Adam Savage Unboxes Star Trek's USS Enterprise Refit Model!

Adam Savage Unboxes Star Trek's USS Enterprise Refit Model!

Adam Savage’s Tested

0:00 Hey everybody, Adam Savage and Norm Chin in the cave trying not

0:03 to make Star Trek puns about going boldly where no one has gone before.

0:07 Oh my I can't this I'm looking forward to this for so long.

0:11 I'm going to peel behind the curtain and say that as we're filming

0:13 this you and I uh a week ago we were in traveling the whole week.

0:17 Yeah, we're off site and this package from Tomy their Enterprise the motion

0:23 picture the refit enterprise the 1350

0:25 at scale arrived the Friday before we left.

0:28 No, the Friday.

0:30 And so we the whole week of

0:32 knowing it was there.

0:35 Yeah.

0:34 So we're getting it all out today.

0:36 Um like I said, this is the motion picture enterprise.

0:40 We first saw the prototype of this 18 months ago or so.

0:43 Yeah.

0:43 Yeah.

0:44 Chris from Tomy uh came with the the prototype which was like it wasn't diecast.

0:49 No.

0:49 But we asked them, you can watch a video, we'll link to it,

0:51 but like the the challenge of going from the TV show Enterprise,

0:56 which has its own challenges, they they did the saucer separation,

1:00 but the paint just the paint challenge

1:01 of going from that airbrush look to the iridescent

1:09 of what was in the motion picture.

1:10 And afterward, I we didn't know if they could do it.

1:13 It's it's where we learned that they do temple printing.

1:16 Yep.

1:16 For a lot of that stuff and working with, you know,

1:19 a lot of experts in the uh Star Trek model ship space.

1:24 They found the paints and they built the the tooling.

1:28 This and this is one of the hardest models out there.

1:31 Like there's like the the the field of replica spaceships is three decades

1:37 of people who've lost their shirts attempting to make this kind of object.

1:41 Yeah.

1:41 Not only as a complete thing.

1:42 This is a not a kit.

1:44 It's a finished model which we'll we'll get there real soon.

1:46 But even like the kits, right, the polar lights kits is still like the standard.

1:50 And there are some great model makers who do commissions all the time to turn

1:55 the polariz kit into something that looks like

1:57 a filming miniature with all the lights and all.

1:59 I didn't realize that.

2:00 Oh, that's great.

2:00 It's a great business for, you know, experienced model maker to do,

2:03 but you know, most people don't have that time or that money.

2:05 And to remind folks, when they launched this as a like limited time campaign,

2:10 which we told you about.

2:11 Yeah, we did.

2:12 It was 700.

2:13 700 bucks to receive this this this object.

2:18 Yes.

2:18 Okay.

2:18 So, I think I'm going to table it this way.

2:21 Yep.

2:21 You want to pull out?

2:23 Uh, okay.

2:23 I will pull you push.

2:26 Yep.

2:26 Okay.

2:26 Holding.

2:26 Holding.

2:27 Holding.

2:27 Holding.

2:28 There we go.

2:32 Excellent.

2:32 You want to do a slice around?

2:34 I'm going to get this out.

2:36 Oh,

2:36 okay.

2:36 All right.

2:45 There you go.

2:46 And we'll be up front to say, you know,

2:48 it's been a learning experience, I think, for for Tomy as well.

2:52 That original TV show Enterprise,

2:54 which was even like it cost costs even less than this.

2:58 Um, we have one.

3:00 I think the paint job is beautiful.

3:01 The lights are beautiful, but it requires batteries.

3:03 It requires batteries in both the primary and secondary hole.

3:08 Yeah.

3:08 To turn on.

3:08 Yeah.

3:08 And

3:09 so we never have it lit up because it just

3:11 it'll drain the battery and you can't display it with battery in

3:14 and the design of that ship's harder to hide

3:16 the seams and so the screw covers were,

3:18 you know, a little more visible.

3:20 Um the stand was, you know, very present, right?

3:24 And servicing prop collectors is difficult.

3:26 They these objects are hard to replicate by by design.

3:30 Uh ooh good smells, good good volatile organic compounds.

3:35 Oh.

3:38 Woo.

3:39 Look at that.

3:39 Look at that.

3:41 Let's take a look.

3:43 So, we can already see it.

3:44 And I hope the camera can see Aztec.

3:47 It's like many, many layers cuz it's different tones.

3:51 I know.

3:51 I see two or three different

3:52 colors layered in multiple different modalities overlaps.

3:57 The crispness of the the just the decal work, right?

4:01 Or the printing work on on the registry.

4:05 That's hard to align, right?

4:07 the red around the the bold letters.

4:10 That's the stand.

4:11 So, we'll need that for sure.

4:13 This gets lifted up.

4:17 Oh.

4:17 Oh, this is really pretty.

4:20 Oh, and look, it's just meant to be lifted straight out, shall we?

4:23 You want to do it right from right from here?

4:26 Is that really?

4:26 All right.

4:29 Oh, yeah.

4:29 It's substantial.

4:30 It is really substantial.

4:33 Holy cow.

4:34 I think there's a few more things in here.

4:36 Um, right.

4:37 But it just uh So this is something that there was it was

4:44 a question when Chris brought the prototype to us.

4:49 Yeah.

4:48 Um, this one does get powered over USB and so

4:51 it doesn't include the USB C uh plug or cable.

4:55 Um, but power goes through the stand.

4:57 It's not batteries.

4:58 And this is and that's right there.

5:00 So, but before we put that in,

5:02 there are holes for struts that Right.

5:04 Right.

5:04 Right.

5:05 So, I think we'll want to at least try that.

5:08 What's under here?

5:09 These are the struts.

5:12 Okay.

5:12 And they have caps.

5:13 So, I'm going to get all the pieces out here.

5:15 Lay them on the table first.

5:16 I can It has a a bonus accessory,

5:20 which is the Vulcan shuttle that Spock arrives in.

5:24 No,

5:26 it's just a little bonus.

5:27 Yeah.

5:27 Yeah.

5:27 I have some thoughts about about that.

5:29 Okay.

5:29 Let me get this off the table.

5:32 We'll slide this in place.

5:35 Um, I believe I've been following the uh the the the owner groups and the the

5:44 of people who've purchased them and set them up,

5:46 so I have a good sense of where things go.

5:50 Oh, right.

5:50 It's got the thing on top.

5:51 Yeah, this is keyed and this is

5:54 and so this is the contact point.

5:55 This is just plastic.

5:56 It's not soft plastic or anything.

5:58 So, I I don't think it's going to scrape or damage the bottom of the hole,

6:01 but you can certainly put a little bit of moles skin or

6:04 or just a little pad on there.

6:06 I think this is Yeah, that's cute as well.

6:08 Okay,

6:09 so go ahead.

6:10 There we go.

6:11 And let's place this on here.

6:16 That was pretty straightforward.

6:17 And it's just supporting.

6:19 That felt good.

6:19 And I felt like I heard a click almost.

6:22 Yeah.

6:22 And so you could I think when you if you take that off,

6:25 you can see there are contact points, right?

6:26 Yes.

6:27 And this has been a debate.

6:29 I think for example, if we take and remove the struts, I'm just going to go

6:36 I'm sure part of this is like liability if they're they're lawyers, right?

6:41 Right.

6:40 It technically supports it,

6:43 but it leans just a leans forward.

6:46 Right.

6:47 Poor guys.

6:47 Yeah.

6:48 I feel them.

6:49 And I think, you know,

6:50 when I first saw people trying without this, I was wondering,

6:54 you know, Adam, maybe we could like maybe it's a tolerance issue in here.

6:58 Maybe it's having a tighter fit in this hole.

7:01 You can you can do it that way,

7:02 but you really kind of want to take this whole thing and move it though

7:05 and tilt it back because there are contact points, right?

7:08 They're electrical contacts to get power to the lights here.

7:11 Uh people have what they've done is they've done exactly like

7:16 what you thought of they've designed and cut up an a base

7:20 that pitch the whole base.

7:21 Ah that's great.

7:22 So the base is pitched back but the ship is level.

7:26 I think for our purposes let's leave the struts.

7:29 Totally.

7:29 Totally.

7:30 Let's get those in.

7:30 Um and I'm going to grab the You did you grab the Yes.

7:33 There it is.

7:34 Yes.

7:34 Y and even with just one let's say that's

7:36 a beauty sides over there where Josh is filming.

7:39 You know, I would not have just one strut because it does lean.

7:42 You You want to still unfortunately have

7:45 in for a penny, in for a pound.

7:47 Exactly.

7:47 Both.

7:48 And that keeps it nice and level.

7:49 This feels real secure.

7:51 All right.

7:52 I'm just going to plug in power.

7:54 I'm going to assemble the the Vulcan shuttle here, which it's simple.

7:58 It's a simple paint job.

8:00 Just like I think single color with a with some decal.

8:05 And how does this go?

8:07 This goes like this and it's like this.

8:13 Yeah.

8:15 Um Oh, did you touch it?

8:19 I did.

8:20 I touched it and lit it up.

8:23 Oh yeah,

8:24 there's a bootup sequence.

8:26 Did you notice some lights came on first?

8:28 Oh my god.

8:28 Wait a minute.

8:29 I'm looking in.

8:29 Oh my gosh.

8:30 The arboritum.

8:31 The arboritum is so beautiful.

8:34 Can you see through it?

8:35 Yes.

8:35 You can see in through it into it.

8:39 It's dimensional in there.

8:41 There's some uh some some modeling in there, right?

8:45 Yeah.

8:46 Yeah.

8:46 I see uh the shuttle bay.

8:49 This comes back here.

8:50 So, the shuttle bay is is it fully decked out?

8:52 It must be right.

8:53 It's

8:53 Yeah.

8:54 Oh, yeah.

8:54 The shuttle bay is gorgeous.

8:57 Yeah.

8:57 Sorry.

8:57 The shuttle bay is really quite large.

8:58 This is where I have some some extra thoughts.

9:00 the uh last Enterprise they did

9:03 their bonus extra model were a little shuttle craft right

9:07 that you could put inside.

9:08 Yes, I remember

9:09 they they've they've included the

9:11 the Surak here uh because it's that scene.

9:13 It's the scene when Kirk and Scotty, you know,

9:16 Kirk and Scotty fly around the dry dock and they kind of like they behold

9:20 the ship and then uh Spot comes and I

9:24 guess this can separate and it docks, right?

9:28 No.

9:29 Oh, and he's able to walk right onto the bridge.

9:31 Yeah.

9:31 Yeah.

9:32 So, that's the I think I would also have been happy

9:35 with some extra shuttle craft or something um to plug into the the shuttle bay.

9:41 But this is very nice.

9:42 This is nice.

9:42 Yeah, you can we'll display the side by side.

9:45 I'm going to hit the again.

9:46 Let's see.

9:48 Okay.

9:49 So, I think navigation lights just came on.

9:51 Oh,

9:51 we'll need to turn off the lights for this.

9:53 Should we turn off the lights for this?

9:56 Yes.

9:55 All right.

9:57 All right.

9:58 I I just another I want to light we're gonna light this up in a second,

10:01 but um it's lovely to see it in this low light.

10:06 The Aztecing is gorgeous and like I've I've watched my fellow

10:10 colleagues at ILM paint anel of a Star Trek ship.

10:14 I've watched them do this.

10:15 It's so beautiful.

10:16 And this is a really good rendition

10:18 having we have a light right there just to light us but still watch it graze

10:23 the top of the paneling.

10:25 This one, it makes us want to get up close and get real level,

10:28 do those cinematic, the probe lens to get right up close.

10:32 You were pointing out there's interior detail here

10:35 inside there.

10:35 And I don't even remember.

10:37 Okay, we're going to turn this on.

10:38 Here we go.

10:38 Let's see.

10:39 There it goes.

10:39 Oh, light up sequence.

10:42 Yep.

10:46 Right.

10:47 And now this comes up.

10:49 Look at that.

10:49 Okay.

10:50 So, what is this little room, Norm?

10:51 I I think that's the officer's lounge.

10:54 Oh, okay.

10:55 Like where they do the meetings.

10:57 Gotcha.

10:57 Gotcha.

10:58 Arboritum there.

10:59 Shuttle bay in the back.

11:01 No, you don't look into the bridge in this one.

11:04 And I remember Chris telling us.

11:06 So, so there are two things, a couple things of lighting.

11:09 Yeah.

11:08 Uh there different modes.

11:09 So, we're going to go through some of the modes.

11:11 This is just your basic standard lighting.

11:12 You see the deflector dish is like a orange or yellow.

11:15 Oh, yeah.

11:16 Yeah.

11:16 So, we touch it once.

11:17 Ooh.

11:18 N.

11:18 Oh, there goes the blue.

11:20 Oh, that's beautiful.

11:22 So, is that like under under under sail or something?

11:25 Yeah, cuz the impulse engines started lighting up.

11:28 See that that little orange glow?

11:29 Is there a red light in the back?

11:32 Yep.

11:31 Yep.

11:31 So, it's impulse now.

11:33 These are impulse engines.

11:34 I love this light.

11:35 This light's beautiful.

11:38 Yeah.

11:36 If we hit it again now, let's see.

11:40 Did it change?

11:41 I'm hit it one more time.

11:44 Now, this is blue.

11:44 Oh, now the necessels are blue.

11:46 This is the way.

11:47 That's how we

11:49 dude.

11:49 What?

11:51 So, it's accurate to Nayl's light up on the inside, right?

11:54 Uh, two lighting things I want to call out.

11:56 One, we were curious about the diffusion.

12:01 Yep.

12:00 When he brought the prototype, we could see the hot spots.

12:04 Yeah.

12:04 In the nay cells.

12:05 They they address that perfectly.

12:07 It looks continuous.

12:07 Yeah, it looks absolutely continuous.

12:09 It's a really nice glow.

12:10 And also like you have the lights here.

12:12 Just look at how much how much blinking is going.

12:15 Navigational lights.

12:16 You got blinking there.

12:17 And honestly, these are beautiful lights.

12:20 They're they're saturated.

12:22 They're like Yeah.

12:23 They just You see?

12:24 Yeah.

12:25 You got your green and the red.

12:27 Even here as well.

12:28 It just it feels alive.

12:29 Okay.

12:30 Now, we have a button called fire sequence.

12:31 Can we try that?

12:32 Fire control.

12:32 All right.

12:32 We'll tap that.

12:33 We'll look underneath and there's phasers right here.

12:38 Okay.

12:38 There it goes.

12:40 See, do I There's instructions that were not Oh, there it goes.

12:44 Okay.

12:44 Little bit of animation.

12:45 If I double tap it.

12:46 Let's see.

12:47 Oh.

12:47 Uh.

12:48 Oh, there it goes.

12:48 Okay.

12:49 Photon torpedoes.

12:52 Gotcha.

12:52 Dude, that looks so good.

12:54 So, it's an anim short animation sequence.

12:57 Um, did you say that?

12:58 No, I will not say that again.

13:00 Star Trek Computer of the 21st century.

13:03 Um, the other thing I want to call it with lighting

13:06 was they're clearly trying to emulate that dry dock, right?

13:10 Yep.

13:10 Yep.

13:10 So Doug Trumbull's talked about, you know,

13:12 when you watch that really slow meandering amazing sequence of Kirk

13:17 and Scotty flying around the ship because it's the refit.

13:21 You never as a fan

13:22 scale.

13:22 So much scale.

13:23 You never saw the Enterprise looks this way.

13:25 It was a transformed ship.

13:28 They lit that.

13:28 It's was enshrouded in a dock which had like this like like panel lighting.

13:35 Yeah.

13:33 And they use a lot of um dental mirrors, right?

13:37 Spotlights on dental mirrors.

13:38 Do they really

13:39 to get very precise individual lights and I think

13:43 they're trying to emulate that with these spots here.

13:46 They do a lot towards adding a kind of a dry dock sort of scale to it.

13:51 Notice in the back of the ship.

13:55 Yeah.

13:54 They also did it.

13:55 It's harder to see in this light

13:57 by adding translucency panels and lighting from the inside.

14:02 No way.

14:03 So,

14:04 just to get a little more

14:06 That's to emulate a light coming at it.

14:09 Wow.

14:09 But they're simulating because you're not going to get a light from your Right.

14:13 That's amazing.

14:14 What a great idea.

14:15 I really love that.

14:16 Yeah.

14:16 The non-dcast portion,

14:18 they can have just a little bit of translucency in the plastic

14:21 and light it from the inside to light make it look

14:23 That's incredible.

14:24 I I have something to try.

14:25 I've been waiting a long time to try this.

14:27 Like I said, I've been I've been following the uh the owners forums.

14:32 People are modding them.

14:33 They're like, you know,

14:33 there there people patching it up and and and and and making it their own.

14:37 Someone's like released 3D printed files of Shuttlecraft that you can print out,

14:41 which I definitely will at some point,

14:43 but these lights here,

14:46 someone pointed out that they wanted them to look more like actual spotlights,

14:50 right?

14:50 And so they link to, and I'll include a link.

14:52 These are 10 degree lenses that if we put it here,

14:58 you want hand me one and you just hold one over here.

15:00 Let's put one right here.

15:02 Okay.

15:03 And now if you aim it

15:05 Oh, yeah.

15:06 I see.

15:07 Aim it to the front.

15:08 Let's see.

15:09 Having the match.

15:11 See how it looks more like a spotlight?

15:13 Oh, dude.

15:13 That's awesome.

15:15 Yeah.

15:18 Totally.

15:17 I think that does a lot.

15:18 Oh my goodness.

15:19 Plus, you we can you could cut this at an angle

15:22 and get a get it much closer to the LED.

15:24 The mounting is going to be a little tricky.

15:26 How to get mount this because you want it at a very specific angle.

15:30 Yeah.

15:30 But we could figure out what that angle is and just

15:31 make a little 3D printed black something that holds it right there.

15:35 Just like Yeah, that's kind of great.

15:37 That's I got to show you Josh over here.

15:39 If you have this and just focus the light and just have it

15:43 as a spot right above there where it says United Federation of Planets,

15:48 then it looks like a light coming from

15:50 It really does.

15:51 Looks much more than just like an LED.

15:53 It looks like a an actual stage element.

15:57 Yeah, dude.

15:56 That is so beautiful.

15:58 So this is a cool like fan moment.

16:00 I love that

16:01 that I think really like to see it in person I think it really does add

16:06 totally adds a bunch of scale.

16:08 It adds that like specific like angular

16:11 light right there 10 degree angle right there.

16:14 Dude, they had to Aztec every bloody surface of this thing.

16:18 And as I'm looking at it, just the idea of how many notebooks were filled

16:21 with this panel gets this treatment just exhaust me.

16:24 This is amazing.

16:27 And you as you were picking it up, it's it's hefty, right?

16:30 It is.

16:30 It's substantial and feels great.

16:32 Like it gives me actually the substance

16:35 of it gives me confidence about displaying it.

16:37 Right.

16:37 These are these are nice hearty models.

16:41 Yeah.

16:42 The the LEDs will last a long time.

16:46 Yeah.

16:45 Uh from what I've read and understood,

16:47 if we leave it on like this, it has a six-hour cycle

16:52 after six hours.

16:53 That's very respectable.

16:53 So, you know, you you come home, the sun's setting,

16:56 you turn it on, and then have this be

16:58 your mood lighting for your your living room,

17:00 or you know, that's when the prop party's over.

17:02 Exactly.

17:02 Right.

17:03 Everyone's going home.

17:03 The Enterprise is going to sleep.

17:07 Yeah.

17:06 What a thing.

17:09 I I'm looking specifically.

17:11 So, there's this thing I I want to talk about in address.

17:14 Um Yeah.

17:15 As you're looking at this and I'm looking at this,

17:17 I could not be happier with how Yeah.

17:19 this thing turned out.

17:20 Um, some people who've received theirs have

17:23 noticed uh light leaks under the saucer section.

17:26 And I actually don't see any.

17:27 It would be right here.

17:28 Oh, that's where they've been seeing them.

17:29 No, I don't see any there.

17:30 This red navigational light.

17:33 Yeah.

17:32 And up.

17:32 Let me see in the front.

17:34 I've seen pictures of it.

17:35 I don't see like it would be visible, but none none on this model.

17:40 Okay.

17:40 Uh, so

17:42 but some people have been finding they they light leaks

17:45 and they've reached out to customer support and it's been a whole

17:48 thing where Tommy will take them back and we'll patch them up.

17:51 Wow, that's great.

17:52 That's great that they'll do that.

17:54 Uh, other people who have more maybe more experience with modeling,

17:57 they recommend like there's a Valo, you know, spot putty.

18:00 Right.

18:00 Right.

18:00 Right.

18:00 That you can just get it in there.

18:02 Get, you know, you just wipe it on with a damp cloth and it also once it dries,

18:06 it should match the color of this.

18:08 Totally.

18:09 Oh, yeah.

18:09 That's That's not That's not a difficult one to do.

18:11 No, no, no.

18:12 Yeah.

18:16 This is so beautiful.

18:18 This was the one I I know the original Enterprise like people love.

18:22 We saw this one that Smithsonian the filming model they just discovered,

18:26 you know, a couple years ago the this miniature one.

18:29 Yeah.

18:29 Um, but like the whole 80s like what motion picture was 79 79 79

18:36 throughout the 80s all six original Star Trek movies

18:41 this style was the style of the Enterprise and Enterprise A.

18:45 Yeah.

18:44 And I just love the Aztec here.

18:47 This this tells me a very specific era not only

18:49 of like of of science fiction but of Star Trek.

18:52 It really is.

18:53 And it's just it's beautiful.

18:55 The way it kicks light, the form of it.

18:57 It's a gorgeous form.

18:59 Uh the lighting in here, it's my hat is off to them, man.

19:03 This is a hard model to get right.

19:05 And we're doing a lot of Yeah, we're doing a lot cuz it's really fun to do that.

19:10 Honestly, the crispness of the decals is so impressive.

19:14 Yeah, the printing right.

19:15 It's absolutely right.

19:16 Yeah, it's probably tempo printed, right?

19:20 Yeah.

19:20 Real fine text.

19:22 Yeah, the super fine.

19:25 It's so beautiful.

19:26 I know.

19:27 It's so beautiful.

19:30 Uh, also they've I love the uh the blinking

19:34 lights and that they don't perfectly match this one.

19:38 Right.

19:38 It's not at the same sequence.

19:39 Yeah, they haven't done the fully lazy sequence.

19:43 Irregular light patterns, the size of the lights,

19:47 the softness of the interior lights, all that communicates scale.

19:52 Totally.

19:52 Dude, have you looked into the cargo into the the the uh

19:56 the shuttle bay?

19:57 Shuttle bay.

19:57 It's an impressive

19:58 light.

19:59 Oh, that's nice, too.

20:01 There's nice shadow from from the ceiling lights there.

20:06 Yeah.

20:06 Yeah.

20:06 I I want to put some We got to print out some

20:09 Yeah, totally.

20:09 Totally.

20:10 And put them in here.

20:11 What is this like 300 scale?

20:14 That's pretty standard.

20:14 Now, I don't think they're going to do 350 for the Enterprise D.

20:17 Right.

20:17 Right.

20:18 Enterprise D is that would be bigger than this table at 1350 at scale.

20:22 So they might have to fuss that with, you know,

20:24 I think 1800 or 6, you know, 600 800,000 is is common there.

20:28 Uh they haven't announced at this point what

20:30 their campaign is going to be this year.

20:31 They did the the D7 Klingon Birds of Prey last year.

20:35 Um every project feels like they're getting more experience with, you know,

20:41 Star Trek, uh making their ships.

20:43 I would love the Relant.

20:45 Oh my gosh.

20:45 So, I I want to say like sitting back here, the light here isn't that dim.

20:50 Yeah.

20:50 The light in this room.

20:51 And the lights are showing up really nice and strongly.

20:54 Um they're also not not every light looks exactly the same, right?

21:00 As you move across it, there are different levels of brightness,

21:02 which feels like they're realistic windows.

21:05 Uh it's just as a as a lit element, it's really really nicely balanced.

21:11 I think even color temperature

21:13 there's slight difference in what's here in the saucer

21:16 and what's what's in the secondary hall.

21:18 It's a little colder here up here too.

21:20 This is different than this.

21:21 It's different than this.

21:22 There's a thing we got uh we sat with John John Null

21:27 uh months ago for a lunch thing and one of the questions we

21:31 were talking about models and and and Wonderfest and he asked you

21:34 know in your mind's eye what the color in Star Wars of Star

21:38 Destroyer lights and I said oh warm warm white he said no if

21:42 you look at them they're they're all cold white but in your mind

21:44 you think they're warm because of the models that you built

21:47 with the incandescent lights and I think it's the same I don't know

21:52 what using the filming model, right?

21:54 The filming model for the Enterprise refit was colder,

21:57 but this feels right from a watching the movie on TV

22:02 and what a model of the ship should look like.

22:04 I think even you you've lighted on what makes it so difficult to make props

22:07 at this scale for the collecting community specifically because

22:11 you're trying to service the mental image everybody has,

22:14 not necessarily the precision of the thing.

22:17 Obviously, that's where you start,

22:19 but you also recognize as you're executing something like this that everyone has

22:22 their kind of own thing they're going to look for, which is totally fair.

22:26 It's as much the image as it is the feeling.

22:29 Yeah.

22:29 Yeah.

22:29 It is a vibe.

22:30 There was a shared feeling we all had watching Star Trek.

22:33 Different generations, you know, felt different things,

22:36 but I think that the awe and the scale of it.

22:39 I'm uh I'm just putting my camera on cinematic and just like Yeah.

22:47 Yeah.

22:48 every angle.

22:50 Yeah, it's really pretty.

22:57 Dude, absolutely gorgeous.

22:59 And they're not going to make any more.

23:00 No, really.

23:00 That's it.

23:01 This is it.

23:01 That's it.

23:02 Yeah.

23:02 I mean, who knows?

23:04 In the future, maybe the Enterprise A technically would be a different,

23:08 you know, paint scheme uh with the A in the front.

23:11 But like I want them to do different things.

23:14 I mean, we did multiple videos letting people know

23:16 this thing was a was going to be released

23:19 and um I'm I'm so happy for everyone who was was able to get in for 700 bucks.

23:25 Indeed.

23:25 That is an incredible score.

23:27 And these guys building the institutional knowledge to make

23:29 these really difficult and gorgeous models is just a net good.

23:33 Stay stay in this world.

23:36 Totally.

23:35 Stay in the original series, the movies.

23:38 Reliant.

23:38 I want to see, you know, um Yeah, you have a wish list.

23:44 I do.
