STAR TREK ENTERPRISE RING SHIP PROP REPLICA FX CINEMA ARTS (QMX Collectibles).

New from QMx is the first starship Enterprise – U.S.S. Enterprise XCV-330.

BACKGROUND

The USS Enterprise (XCV-330), previously the UESP Enterprise (7) and also the SS Enterprise, was the first spacecraft named Enterprise to be designated a starship. The UESP Enterprise was originally built as a Starliner, a manned interstellar probe, by the United Earth Space Probe Agency in the mid-to-late 21st century, as one of Earth’s earliest attempts at interstellar travel.

PRODUCT DETAILS

The U.S.S. Enterprise XCV-330, with its distinctive ring-shaped engines, is a starship of myth, seen only as an illustration or painting — until now.

QMx is thrilled to present an extremely limited edition of this supposed precursor to the U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701.

The XCV-330 was originally conceived by designer Matt Jefferies for Gene Roddenberry’s planned follow-up to Star Trek: The Original Series. Although that show was never greenlit, this amazing retro ship appeared as artwork in the TV series Star Trek: Enterprise and in Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

For the 2013 J.J. Abrams blockbuster Star Trek Into Darkness, their Artisan prop and model shop, QMx FX Cinema Arts, was asked to illustrate the history of starflight in the new Star Trek time line. The 14 filming miniatures they created can be seen stretching across the credenza in Admiral Marcus’ office, starting with the Wright Flyer and ending with the U.S.S. Vengeance.

In the History of Starflight collection, the XCV-330 fills the role of Earth’s first sub-light, interplanetary and interstellar space

MAKING THE PROP REPLICA

QMx built an idealized version of U.S.S. Enterprise Ring Ship for Star Trek Into Darkness (STID) from scratch by hand. It is a unique, one-of-a-kind miniature.

When developing the collectible model, QMx FX Cinema Arts combined elements of 3-D files supplied to them by digital artist Mark Rademaker with the filming miniature used in STID to create a final model that is both modern and retro, and looks entirely functional and believable. Rademaker’s Ring Ship design, which takes Jefferies’ original drawings and renders them into a much more realistic, modern ship, can be seen in the 2011 Star Trek Ships of the Line Calendar.

CONSTRUCTION

Their custom-built Enterprise Ring Ship Artisan Replica BY FX Cinema Arts is made of cast resin and is reinforced with a metal armature. It is hand painted with colors taken from both the Star Trek: The Original Series Enterprise and the Star Trek (2009) Enterprise.

Externally and inside the ring, the QMx Enterprise Ring Ship Artisan Replica has been carefully masked and hand painted with multiple layers of automotive paint to create a textured Aztec pattern.

The ring measures approximately 7.75 inches in diameter. The ship is 12 inches long and is 13 inches high when placed on the included custom-built display stand. The display stand is cast from the same molds as the stand seen in Star Trek Into Darkness.

The QMx Enterprise Ring Ship Artisan Replica is a static model, with no lights or electronics.

ARTISAN REPLICA

Each QMx Enterprise Ring Ship Artisan Replica has been built by the same artisans who built the Enterprise Ring Ship for Star Trek Into Darkness. Each ship in this limited edition of 25 comes with a numbered plaque.

SHIPPING

The Artisan Ring Ship and display stand are packed in individual foam-padded boxes that are placed together in an another larger box for added protection
