Very nice model, and I know exactly what you mean about slender pylons and
heavy nacelles. The Classic Trek movie Enterprise has always been my
favorite iteration of the ship. I dearly wish I still had my South Bend
electronic Enterprise toy that was reconfigurable. Remember that one?
Check out this link if you don’t, awesome toy, and very hard to find:

Thanks, BTW, we share an affinity for the same ship, the Motion Picture
Enterprise is still a fantastic vessel.
About the electronic Enterprise.
I must admit that I came pretty late to the whole Sci-Fi scene, only one of
the disadvantages of living in The Netherlands. There really is no big fanbase
for Science Fiction or Fantasy, so there aren’t a lot of people who you can
talk to about it, ergo, the availability of SF/Fantasy toys was minor when I
was a little kid.
To cut a long story short, I had never even seen it, until now. Nice!!
Things are improving though and I now have most model kits that are out there.
(what I really want are accurate models of every ship that has ever been used
in every SF movie/tv show ever, incl. animation. All the same scale ofcourse,
for comparison. Like that’s ever gonna happen!!! :-( )

Hi Dirk and Dave,
If you’re interested in a cool Enterprise model, I can heartily recommend
Bandai’s Enterprise model:

They’re right about the colour scheme, it is more subtle than in the photos.
Their Enterprise-E is good too, although the colour scheme isn’t as subtle as
the older Enterprise.
Cheers,

| (...) Hello Paul, Nice model, no paint or glue would save a lot of time in constructing the ship. But I really want to thank you for the link to the shop. They've got some nice stuff in there.
