“This model was built in 1980 when I was 20 years old,” Joe says. “It sat in a box for almost 40 years before I pulled it out and disassembled it to be rebuilt and repainted.” In addition to a new resin bridge, navigational deflector, and photo-etched metal details, his refit of the Refit USS Enterprise from Star Trek the Motion Picture includes five colors of shimmering ink applied over white paint and masks for the distinctive Aztec surface pattern.
