STARSHIP ENTERPRISE MODEL
Starship Enterprise is the
name of several spacecraft in the Star Trek science
fiction franchise. The Enterprise traveled at speeds
measured in multiples of the speed of light. The
fictional ship grossed 190,000 tons, and measured 947
feet long and 417 feet in diameter. The saucer-shaped
hull included 11 decks, and had a crew complement of
430.
The model's principal designer, Walter Jefferies,
created several different ideas for the Enterprise's
design to fit the requirements provided by Star Trek's
creator. To support the final design suggestion,
Jefferies also created a rough 4-inch balsa and
cardboard prototype. A 33-inch "pilot" model mostly of
solid wood was then built by model-maker Richard C.
Datin. Enlarging the plans for that model resulted in
the final 11-foot model.
In
2017, ModelShipMater was commissioned to build two massive models for Jim's Apple
Farm in Minnesota. One of them is a 20-foot long
Starship Enterprise, even larger than the original.

The second model for the
largest candy store in Minnesota is a pirate ship, shown below.
A few years later, a massive USS Missouri and a very
large U-99 sub were
commissioned.
