1/350 Scale
Starship U.S.S. Reliant NCC-1864
(new starship version)
Similar to the Reliant as seen in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Similar? Is this some kind of space-madness?
This buildup of the Reliant imagines a brand-new starship, right out of space-dock! The paint is new and the ship has some lighted features that are not visible in the movie. The idea is that this version of Reliant is fully configured for its original mission--defending the colonies and borders of the federation.
Some aspects of the imagined original configuration of the Reliant include...
Lighted rear deflector generators, used to defend and protect the starfighters entering and exiting the shuttle bays. Lighted heat dissipation grilles on the top of the main body used in connection with the rapid deployment of starfighters. Lighted warp core grille panels on the top of the main body used for contingency venting and adjustment of the new experimental warp core. Starfighter craft mini-models that can be placed in the shuttle bay along with the usual shuttlecraft and a special large personnel transport shuttle being tested on the Reliant. Lighted warp nacelles when in warp mode (not seen in the movie). Officer's lounge interior and botanical garden with enlarged space windows, similar to the Refit Enterprise. (Shouldn't the Reliant also have these creature comforts as well?) Visible engineering room interior as seen though the forward maintenance grille on the top of the main body of the starship. Brand new paneling / paint scheme reflecting an iridescent / pearlescent appearance as on the new Refit Enterprise. The space winds and ion storms have not yet dulled the appearance of this brand new version of the Reliant!

Description
The model seen in this build was custom made as a one-of-a-kind build up. The model and display base are remote controlled.
The advanced lighting system features screen-correct blinking strobe lights, flashing navigation lights, special sequential shuttle bay landing lights and three basic modes, "Impulse" mode, "Warp" mode and "High Warp" mode. Other windows and features are lighted as well.
Modes: After turning on the lighting system, the model initially displays basic lighting including windows being lit. Then, as startup continues, the floodlights turn on sequentially, the navigation and strobe lights come on and the deflector dish lights up in a low-power mode. Next, when Impulse mode is activated, the impulse engines and impulse crystal illuminate to full power in an amber / orange color. Next, transitioning to Warp mode will change the deflector dish and impulse crystal to a blue color and the warp nacelles will light up in blue (the impulse engines turn off). Finally, in High Warp mode, the warp nacelles change from blue to violet.
Notes: Details and specifications of lighting system are subject to change, email us for the most up-to-date information.
Lighted features include extensive flood lighting or "beauty lighting" including lighted main registry and secondary registry and well as other lighted areas.
The lighting system is accompanied by sound effect appropriate to each function and mode of the system. View the video to hear the sound programs.
Special Features include: Shuttle Bay with shuttle craft, Officer's lounge, Botanical Garden, Officer's Lounge, Engineering Room and Open Bridge interior via a removable bridge dome. Some of these special features depend on the availability of supplementary 3D printed parts.
The two photon torpedo launch bays light up sequentially with the press of a button on the remote control. The phaser canons will be functional as the two turrets light up with bright effects. These photon torpedo and phaser functions are accompanied by sound effects. See video for a demonstration.
Model utilizes a small self-powered stereo speaker set, a power adapters and remote controls.
