i never did like the constitution as much as some of the others but that's still pretty cool, I'm not really diggin the red on the nacelles though. it doesn't go with the rest of the color scheme.

I like orange nacelles best

Picard_delta_5 · March 20, 2006, 10:18:24 AM

orange nacelles? what?

They always show the Enterprise with red nacelles when they are orange

This is an artistic rendition of the ship. It's not really suppose to be exactly the way it looks. For that you don't use pewter, you build a model.

Pewter is what the Franklin Mint used to make the ships out of. Originally pewter was made from a composition of lead and tin. Today, the raw materials consist of 95% tin with the balance made up of copper and antimony. And again, the Franklin Mint used this material to make their "artistic" versions of various Trek ships.
