Why This Star Trek Starship Was Canonically Painted Yellow

Опубликовано 7 июля 2025, 14:00

Of the many Star Trek starship models we saw at this year's Wonderfest modelmaking show, this is one that's actually a 1:1 prop replica instead of a scaled down model! Eric Gonzalez is one of the Star Trek fans obsessed with this model of the Constellation Class ship seen in Captain Picard's ready room from Star Trek: The Next Generation, and has built this replica using the same source kit parts and greeblies that Rick Sternbach and Andrew Probert did with the original prop! We learn why the production team made chose this distinctive yellow color for the ship, how that fits into Star Trek lore, and why this is one of rare places you'll find Japanese Mecha in Star Trek kitbashing!
