(2007) 1:650 Star Trek: Nemesis – Enterprise 1701-E (2007 Cast #001, Incarnation #001)

This 41 inch model was mastered by Richard Long in 2005-2006, and this was the very first cast kit from his patterns. Though it was the first cast in the world of this model kit, it was the third to be built and finished. The first two to be built (Casts #002 and #003) were finished by ILM artist John Eblan, under his company banner of “The FX Company”. This build (shown here in this posting) was painted to replicate the USS Enterprise we viewed in Star Trek: Nemesis, and at the time was one of the most complex paint schemes of any Enterprise (aside from The Motion Picture Enterprise studio model). The model used for filming the movie was a CG model, and therefore did not exist physically. We were able to obtain the CG files to closely replicate what we saw on film. Due to unforeseen mishaps over the years, eventually this model would undergo FOUR Incarnations of existence using the very same Cast parts that it was made from in the beginning. The model you see in these photos is the very first incarnation of this fine miniature.
