Eaglemoss Gold Enterprise-D Is for the Shiny Generation

Posted on 26/10/2020 by Paul Strauss

Perhaps it’s because The Next Generation is my favorite Star Trek series, but I have a particular affinity towards the NCC-1701-D version of the U.S.S. Enterprise that was featured on that show. If you’re a fan of TNG like me, and also like shiny things, then check out this golden model of the starship from Eaglemoss.

This special-edition collectible is erroneously listed as the “NCC-1707-D” on the Eaglemoss Hero Collector website, but it’s most definitely based on the Enterprise, and not some obscure Constitution-class ship seen briefly in Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home.

The die-cast metal collectible is about 5″ long, and would look great sitting on your shelf alongside your other Trek memorabilia. It’s available for $64.95 over at Eaglemoss, where you can also find a golden replica of the original Enterprise, and an XL version of the Enterprise D that’s plated with 18K gold.

‘Star Trek’ virtual tour will recreate every deck of the Enterprise

Posted on 22/09/2015 by Jon Fingas

You've probably seen a few attempts at recreating worlds in game engines, but never at this level of detail. Artist Jason B is working on the Enterprise-D Construction Project, an Unreal Engine-based virtual tour that aims to reproduce all 42 deck...

Star Trek Knuckles Tattoo: All Hands on Deck

Posted on 24/05/2013 by Conner Flynn

I’ve never loved a TV show enough to get a tattoo of it, but if I did, it would be something unique like this knuckle tatt of the U.S.S. Enterprise D. When his hands and fingers are separated, everything is normal, but put them together and you have yourself a mission to explore strange new worlds. Saucer separation has never been easier.

These knuckles belong to Jason Criss. Much like the Enterprise’s ongoing voyages, his tattoo isn’t finished yet. He plans on adding more shading and colors after the initial outline heals.

I think it should be glow in the dark, so he can sit in a dark room and hum the theme song, recreating the intro. Bonus: If he holds a lightsaber, it looks like phaser fire!

Enterprise-D restoration fundraiser goes live: your chance to revive a slice of Star Trek is here

Posted on 09/09/2012 by Jon Fingas

For sci-fi lovers, it's on. A fan-devised project to restore the Enterprise-D bridge from Star Trek: The Experience is now actively raising cash on Indiegogo with a newly estimated $240,000 target needed to make the dream real. Crowdfunding brings the obligatory perks for larger donations, although they take on a progressively nerdy bent once you get past the t-shirts. It peaks at getting replicas of Captain Kirk's original chair or an LCARS terminal, and you can even get a romantic evening on the deck with "complete privacy until the next morning" -- wink, wink. Outlandish? Maybe, but the project is getting official sponsors and has a shorter-term plan to get Captain Picard's chair ready for display by October. The whole bridge should be ready by late 2013. If you'd wished Paramount had preserved this piece of The Next Generation history for the ages, you now have your solution.

Star Trek fans rescue Enterprise-D bridge, plan to restore it to former glory

Posted on 27/08/2012 by Daniel Cooper

A trio of Star Trek: The Next Generation fans have rescued the junked remains of the Enterprise-D bridge from Paramount Pictures, with an eye to restoring it to its former glory. The fibre glass set was built for Star Trek: The Experience, after the original (wooden) set was unsurprisingly destroyed filming Star Trek: Generations. When the group knows how much the project will cost, they'll go to Kickstarter to raise funds, with the hope of exhibiting the set to the public. If you feel you might well-up at the sight of your childhood heroes' home lying in pieces in a parking lot, we advise you not to click on the gallery below, and instead kick in a couple of bucks when their appeal goes live.
