Star Trek Enterprise Shuttlepod at Auction with Profiles in History

How much did it sell for?

What about the airlock? He either didnt show that or its not on this model. Either way, 40k for a non-functional replica probably wont be selling.

You would be surprised at what things go for.

Something off Star Trek? An actual vehicle which was used in the show? Especially one that was used in practically every episode? That sucker will sell. I think you missed where this was the actual prop on the show restored. Not just a replica. Some of the lesser filming models from TNG went for tens of thousands of dollars.

@Draknfyre For that kind of money, building one would be easy though

@MrJonnyKilljoy

Depends. Who's going to research every single panel and detail for you? If there was a pubically available document with everything in it, maybe. But if not, you are taking a stab at it, and you are not guaranteed to get it accurate.

Plus, whether you buy those panels from the original company, or replicate (no pun intended) them yourself, it's still going to cost a ton.

@Draknfyre You're right, a lot of hard work went into that shuttle. The buttons and much of it I would just recreate in cad and use my 3d printer to make snap-together portions of it. I didn't quite think it through, but I wouldn't put much value on the intricate details, as I don't really care for them, which is why I would sooner build one myself with 40k than buy one. I guess having been on the actual show adds some serious value as well (not to me though).

It would be cheaper to use the rubber foot pads that they actually used in the show, ready-made, and cheaper. But the panels that were manufacturerd would be more expensive.

The Enterprise-D filming model went for $576,000. So yes, you could say being on the show increases the value. Of course, that was a main ship on a main show, but still, this shuttlepod should clear $40,000 easily.

And I just noticed a massive typo, publically*
