not even my enterprise model is this epically awesome! That is the scale I wanted to build but I had to settle for the 22 inch long version from Star Trek six. feel free to check her out in my gallery.
I'm happier having it now than when that movie came out, it would have been bad had I built it all those years ago. At least now it looks decently good enough to be worth the money I spent on it. lol.
Yeah mine is on a high shelf where things won't get broken. Mine isn't bad the paint job is very basic but it shows what 1701-A basically looked like in the films.
