Yup. Double meaning to "Under Construction"

This may not be the actual, factual thing.  It looks very much like Gabe Koerner's work who I think has claimed that he is not the modeler for the new Trek movie, despite being an effects professional who has worked on various sci-fi shows and movies.




Cool movie showing the concept in action:

it looks to me that the new Enterprise has much straighter text on the saucer than the old.
Also, not sure how many decks are in the bridge section of the old, but there seems to be at least 5 decks and an entire wall made up of screens on one part.
The side of the nacelles have an almost flowing ridge like appearence of a Minbari Sharlin Class.

Either way, I can't wait to see the trailer....... and of course the film!!

God said to the Welsh: 'I am going to give you this glorious land of lakes and mountains.' So where's the catch, asked the Welsh? 'Wait until you see the neighbours,' replied God.

The Pike Enterprise had a much taller bridge module.  That was one of the things they changed from the Cage Enterprise and the regular series production Enterprise.  I always missed the spike extensions on the Bussard collectors.
