See The Restoration of STAR TREK's Original Starship Enterprise in New Video
Not long ago, Mick shared a video showing off the restored version of Star Trek's original U.S.S. Enterprise that's currently on display at the Smithsonian in Washington, DC. Now William George has created a short film called Spacedock that gives us a detailed look into the restoration process. The artists who worked on this are clearly just as passionate about the intricacies of the ship as any diehard Trek fan, and it's cool to see all the work that went into bringing the ship back to its former glory.
This is a short film showing the process of the detail paint work on the conservation of the original U.S.S. Enterprise miniature, used in all 79 episodes of the original Star Trek television series. The detail paint work was done between the 11th and the 23rd of April 2016 at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum’s Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, Virginia. The model is now on display in the Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall at the National Air and Space Museum in Washington D.C.
