Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

These are my finished pics of the 1/1000 scale Polar Lights NX-01 Refit kit.

I'll start by relating a little of the history surrounding this vessel.
None of this is canon of course, this ship has not been seen on screen (yet) and I don't think any books have been written about it (yet), so take whatever you read below in the spirit of fun with which it was intended.
Basically, my feeling is, it's my ship so I can make up whatever I want to about it so here we go...

The inital refit of the NX-01 consisted of the addition of a new secondary hull and deflector dish designed to boost power to weapons and increase the ship's range at the outset of the Romulan War in 2156.
The Enterprise served with great distinction during that conflict and engaged in several battles with the enemy.
She was instrumental in bringing an end to the war which ended in an armed truce.
Now that the war is over the Enterprise patrols the frontiers of space keeping close watch over the Neutral Zone; one of it's many duties as the flagship of the fleet.

I'm calling this the NX-01 Refit Year 7 as I've made several modifications to this kit in addition to adding my own lighting system; one could say she's gone thru a few rounds of upgrades since her initial refitting in 2156.
The discerning Trek fan will note the lack of a saucer deflector dish with the installation of new long range sensors with up to 10x the range of the old sensors. This array also functions as a backup navigational deflector for short periods in the event of primary deflector failure.
The aforementioned primary deflector in the secondary hull has been upgraded with a blue glowing deflection field booster located in the outer ring behind the dish.
A new lit dome has been added over the bridge housing an advanced communications array.

Now that you are all up to date on the mods I've made here are the photos of the completed model.

First, there are the obligatory powered down pics so you can all get a good look at her.
More dramatic shots of the ship in full illumination are still in progress but will follow shortly...

Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

That's incredible! At first I thought it was three feet long!

Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

Fantastic job on this beautiful Refit Enterprise... BRAVO !

I hope I could do half this much with my Resin kit bought years ago (made from a Toy I think, with a secondary hull, and all, and... bending translucid warp engines...).

Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

Thanks guys! I'm glad you all like her! This model can really fool you into thinking she's much bigger than she is when you she's in "space" with her lights on.

Here are some more images I created today...

Daedalus

Daedalus by trekriffic, on Flickr

The first Daedalus class ship launched 2 years earlier in the timeline of this image.
I have to say I felt a little wistful when I finished the "Daedalus" composite.
The Columbia class, of which the Enterprise NX refit was the first, for all it's achievements, would eventually be phased out and replaced by the Daedalus class, the first warp 6 ship.
Some 90 years later we would come full circle with the Daedalus class being replaced by the Constitution class.
Then a new Enterprise would again rise to it's rightful position as the flagship of the fleet.

Re: Enterprise NX-01 Refit

Here's a video I took mostly to show some of the flashers in action. Sorry for some of the blurriness and poor audio; my video skills leave something to be desired I'm afraid...
