This Polar Lights build-up replica is the largest licensed scale reproduction of the Enterprise NX-01. Built in 1/350 scale, this replica measures over 24 inches long and is loaded with details. But the real exciting features of this replica are the stunning metallic pant job and the complex lighting system.

The Replica sits on a custom made Styrene and Brass Display Base. All of the Ships Functions are operated by 6 mini toggle switches. The Ship is Removable from the Display Base. The front of the Base has a brass plaque replica of the Ships dedication plaque located on the bridge.

The lighting system consists of Cold Cathode Fluorescent Lamps, Neon, Incandescent, and a series of LED’s and Fiber Optics. The lights are powered by a 12-volt AC/DC transformer. The warm glow of the Neon tubes provides the unique warp engine illumination. The Cold cathode fluorescent lamps provide the interior illumination. The White LED’s provide the illumination to the fiber optics located on each side of the Entry hatches. For the Bussard collectors, the illuminated motion is provided by 16 incandescent lamps rotating in sequence. The formation lights also flash in an alternating pattern.

The paint scheme was applied with various colors of highly durable automotive paints. Visual Effects painters use these paints for their ability to hold up to the hot stage lights found on motion control stages.

We have taken great steps to accurately reproduce the NX-01.  From the assembly, Paint, Lighting, and Decals, we are very proud of this replica, and are happy to offer it to you.
