In case you missed them, Thomas Sasser has provided new pics of the Polar Lights Refit Enterprise at this forum:

It looks like this model will include full interiors for the shuttle bay, cargo deck, officer’s lounge, botanical garden, and rec deck, along with four shuttles (two of each type), two travel pods, and six workbees. Oh man… my birthdays in late September, better start begging! [:)]
DANG!! That thing is sweet! [bow] Hope they follow thru.
I don’t think there has ever been a model that I have so anxiously waited for as this one![^]
Amazing pictures!

Amen, Here’s hoping that they can follow thru with three more ships in the 1/350 scale for me to have a complete collection in spite of the RC/ERTL buyout. I’m hoping for the TOS Enterprise, Reliant, and a Klingon TMP/K’tinga version of the battlecruiser.
I’ll have to find me a wife who is a star trek fan or loves to collect to have something to bagain with.[:-,]
Just to keep you guys up-to-date…
Thomas Sasser has uploaded 17 new photographs of the prototype. Oh man… I’m sitting here almost with tears in my eyes, humming The Enterprise Theme from Star Trek: The Motion Picture!

having just bought the kit of NX-01 i’m amazed to see this new and bigger/better kit.do you think that it will ever see the light of day in view of the companys present situation? ps.how much will it be?
My all-time favorite Enterprise - and is she ever beautiful!~ Sniff, sniff. . .

I’ll agree with the farmer on that last one! I don’t even care about an interior – I’d definitely bite for a TMP Klingon battlecruiser in this scale, and with this level of detail.
Those pics are new to me, but they really impressed me.
At the risk of sounding like a boob, what’s a workbee?
Larry,
A “workbee” is a small, one-man work vessel used by Starfleet construction & maintenance workers. They were briefly featured in the spacedock scene of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.”

Now if only I could get James Doohan (hope he’s doing OK) to drive me around the nearly finished Enterprise model in a golf cart while I gaze at it’s splendor all googly-eyed (tears welling), it’d be just perfect![;)]
Seriously though, that is absolutely magnificent. [tup]
And Brian, I’ll hum the theme to ST:TMP into your ear while standing behind you.
I really loved the Klingon battlecruiser from TMP. Now that would be a cool model.
has anyone heard any reliable information on a release date.i had originally heard late july 04’ but that was month’s ago.
Absolutely!
Should be out in Oct.
