John Tate and USS Enterprise
This scratchbuilt project began
back in the early 1980's. Most of the reference materials at the time were model
kits, blueprints and technical manuals created for Star Trek. There is much more
information and in fact more accurate information available today than ever
before. The best reference of all, the actual filming miniature for the series,
is now on permanent display at the Smithsonian Institute.
My model has been revamped here and there since its initial construction as new
references have become available. This article will go through the stages of the
model's fabrication, broken down into five logical sections:
