Great News Rico, I am very happy that it came for you and you are satisfied with it. Looking Forward to the Review
Looks great Rico, I'm glad you are happy with it! The last pics on the RPF were looking rough! Your grid lines are pronounced but not too severe, how are all the identified problem spots?
I posted a few better closeup shots of the trouble areas over on the RPF Bryan in the Enterprise thread going there. I have a few very tiny flaws, but nothing terrible in my book. Certainly nothing worth returning it as a few others have had to do. I'll be doing a full and complete review on an upcoming podcast - of course. It just looks so darn cool all lit up! I love it! :wub
P.S. Oh - I got #0006 of 1250 in the Limited Edition set!

Rico it looks great.. I'm so happy to hear that you got a good one and number 6 of the line.. that's AWESOME. It's cool when good things happen to good people.
Thanks Kenny. I was a bit concerned since there have been a few reports of some problem ones. But I really like it. Now I need a good place to keep it (Lynn says it can't stay on the dining room table - geez - girls!)
That looks pretty fantastic, Rico. It's nice and big. Do you have room for something so large down in your Smithsonian?
I've got a spot picked out. Just need a good table for it and get a cover made. Hello IKEA!
IKEA carries that kind of stuff ?

IKEA has everthing! ;)
wow... thats great... yeah, so i tried to get my dad to buy one.... i think i had him until he saw the $.... lol...
Indeed, that's a very nice piece. I think I'd quite like it, despite preferring the D and E to the original. However, I can't begin to afford it, so it doesn't really matter which I like. Very cool pictures, too.
Congrats Rico! That looks so sweet.
Very cool!
:o
I can't stop looking at this beauty!!

Glad to see you got it! :)
It's a thing of beauty isn't it?
I am very happy for you Rico, You are very luck, as I spoke to Amy at Master Replicas and it will be another 30 to 40 days for the next shipment of LEs to ship, at this rate I will be waiting till Christmas this year.
It is worth the wait!
Wow, just awesome.
Id love to get one, but mine would come with pre signed divorce papers ;)
Deep gratz!
Rico!! Congrats. Shes a beauty! Wish I could have one myself, but I have to live vicariously through you on this one. Cant wait for the collectible review on this.
Beauteous! I love it! I can hear your digital photos screaming to be Photoshoped...the Enterprise should be surrounded by space, not a diningroom. ;)
I bet it would be fun to create a few backgrounds for them.
Contrats! :D
If it'll help things with your wife Rico, you're welcome to keep this beauty at my house!!!

Hmm... you're giving me ideas...

Nice...I like. Did you make the background image or did you grab it online? If you made it, I have one tiny, yet constructive comment...I would remove the sun from the background; the light on Rico's Enterprise is coming from above and in front. Probably outside the shot.
Way cool...
Good job
Awesome ship and awesome pics dude!

Yes, the background is from a wallpaper I made a while back. I didn't feel like moving the flares around. :P :D
Look at it this way: The one star in the background is casting a shadow on the nacells because of the angle, and there is another star, where rico's camera would be, that is lighting up the top of the saucer... it sorta works...
okeydokey. :)
Great work wasd! I'm very impressed. I plan on taking better pics of the ship soon. The first few were just on the day I opened it. I'm going to take many, many more with hopefully a better back ground, etc.
Thanks Rico! Really appreciate it. Can't wait to see more pics! :)
Same here, I'm really enjoying the pictures you've posted. Thanks!
Well, im obviously biased, but I envy you Rico and anyone who can get one of these. I think the original Enterprise, no-refit/no-ABCD, is the best looking ship in Sci-Fi...bar none.
I have a Mirror Universe NX-01 and an unbuilt ST:TMP Enterprise(Polar Lights). Luv the NX and cant wait to build the TMP Ent, but if I had that TOS Ent, I would run around the house like a kid making warp and phaser noises....and of course snag my wife in the tractor beam :-)

Don't you mean "No bloody A...B...C...OR D."? Scotty in the TNG ep "Relics" ;) :D
Yes...I was trying to go there, but at 2am, even the Trek knowledge was gone.
Got my case for my big Enterprise today. Put together a little table for it yesterday. All is good now. She won't get dust all over her. Here are a few pics.....

Must........resist........urge......to.......kick.........Dobby!
The case looks cool! As you say she should stay dust free and pretty now!
Your Case looks great, and really makes your Enterprise look great. High end pieces always look great in a case. Good Stuff Rico
Yeah, something this cool (and expensive) needs a great case to keep it clean and safe.
That is a sweet setup, Rico. How are the lights activated? Do you need to move the case to access the controls?
Is that a proto-Yoda on the left of this pic?
(http://www.treksf.com/images/enterprise/BigE_Case5.jpg)
I'm going to put a tiny hole in the bottom to run the AC adapter cord to the Enterprise. The "Yoda" like thing in the background is Dobby from Harry Potter. Nice piece from Rubies I got about a year ago - for a great price!
Dobby! I should have known that.
The Enterprise looks very nice in that case. Great Stuff you've got there.
WANTED: Big model of The USS Enterprise just like Ricos. Space for showing already made. Willing to pay not very much or will swap twins for this beauty with possibility of their mother thrown in for good measure.
Sweeeeeet man. Haven't listened to your review yet. Do you let the price be known or am I being rude?? ;D
Do you know if there are any plans to make an Enterprise D version.. now that is something I would be will to pay some bucks for.
I have heard no announcement for the "D" Enterprise Kenny. It roughly cost about $1K.
Is that the Sideshow Jabba you got sitting above your Television? I know seeing the pictures of your enterprise in the Case really has me chopping at the bit to get one, unfortunately my wife spent all my money on her trip. So enjoying your pictures and display will have to do for me :)
Here are some photos of My Master Replicas Enterprise. This one came out of space dock right after Ricos. It's Number 0007!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Live Long & Prosper, Artrek

Those are some very cool pics Art.
Your Robot B9 is awesome, where did you get it, I take it was fan made?
Is it the official one (http://www.lostinspacerobot.com/)?
Hi,
The B9 is fan made. the legs (everything from the waste down) are made of wood purchased at my local Home Depot. The torso and the head were purchased in pieces and unfinished from vendors at the B9 Builders club web site. It was because I had a B9 in my living room that I just had to spend the money on the Master Replicas Enterprise so that I could have something from my favorite show on display there too. I mean the Robot is cool but the show has always given me a bit of a headache! A Friend of mine did the lions share of the work on the B9 and you can check out his web site on Cheap B9 building here.

My B9 is B9 2.

Nice...i wish i could buy thoughs babys
