NEVER BEFORE SEEN areas of the STARSHIP ENTERPRISE! 

Shuttle for me, have to enjoy the view!

Shuttle for sure

Dude, you are insane. You are doing exactly what I have been trying to do for years, building a spaceship from blueprints.

and I am 100% with Barclay and McCoy, Transporters scare the hell outta me, shuttles are slower but they're WAY safer

Have you considered doing a FAQ video, just to answer common questions? I've watched several of your videos now and often wondered what your job is - do you do this kind of thing professionally? I'm also wondering how you plan to open up and access the final Enterprise? Are you planning to make it modular so you can pull it apart? I would hope you'll be able to remove each deck, to see an overview of the deck below. It would also be useful to have a few areas that can be opened as cross sections. You know best, of course! By the way, I think newcomers to your videos will be confused about why there's a 1:100 and a 1:25 and why you're building both simultaneously. I think in any videos where you show the 1:100 you should always explain what it's for.

Shuttle, no question.

Coming together beautifully… 😮

Hi Mr Trek my vote is transporter every time. Why wouldn't you. I bet it's a great hangover cure 😎🖖

Love the ideas! 💡🤔

To answer your question: If I were seeing the Big E for the first time, a shuttle tour like Kirk's in TMP is the way to go. Succeeding boarding of the ship can be done by t'porters (unless you want to see the ship again. And again, ad infinitum.) 😀 The idea of the rec deck somehow under the purview of medical is spot on.

Your dedication and enthusiasm are inspiring

Oh, also.. if given a chance I would choose to board by shuttlecraft. Just go get the complete tour, inside and out. However, I'm pretty sure I would like a chance to try the transporter too!!

Great update Mr. T. Definitely the shuttle for me.

A shuttle fly around like in the motion picture!

If I was the Enterprise designer, I would've used ramps instead of stairs there. Easier to transport equipment through, for one. And I'd definitely prefer the shuttle, to be able to see the ship in all her beauty before boarding her 😊

From a logistics standpoint, boarding via the shuttlebay would be easier since it would accomodate large crowds. What would really be cool would be to have a single monorail that looks like the shuttle, then have it glide into the shuttlebay and have people exit. Kind of like a single train car.

By Shuttle. And enjoying that big size of the ship by slowly approaching .

Great update -- it's awesome to see how this continues humming along.

I would love to board the Enterprise while viewing in its drydock in all its glory.

Great stuff.Well done.Eye for detail.Amazing 👍🇬🇧

Bowling alley? swimming pool? If I was boarding the ship. Shuttlebay. But then I was thinking about the Main Gangway. Something we never seen, I would think there would be a nice entrance lobby.

Hi Mr. Trek, I'm in awe of your build and I appreciate your dedication to the original series look. I just wanted to add a note about the transporter room stairs. The ones you've built are definitely from FJ's Blueprints. The ones on the show are more angled. I too have built large scale set pieces from cardboard for a filming project I once did. Please don't take this wrong. It's just a note. I know how important accuracy can be and was wondering if you caught this. Otherwise you're hitting the nail on the head with everything. I'm looking forward to your next update. Mark

YOU NAILED IT! Once again.

I always imagined that the core was simply open, an 11 storey opening. Each deck would have railings and officer quarters would back onto it as would the sick bay, since we know that helps people. In that space would be all sorts of tall trees, vines and water features. I think there are many real world office towers and hotels that do this, and it's really an amazing feature that makes it feel more natural.

Hmm, I never gave much thought to that undercut and how it would affect deck layouts. It seems like wasted space by the designers, but we know it's there so there'd have to be a way to traverse it. It's so interesting physically seeing it!

This is a masterpiece in the making. Outstanding!

For the "First Time", I want the shuttle pod. I want the fly by. Hell Dude, I even want the score playing. The first time is the first time and a fan never forgets his first time. After that, well,,, it'll start to get a little tedious, the transporter room will be fine.

Sounds very good

Be interesting if you added some assorted plastic tubing going between the decks as piping & wiring trunks. (hobby shops have an assortment of round & square tubing available) Just another version of those wonderful GNDN features we saw in the actual corridors during the episodes.

Definatately by shuttle, with the flyby :) ... Also this is coming along brilliantly. Love the detail and work you're putting in to build the whole ship.

This is one of the coolest things on RU-vid, I wish you all the best! PS, the hospital recreation deck idea is great, I would also include an area with different colours as well for mood enhancement 👍🏻

SHUTTLE!! Definitely via SHUTTLE! 👍🏼

the level of detail work on all of this is freaking astounding. Cannot wait to see it finished

Amazing work! i think, if I were going aboard Enterprise, for the first time, I'd definitely have to go by shuttle. It would be one of those "must do" items for any crew, or first time passenger. LOL Thanks for the video. :)

Don’t you ever get overwhelmed with the scale of this task? We do just watching 🤣🤣🤣🇬🇧🌈🙏♥️

Really enjoying this build. I'm not a modeler myself, I'm a drafter - in the UK you'd say "draughtsman" - so I love how you've been drawing things in 2D to use as guides when you assemble the various parts.

Fantastic model. I thought that sick bay was next to the transporter room in the same circular section. At least according to all of deck plans I have.

Great ideas! You’re thinking through things that are really goin*to make this build something truly special! My only suggestion…… Maybe consider a ramp instead of stairs for the access way over the cutout, for accessibility for folks onboard with disability issues. Poor Pike in his “wheelchair” would be at a huge disadvantage! Oh…. and by Shuttlecraft….lol!

Another great video! And that Tom Cruise run just did it!😀

Absolutely amazing! God bless you a whole bunch for what you are doing & for sharing it with the world.

I'm absolutely in awe of your work so far, can't wait to see more! And Tom would be proud of you!🏃‍♂🏃‍♂😃

Awesome model of the Enterprise

Freaking great! The imagination runs wild with what area to be included that were never seen. Sickbay should have a zero gravity treatment area. Imagine if some suffered burns or something, no need to lay in a bed when there could be a zero-g treatment room.

I agree sickbay should have easy access to the recreation deck. The attention to detail in these models is simply astounding and I wish you well on this mission. Also, I would take a shuttle. :)

Liking the wrap around sickbay idea. Extra wards for physiotherapy, burns, radiation etc. Maybe even an arboretum for promoting wellbeing & plants for medical purposes

shuttlecraft for sure. For some reason I always thought that the shuttle landing and take off would be the most exciting way to enter / exit the ship

Arrive by shuttle, depart by transporter.

Absolutely fabulous!!! 🖖

I am loving your posts. I have shared them with others I believe will appreciate them. You had me cracking up with laughter at your humour, but genuine concern for other's health, and your Tommy Cruise run!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Absolutely love your videos and what you’ve been doing as a Star Trek fan all my life. what you’re doing is amazing keep up the monumental project.

Shuttle for sure.. wish I found this in the future so I can see the finished version and go back to see how it is built but I guess I have to learn patience.😢

Nerdrotic has to be told about this. This is incredible.

Shuttle, there's no way you could freaking pay me to get in that transporter!

Thank you for sharing this wonderful tour, going where no model has gone before!

Your model wil be the new, ultimate, definitive blueprint/model of the NCC-1701. Can't wait to see it with my own eyes. And: by shuttle! And.... Level 2 patreon now!

Another awesome video! Totally agree with a multi-level sickbay with wards looking down into the rec-area. Very therapeutic. And maybe a medicine fabrication room, where any drug combination known to the Federation can be instantly molecularly synthesized via Dr. Mccoy's prescription. You can never have enough Cordrazine!

I would prefer to board the ship via shuttle! 😁

Hi super Mr TREK one note about your AMAZING exceptional work. i would avoid step as much as possible, in a future where all is great, wheel chair access ( or floating chair ) would be the norm everywhere ... not only because my lovely daughter is quadriplegic , but captain Pike with is floating chair would love to have access to all possible place in the enterprise... yes i know they have ladder here and there, that is life...anyway i mention it. KEEP having tremendous fun ...your work is fantastic

Good man, your build is already epic. Can't wait to see the further progress. I love your thinking about the much larger sickbay and the connection with the rec area below. If I may borrow a quote from another Enterprise Captain: "Make it so!" And also with the corridor with steps over the undercut: brilliant solution and using steps is good for the health of the crew! As a side note, you really should have a serious word with the original designers of the starship. They made a beautiful model, but that undercut really makes it hard for the engineering of the interior structures. What were they thinking?🤦‍♂ Boarding the ship, certainly for the first time when you're assigned to the Enterprise, is of course only conceivable by shuttle and then with the full scenic tour around the entire ship before entering the shuttle bay. Nice run at the end. Next time you're climbing a tall tower and hang on an airplane? 😅

Such a delight to watch your progress and to see everything! Thank-you.

Impressive work and more so impressive the level of your dedication to this project... a bit jelous you are so motivated. wish i had this much of motivaiton.

👍👍 @Mr. Trek - I'm amazed at your enthusiasm and dedication for a TV show that debuted decades before you were born. I was in high school when Star Trek first aired and I eagerly watched every new episode of the then-brand-new futuristic series. Your detailed model gives such a revealing new perspective of the size of the gigantic starship. And today you showed just how severely undersized that Dr. McCoy's original sickbay was, staff-wise and area-wise. Anyway, keep the updates coming! 😁 BTW your get-off-your-ar$e and get some exercise advice is fantastic! I'm an ancient old guy and I go to the gym 3 or 4 times a week, including 2-3km brisk walks with running intervals. It's truly a fountain of youth for maintaining not just fitness levels, but mobility and balance as well! 😁😁😁

I'd want to walk the gang way plank to the main entrance way port on the main saucer, from the docking station complex attaching to deck 6 or deck seven. Great job!!!!

I would think that there would be a gym with sick bay as a means of physical therapy. I appreciate you revealing internal structural design, though my Enterprise is built for present day use in space and would not have decks laid out the same as the sci fy ship, the supports and curves are similar and the outer hull will have this same practical design, buttoned on, not welded , to allow for thermal expansion. If the time ever comes to begin it, we will need an accurate model revealing all the cutaways and transparencies possible to show tank placements around transit tubes. Good job.

Great advice @ the end! 🏃‍♂️

For the first time, definitely by shuttle. Maybe even the 2nd. After that, let's just get it done and transport me onboard. I've got duties to attend to ya know.

You know, watching these videos, I can´t help wondering if, maybe, somebody gets inspired enough from your great efforts, and actually goes ahead and tries to build this one day, out in orbit, sometime in the future. Wouldn´t that be something. Maybe someone should contact Jeff, Elon and Richard. But of course, we still need the propulsion to move it.🤔 Well maybe their grandkids then. Keep up the good work. 🙂🤠🖖

Your thoughts on the rec deck and sick bay are spot on IMO. I hope you put those office level MSDs to shame! While we're watching your wisdom: what actually is the undercut for? I say warp dynamics but maybe there's some engineering answer.

You should.get a.laser pointer to help you when you do a tour presentation of your build. I would make it much easier to focus the audiences on specific areas without having to touch the model , or obscure the camera shot by reaching into frame.

like i always say just awesome work so much respect

for the cutouts of sickbay to the lower deck, maybe there is enough space in there to put a tree (or more?) this means that there is a tree in the recreation area for people to sit under, have a picnic, etc, and also that people in the sickbay rooms get to look at some greenery. even better if there is a light outside that simulates natural sunlight very well. maybe around the trees there are some planters with fruit growing bushes that people can pick. not because they need it as a food source, but because the activity of picking berries and eating them fresh is a good form of recreation. also i would like to enter the ship by shuttle because then i get to fly through space and see the ship from the outside in all its glory, but if i had to travel in and out of the ship regularly the transporter is better long term.

I do have a couple of comments First: AMAZING, AWESOME, Out of this world!!! Secondly: your "undercut hallway leading from the outer crew quarters ring to the inner sections... I see you have steps going up and down to accommodate the curve. Would not a smooth ramp on either side be a safer more practical and possibly realistic choice? I mean we do see steps on the Enterprise : on the bridge, in engineering, in the transporter room. But steps are also a trip hazard when running to emergency response, steps make moving equipment more difficult, etc. Just an idea. Lastly a question: Are you using the information from the star trek blueprints or the Starfleet Technical Manual for your plans, or something other source? I never had the blueprints so I have no idea how complete or incomplete they are.

I’d like to board The Enterprise in A Shuttle

Great work :)

I love this project! But Mr. T... did you actually say 1/25 scale on the final build?

Love your model 👍 was wondering what you think of Strange New Worlds set designs

Wasn't there a computer core running through the center of the primary hull or is that in the refit?

Amazing! Just wondering if one can get a tiny drone that you could use to fly thru and record each section you have built.

Board by shuttle.

Fantastic work as usual! Kirk looks like he's being attacked by the slimy pancake critters from Deneva :P I'm curious where the labs will be located -- the few instances we saw them in the show they seemed to be just slightly remodeled sick bay sets, but I don't even recall where they were in the old Franz Joseph plans?

Shuttlecraft. All day.

The first time definitely the shuttlecraft. However, if I remember this correctly, wasn't there a direct connection via turbolift when in spacedock?

Shuttlecraft for the win. The transporter wouldn’t allow you to see the ship as you arrived

My only comments/critic is that corridor over the the saucer undercut should be ramped at both ends instead of stairs to ease moving heavy equipment. Also crew below the rank of Ensign did not have individual quarters, according to the books and blueprints available ordinary crew quarters had two to a cabin (bunk beds) and shared a bathroom with another cabin.

That's Neat Man!!!

After 10:33, talking about crew members recovering in Sick Bay having a view in to the recreation area, that brings to mind a thing about medical 'Life Flight' helicopters, some years back it was discovered that orienting the patient where they could see out the helicopter windows increased patient survival.

I'm like bones,don't like be disassembled and put together again.

My choice for boarding the Enterprise would be by catapult.

After this one I guess the 1701d is next.

I think you should use a ramp instead of stairs.

Shuttle

For sure shuttle ... Get atomized? Lave my SOUL... Beind or some shit? No way. Id rather suit up and ride the back of the space whale from TNG. or dawn a jet backpack and grab onto the shuttlepod hatch on the romulan minefield episode of enterprise.

😶😯

CONSIDERATIONS: (1) Probably UNSEEN technology rooms behind/adjacent to (+/or above + below) the transporter pads. (2) There’d be MASSIVE water 💧 tank requirements taking up a lot of space. (Including pumping facilities + probably tanks + facilities for recycling “grey water” 🌫️💧 too.) (3) Substantial space/rooms devoted to HVAC systems, oxygen generators (like on a submarine), + air filtration systems. 4) UNSEEN room for the “dialithium crystals”. 5) UNSEEN rooms that house radar technology (as well as communication/broadcast technology).📡 6) UNSEEN rooms that power + house weapon systems + artillery 7) UNSEEN storage rooms for food 🍱 8) UNSEEN storage rooms for supplies 📦 9) UNSEEN storage rooms for tools 🧰 + weapons 🔫 10) UNSEEN rooms where they store, launch + retrieve probes 🛰️ 11) UNSEEN medical quarantine wards - - with several sterilized ante-rooms before entering. (For both people, aliens 👽 + non-organic/living matter/cargo) 12) Q: Did we ever actually see the original “brig”? (detainment room(s)?) 13) UNSEEN Security HQ 14) UNSEEN exercise rooms (ping pong, indoor track, weights, etc) 15) UNSEEN botanical garden rooms🪴🌳🌱🌳🎍🌲🪻🪷🌲🪴 16) UNSEEN ecology rooms too 🦜🕊️🦋🐛🪲🐝🐢🦎🦆🐦‍⬛ 17) UNSEEN aquariums in the walls 🪸🐟🪼🪸🐠🐡🪸 18) UNSEEN theater room(s) And . . . EXCELLENT (as always) 😊👍🏼👍🏼⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️😎🕊 PS - love the tom cruise run! 🏃🏼‍♂️😄 PPS - maybe a Cmdr Data run? 🏃🏼🤖

Tom Cruise would think it's Mission Impossible to build 1/25 scale US Enterprise😂

Careful with the running, you might wind up in sick bay.

Your comment about getting claustrophobic with single level decks could happen, but won't for the majority of the crew. If you look at a modern submarine, they have no area except in the engine room doesn't have more than 6 ft from the deck to the ceiling.

Through an airlock in a space suit

By shuttle craft.
