I want a model of the newest Starship Enterprise from the ending of season 3 of Picard. No commercial company is making a scale model but I found the cut one by Dradis101, itself a remake from the original by Frostybird. I further edited the files from Dradis101 by hollowing out the ship parts and making openings for portholes and windows. I opened up the nacelles where it glows blue and made nacelle glow inserts. And the warp exhaust manifolds and bussard collecter I make their own parts. If you have any, I would recommen printing them with clear filament and then doing a tinted wash inside them, blue for the bussard collectors, blue for the manifold. I would also recomment doing the same for the warp nacelle glow inserts with blue. I created a deflector dish, also best is printed with clear filmament and then a blue wash. They can all be printed solid and painted the right color, but it is design to have light sources inside, so the clear filament tinted will give pretty realistic effects. To get a light source inside the nacelles, I made a hollow chamber to run a positive and negative wire through the pylons to get into the nacelles. There is a small 4mm hole in the top and bottom of the AStarboard Forward Engineering section. This is so you can feed power to the light source from either above or below. Use a tiny bit of putty to close the hold not being used. The rear saucer winglets also have slits in them as does the back of the aft saucer sections for you to make impulse engines. For those, I would just cut some clear plastic from a soft drink bottle or something and tint red and place there. Or if you want to take the easy route, you can place semi-transparent take over the cutouts on the inside of the hull parts and do a red wash over them to get the effect. I recomment the tape idea on the inside over all the windows and port holes, this will give the light a nice, diffused look. You can put a drop of clear glue inside the windows if you want it to be a smooth surface where the windows are located. Remember, the crew works in shifts, not all the lights will be on, so for a more realistic look, you may want to use black tape or black paint to paint the back of the tape so that you will have some dark. All good ensigns deserve their beauty sleep after all.The scale is 1/750ish, overlall length is 746mm/29.3 inches, so it should make for a nice display.Revision 1: Edited the forward nacelles. Updating the top detail to more resemble the item in the series.Revision 2: Edited the nacelles to include ribs along the top sections. The Nacelle Middles files and the Nacelle Rear files were affected by this change.Revision 3: Added beacon lights. Included 3mm holes in the Saucer Fore Port and Starboard files if you want to use LEDs. If not, I created a Beacon Lights file. Print it in any PLA and paint them or print them clear and use a tinted clear coat if you are using a single internal white light source. Port beacons should be red, Starboard green. The Saucer Fore Port and Starboard files were affected by this change.Revision 4: Also added beacon lights to the Forward Nacelle and Pylon Ports. Same notes as above for the lights except these should be blue.Revision 5: Also added beacon lights for the Nacelle Rear Port and Starboard file. These light should be white.Revision 6: Added printable trim panels for the saucer and separate thruster pods. Affects the Saucer Fore Port and Starboard files.Revision 7: Added the ribs to the winglets (not sure what the correct term is) on the rear of the saucer. Affects the Aft Starboard and Port Winglet files and the Forward Engineering Port and Starboard files.Revision 8: Added a Shuttle Bay door panel that has seams so it looks like it would open and added lights for landing guidance. Lights should be white or a light blue.Revision 9: Thickened the bussard collectors slightly. Someone mentioned they were having a tough time printing it so thing.Revision 10: Had to thicken the bussards again. Made them pretty much solid this time. If you are printing with clear filament, I added a file, Bussard Turbines, that you can add. Paint them a dark or yellow color, of if you print them clear, coat them with a darker red or a yellow tinted coat (mix food coloring or ink with acylic floor polish and dip it) and with the lights, it will give the effect of being able to see the turbines through the front of the bussards.Revision 11: Had to do a correction of the aft halves of the saucer. There was a gap around part of the impulse reactor slots that I didn't see until I printed one. Just wish I had discovered it before using 1/10th a roll of filament....Revision 12: I edited the glow inserts for the warp nacelles. Usually there is a faint ribbed pattern in them when you see them on screen, so I added runners along it so that it will have that slight wavy, ribbed look.Revision 13: The Shuttle Bay I uploaded had the door built on, I removed it and reuploaded it without the door, you have to use the printed door now.Revision 14: After printing the files myself, I realized the Nacelle Middle Port and Starboard files and the Shuttle Bay file didn't have the clearing for light and wiring, so edited those with openings for that.Revision 15: Like a noob I didn't put channels for the lighting wires from the pylons into the aft Engineering sections, so I updated that.Revision 16: I didn't hollow out the shuttle bay near enough for the light to shine through for the landing beacons, so I hollowed it out a good bit.Revision 17: Repaired an issue with the lettering on the Saucer Fore Port file.
