderful job. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for creating this!
No worries!
Amazing work!
Just awesome, grew up on the original Star Trek series reruns in the 70's. Love the design of the original the best!
Thanks for your time and for bringing her to life. Could you do Captain Archers Enterprise NX-01 please.
Brilliant work !!! THANK YOU 🖖
Glad you liked it!
Very excellent rendering, very true to the original blueprints. Thank you!
No problem.
Crazy detail 3D model of the TOS Enterprise 1701!
This would be unbelievably awesome in a VR simulation. Great job on this!
That would be cool! I'm thinking about it.
@@Halfscreen
Be careful with that. CBS took down a similar project a few years back.
@@Idazmi7 Yeah. That's why I probably won't be doing it.
Most excellent. Got into some areas we don't often think of. Looking forward to all 78 decks of the Enterprise A next! ;)
Amazing work.
Glad you think so!
my man, these vids are so great! Keep up the awesome work!!!
Thanks, will do!
Beautiful work. I learned a lot, as well.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
An excellent job! Thank you very much! I feel like I've been waiting my whole life for this. As to the hyperbaric chamber: I know it's not on the Franz Joseph blueprints, or the technical manual, but I always imagined that it would be tucked away in a corner of sick bay..
Thanks for watching! There were many thing left out on the schematic.
Amazing work...
Thanks again!
Very nice job. Thank You
Thanks for watching!
Wonderful job.
Another awesome video, well done!! 👍👍
Thanks again!
Great video. Fantastic
Thanks for the visit Jason.
Another job well done! 🖖🏻
Great work!
Thanks!
AMAZING JOB! You really brought the old girl to life.
Great job! I loved it!
Thank you! Cheers!
Outstanding! I've still got this set of prints somewhere. #1 feature of interest was the head on the bridge deck. At any moment behind the drama on the view screen, someone could be just rippin' a few.
A BOWLING ALLEY !
Spock: 'that seems logical'
WOW, this was excellent.
Another fascinating video, great work! Never knew the Enterprise had a bowling alley! 🙂
Glad you enjoyed it!
A bowling alley. Now I know why this is my favorite ship.
Quality work as always 🔥
Thanks 🔥
Hi,HS great video. Thank you
No problem.
What an amazing job. Than you!
B.E.A.U.T.I.F.U.L.!!! Thank you for fulfilling our dreams of actually doing a human compared scale of the Enterprise decks, esp. the neck decks 7-14. I've always wondered what was on those decks!
First, I want to say you did a great job in building a 3D cutaway model of the ship. Based off the blueprints, there are several locations missing from the TV series that were needed to be placed in.
1) Auxiliary Control - I always thought the secondary hull bridge was auxiliary control but the design layout is smaller in comparison. It could be explained that Auxiliary Control was redesigned into a full bridge after the refit but the '74 blueprints are wrong on this point.
2) There are several other locations that were on the show but are missing. Security station, Armory and Brig - all three of these would have been located next to each other somewhere on the Secondary hull with another security station and possibly another pair of 'brig' rooms on the primary hull. 3) In the episode "The Lazarus (Project/Man?)" there a dilithium chamber room just off main engineering that was sabotaged to to have the crystals stolen from
Thanks. There were several thing that were left out on the blueprint, which kind of surprised me and I didn't want to change anything from the original schematic since I wanted to stay true to his design layout.

Awesome! This explains Form me how they get from the saucer section to the secondary hull on an oberth class vessel
Great video. Thank you.
Glad you liked it!
Great presentation!
Thanks for watching
That is amazing! Really gives you a sense of scale, and more importantly, a sense of how many things it would take to keep a starship and her crew running at peak efficiency. I also can't help laughing at the damn bowling alley, that just sounds hilarious to me that the Enteprise has a built-in bowling alley with spectator section included.
Yeah. The bowling alley seem out of place.
@@Halfscreen It sounds like a Spaceballs joke. All it needs is a shopping mall and a circus.
I want these 3D models in a program or app where I can just tap a deck and jump to it, then pan around and just day dream. :) Much like I did as a kid looking through my grandfather's copy of FJ's Star Fleet Technical Manual.
Thanks for this. I have those blue prints. You brought it to life.
Imagine the pool when ever the ship shakes, terrifying
There is a lot more lounging and observing on the ship than I realized.
Great breakdown an overview! I'm not a huge ST fan (I'm a SW guy) but thought this was really detailed and engaging! Good job!
Glad you enjoyed it! Yeah. Most of my content is based on SW but I have noticed a lack of good information relating to ST ships.
I've always loved this type of stuff. I still currently have my TNG blueprints and one of the old starfleet manuals. Even though its all fiction it really helps make it feel more real to know where small never seen things are.
