Eagle eyed readers may have noticed I didn’t post anything for over a month, but I’m back now and off the starting blocks in fine form with this lovely model of the Enterprise XCV-330 by TheNerdyOne_.

This is precursor to the USS Enterprise NCC-1701 only ever glimpsed briefly as a picture in a scene from Star Trek: The Motion Picture. It’s really neat how it’s a totally different design to the Enterprise yet somehow you get that it belongs in the same world. It might be interesting to speculate how NCC-1701 might have turned out if this design prevailed over the saucer/nacelles design…
