"At over two feet long, the complete model is an exacting replica of the iconic starship from Star Trek: The Next Generation. The legendary Dan Curry, VFX producer on The Next Generation, as well as Deep Space Nine, Voyager, and Enterprise, says that this "beautiful model" was "such good quality that we could have used it for some of the shots we created for The Next Generation. Nowadays visual effects are mostly done with CG. This reminds me of the incredible models we used to work with for traditional effects, which were built by master craftsmen."

Based on a careful study of the different studio models used in filming, the model replicates every last detail of the U.S.S. Enterprise-D, from its phaser strips and RCS thrusters to the Captain's yacht, including:

Expert color-matching to the starship's on-screen appearance
Decals to capture the tiniest details of each component
Saucer and stardrive sections that can be cleanly separated for display, just as seen on screen
Working internal lights that match the original studio model, illuminating the ship's windows, engines, navigation lights, and main deflector
Separate power sources for the stardrive and saucer sections, to keep both lit
