Right now the original 1965 built model of the USS-ENTERPRISE is currently being restored by the Smithsonian to be hung in its Air and Space Museum. The model was designed by Star Trek’s Art Director Matt Jefferies. Recently the model was shown to the press to show the needed restoration. I was amazed how large and detailed it was, even in its unrestored state. I grew up with this model and it always seemed like its own heroic character in the show. So I took actual photos of the model as it is today and re-composited the photos into the Star Trek feature film shots. I think the model still holds up beautifully, especially when it is properly lit and the ship’s lights are illuminated. I did my best to replicate the proper lighting and look of the ship when I composited it into these famous Star Trek movie scenes.
