Star Trek Enterprise NCC-1701 Refit Project - Recreation Deck

This project is related to the Polar Lights Model kit of the Starship Enterprise NCC-1701 Refit that was depicted in the original Star Trek The Motion Picture. Our intent is to provide a 3D printed model for use in the building of that kit. The 3D resin printed model will be as detailed and accurate as possible in the 1/350 scale. We will also be proving larger scale versions for diorama use and the digital files will be made available as well.

The screenshots posted here are of various stages of the build process. Please feel free to contact us with any questions or comments. Each element will go through several iterations as we learn more about the actual set the scenes were filmed on as well as how that detail relates to 3D printing these models.

This is an early version of the main floor with the side walls placed to start figuring out the placement and scaling of the elements.

Here is a render with an early version of the back wall.

Higher perspective view with adjusted placement of the side walls.

First render with what we believe is the proper placement of the side walls and scaling of the back wall.

Here is a closer view of the tables and chairs. The floor area layout was taken directly for the set plans.

Here is the floor area from another angle.

This view is a lower perspective I used to compare scale and placement with some screenshots from the movie.

The white lighting panels in the side walls will be translucent material so you can back light them in the model.

The white lighting panels in the towers on the back wall will be translucent material so you can back light them in the model.

This is a top-own perspective showing the side wall angle. We're currently placing them at 6-degree angles from the centerline.

Another top-down with a little transparency.

This render shows the back wall with the Screen and the alcove in a relatively good state.

This render shows the separate parts that will be printed to make this scene.

Here we started working on the front/outer wall. This is the wall that is up against the outer hull of the ship.

Here is a view of the lower walkway between the windows and the recreation area floor.

Here is a render showing the initial state of the upper walkway along the outer hull and the windows. it also has the first iteration of the cieling.

Updates to the ceiling geometry.

Test render with Enterprise visible outside the windows. Unfortunately, this one is the wrong Enterprise.

Here is another test render with the correct enterprise visible outside the windows.

Updates to the ceiling geometry.

Test render with new ceiling.

Various views out the windows.

Render with view straight down the centerline of the room.

Added a planer in each corner as depicted in the movie.
