Chris Bourdier Fri, 27 Feb 2009 20:04:37 +0000 http://www.fireflyshipworks.com/?p=42#comment-2844 Just a small clarification: The 1701-A was not in ST:TMP. It was introduced at the end of ST:TVH after Kirk destroyed the 1701 in ST:TSFS. While the hull shape and details are probably identical to the 1701 from TMP, and it may very well be the exact same filming model, the 1701-A was a newly constructed heavy cruiser that was renamed in honor of Kirk-and-Crew's efforts in saving the Earth yet again. The ship (not the model) used in TMP was supposed to be the ship from the series with new engines and an engineering refit. Of course the production crew built a whole new model for filming, but if you check, you'll find that the registry number in TMP was simply NCC-1701, with no letter following the numbers. The same goes for the Enterprise in ST:TWOK and ST:TSFS. Just a small clarification: The 1701-A was not in ST:TMP. It was introduced at the end of ST:TVH after Kirk destroyed the 1701 in ST:TSFS.

Of course, please keep in mind that the Enterprise Refit is over 34 inches long, and our Serenity is 18 inches, so there's more room the E-Prise for things like teenie, tiny people (although it's my sincere hope to have a couple of millimeter-tall dinos on a particular pilot's console. We'll see how small we can go with the photoetching). Jim – We originally planned to call the Artisan Replicas the "Artisan Filming Miniatures", because the folks at FX are building all our models to the same standards they do for the movies they work on. But, alas, when we did some market testing, almost nobody knew what we were referring to. Must be a generational thing ;-) Hi Tim – that’s the plan.

I am so excited THE FX COMPANY will be painting and assembling Serenity. I love the finish and lighting of the E-Refit, especially the spot lights. The interior detail looks great too, right down to a little Ilia and Decker. This could be a filming miniature. I Love FX Friday's! jim Oh Man, that is amazing work.
