There is a resin conversion kit you can buy for the 18" AMT Enterprise model that will convert it to the damaged Constellation. Runs about 8 bucks. Great looking model.
Since this was made back in 2009 and I run a Star Trek chapter in Florida with all the resources at my disposal, I've not heard anything about a model such as this being put out by ANYONE. A prototype for a one time produced product unless he made it himself.
This may have been mentioned already in previous comments. There are too many to read. But, according to the blueprints and the popular theories prior to the 70s blueprints, the bridge itself is rotated about 30-degrees to port because the turbolift shaft is positioned directly aft on the command dome.
The only problem is the bussards from the onscreen ship didn't have a rotating shaft inside them, they were hollow. The filming model however did have them to create the spinning light effect.
I am impressed with all your work. I myself at this time am working on a Bird of Prey trying to correct all the blunders and so far that seems to be at least 75% of the ship and its details.. But hey isn't that what it's all about.....:)
I made some of these from Art Asylum/Diamond Select ships w metal parts and sold them on ebay for a little while. They came out pretty well. Pretty labor intensive though. Great job.
Folks replicating battle damage like this model has is very easy. Simply tie your model to the back of your car and drag it down the street for about 2 miles, then WA'LAH!.......instant battle damage!
Now THATS what im talking about! Battle Damadge!!! yea baby! when where they gonna be for sale? ill take one of those...the wrath of khann both enterprise and reliant...as well as when enterprise self distructs orbiting the genisis planet.
to me this looks like the original model n i suppose that brownish bit was ment to act as actual battle damage so yea n since u say this is a work in progress i think uve done pretty well so far with the whole model.
It looks like they're simply reissuing the "Enterprise Cutaway" model without the cutaway parts, with the damage added. I actually did the same thing - I took my Enterprise Cutaway model (it was falling apart) and added screen-accurate damage.
You used the wrong AMT kit. You used the 22" kit. The one they used on the TV was the original 18"er kit. Just look at the B deck bridge to see the difference.

Thats a great model. I remember taking a bic lighter to the plastic Testor's Model version in 1977 to get the same effect.

What's with all the brown? The model they used in the 60's was a amt, and they just took a lighter to it....this model is more detail.
