The original raptor model I built between 2003-2005 was a good model for its time, but unfortunetly the reference used to make her was not. It was renders from Star Trek the Magazine. That was all that was available at the time, but it was missing some very important components. So i decided to re-build her using proper reference this time. As in a 5 view, and renders of the actual filming CGI. I also used renders from Robert Brochunes Raptor CGI to fill in gaps i could not see on the film reference. I am not going to claim 100% accuracy on this model. My goal was to get her “close enough”. It is a gaming model after all. Slated to replace the current Raptor in Star Trek: Continuum. The model is lighted as seen on the ST Magazine, and Brochune renders. However the film CGI, and in both Enterprise episodes we saw her in she was not lighted at all. Her insignia is almost identical to the D-7 with the “7CS” lettering. This is on the reference, and the Axanar model.
