U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-A

3D Model

This model represents the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A (NOT the 1701 refit seen on TMP). She is in her final configuration as seen on Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country. I textured her like the 1701 refit. Then overlayed the 1701-A aztec. The “paint job” is as close as i could get to the ILM re-paint of the 7ft studio model. ILM repainted the original studio model several times over, and destroyed her original pearlescent finish as seen on TMP. The final result is very dull, and lusterless. Despite that you can still see “some” of the original paint job. Is she perfect? Hell No! There is always room for improvement. Plus it’s a low poly gaming model (almost 30k in triangles). Right now i consider her “close enough”. Again she is meant to be rendered in Full View. Not extremely close up. Too many low poly flaws.

Special Thanks to Big Jim Slade for outstanding Blueprints, and Trekmodeler for an awsome paint guide.
