🖖 Hi, this is Jim from Trek World! Today, we're diving deep into the fascinating world of AMT Starship Enterprise models and their unique appearances in the Star Trek television series. 🚀
These over-the-counter model kits were not just for hobbyists; they were used as filming props due to their low cost and the ability to damage them without harming the more expensive shooting models. We'll explore every shot ever recorded using these models and highlight their significance in the series.
🌌 The most iconic photo of an AMT model kit in Star Trek is the top-down view shown under the title card of the episode "The Doomsday Machine." We'll also look at other shots where these models were used creatively to depict the starship Constellation and its encounters.
📸 The final two shots we'll discuss are where the models were filmed and then composited onto stock footage of the 11-foot model. These rare and amazing photos were taken from 35mm slides sold by Lincoln Enterprises in the 1970s.
Join us on this nostalgic journey as we uncover the hidden gems of Star Trek's production history! 🌠
