One of the best parts of Star Trek pre 2009 will always be the starships. Artists have been re-imagining the ships for decades and now that The Orville is a success, people are starting to design their own ships for this series as well. This one is from imgur user jolievivienne and they call it the USS Sir Patrick. I can’t wait to see how other people envision The Orville’s ships. This one looks pretty cool. It’s a bit more pulled together than the actual Orville IMO.
This Star Trek Starships Size Comparison video from MetaBallStudios takes a look at many Star Trek ships and compares them. Obviously many of them are not very accurate at all, but it should be noted that even in the various Star Trek series, they never did a great job with scale. But it is still a fun look at many starships. I had forgotten about some of these.
Hold onto your Captain’s chairs Star Trek fans. This is a special treat. This is a conceptual refit of the NX-01 starship in Star Trek Enterprise. It was designed by Doug Drexler and had the show gone on to a fifth season, this ship may have become a reality. The idea is that this ship is a bridge between the original NX-01 and the classic TOS Constitution class. And boy did Doug knock it out of the park! You can explore this ship from every possible angle below.
You know, I often complain that in its later years, Trek got lazy with many of its ship designs. Not all. There were still some neat ships, but at a certain point they started to feel really uninspired. The NX-01 is not bad for what it is. Now that I’ve seen this amazing starship, I really wish they had started that series with this ship. It is a real stunner. You can tell it was designed by a Trek veteran. It has all of the right visual cues that push my buttons as a long time fan. I’m gonna stop gushing now, but I fully admit that I am in love with this ship. Check it out. I’m gonna admire it some more myself.
Thomas Marrone did an amazing job creating this 3D model.
What if the first interstellar spacecraft to be built just happens to be commissioned by the US Navy? And what if its design is inspired by a science-fiction TV show from the sixties? What would that look like? Something like this. And it is amazing. This is one of the most beautiful interpretations of a Constitution class I have ever seen. Much better than the silly ships in JJ Abrams’ Star Trek movies. To all of the future designers, directors and artists out there, this is how you do it!
Your child will be groomed for Starfleet. This is a given, but what about his or her first command? You need a ship that is size appropriate and one that they can get moving despite their lack of knowledge in helm and navigation. This Enterprise rocker is perfect. They can captain the ship and make all of the decisions. Full rock ahead! All stop! Captain to mother, I need changing!
These NECA Cinemachines are great and honestly, I’ve waited for far too many years for toy replicas like this. The second wave of NECA’s die-cast vehicle collectibles is here and this time around they are focusing on the Narcissus shuttle from Alien, the Scout Ship from Predator and the Tribe Ship from Predator 2.
These awesome miniature replicas measure about 5″ to 6″ long and are hand-painted, with some amazing detail. You can buy each ship in the series for roughly $25. each. I can’t wait to see what they will be adding next.
This is a special treat for Babylon 5 fans. Ryan Olsen’s latest build is none other than the EAS Agamemnon. She was one of the first Omega class starships to be built by Earthforce following the Earth-Minbari War and she is a real beauty of a ship. She’s pretty spectacular in LEGO form as well. She is 116 studs long, with plenty of great detail. You can check out more shots on his Flickr page.
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century was a really bad show. Let’s be honest. The 80s were a strange time and a lot of weird stuff happened. Now that doesn’t mean that I don’t have love for this show. It gave us a lot of cool and fun stuff like Twiki, Hawk, and some cool starships. So, bad as it is, it still holds a special place in my heart. That’s why I am drooling over this Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Starfighter Limited Edition 1:24 Scale Statue.
It is cast from the original studio scale patterns and comes fully wired to light the engines and the interior console. It really is a beautiful ship. Buck Rogers is in the cockpit! This stunning replica statue measures 22-inches long x 13-inches wide x 9-inches tall when on the base, and is limited to only 200 pieces worldwide!
Spice up your next poker night with some cards that only a Star Trek fan could love. These Star Trek Ships of the Line Playing Cards are beautiful and each card features a unique ship along with the usual numbers and suits. It doesn’t matter what game you are playing, you will love these playing cards.
They measure about 2 1/2-inches x 3 1/2-inches and sport a linen type finish. They are probably the loveliest cards I have ever seen. Then again, I love Star Trek ships.
You are going to love this collection of behind the scenes photos of the U.S.S. Pasteur. The photos were originally taken by Greg George. Greg designed and built the miniature on his own, before offering it up for use in the final episode of The Next Generation. Now that is dedication. You can see the quality of his work for yourself. There was never a doubt that they would use it.
There are some shots of the blueprints as well as some work in progress shots. She is a lovely ship despite that round front. The original name for the ship was the U.S.S. Olympic, but it was eventually renamed since it was used as a medical vessel.
