STAR TREK Size Comparison Charts - The Kelvin Timeline

Here is the size chart for the Kelvin Timeline with Starfleet vessels like the JJ Abrams Enterprise and the USS Kelvin. It also includes Spocks ship and the Starfleet Shuttles and Klingon ships.

Here is a size calculation of the USS Enterprise and one for the USS Kelvin.

U.S.S. KELVIN - 1/1000 Kit Review

Recently I bought the model kit of the USS Kelvin in 1/1000.

The upper saucer with the repairs as in the movie. If you want to build a new USS Kelvin, you would have to sand it down.

The lower saucer.

Some details of the side saucer, shuttle bay and the too bulky antenna of the deflector.

The main hull.

The Warp nacelle.

 

Some details of the Warp nacelle and the neck of the main hull.

You can choose if you want to close the weapons or extend them.

The Impulse Engine and Warp nacelle end.

The Deflector Dish.

The decals are very thick. There is one part for a undamaged "new" USS Kelvin and one for a used version. The used version looks almost exactly like the other one. Here I would have liked a variant that has little missing areas in the letters and numbers (and is scratched?).

_______________________________________

For all who are interested in the sizes of the spaceships, HERE is an interesting article. Because the finished model has a total length of 31.3 cm, this plastic model would actually have a 1/1110 scale as calculated by the size of the USS Kelvin.

A model base in the form of a detication plaque.

The model base was changed in the final kit. It was still straight for the prototype - now it's trapezoidal.

Star Trek 2009 & Into Darkness Phaser

New created weapons for the J.J. Abrams Star Trek movies (Kelvin Timeline). I bought them a while ago.

Star Trek (2009) Movie Phaser

The replica has been cast from a first-generation master of the screen-used Phaser. Its solid polystone core is precision metal-plated in several finishes: steel, gunmetal, aluminum block and chrome (to create an exact match of the actual hero phaser used in the movie).

At the end the Phaser got a brighter top in the movie.

Star Trek Into Darkness Movie Phaser

Using the same molds, the manufacturer created a stunning replica. The hero props in the movie have a servo-powered spinner to change the intensity setting from "stun" to "kill." The spinner on the prop replica turns manually and gently locks in place.

The Star Trek Into Darkness Phaser Replica solid polystone core enrobed in metal plating with several finishes: brushed aluminum, gun metal, and chrome.

The Into Darkness Phaser colors are very well based on the original.

Size of the U.S.S. Kelvin - Kelvin Timeline

The alternate Timeline USS Kelvin NCC-0514 was a 23rd century Federation starship, under the command of Captain Richard Rabau.

• The premise for all my deck calculations: a deck is 2.5m + 0.5m for EPS cables, power cables, ... = 3m height for a deck. 
• My calculations follow a purely mathematical approach. I do not compare bridge modules or disk heights with each other. I always pull in decks based on the rows of windows and then calculate a physically plausible room height.

As size reference I used screencaptures of the USS Kelvin from Star Trek (2009). The bridge set of the USS Kelvin was also used for the Kobayashi Maru test.

The height of the 30 decks gives a length of 354m for the USS Kelvin.

The bridge has several small steps / podiums.

This length also works well with the size of the Shuttle Bay.

Size of the new U.S.S. Enterprise - Kelvin Timeline

The Kelvin-Timeline USS Enterprise NCC-1701 was a 23rd century Federation Constitution-class starship, under the command of Captain James T. Kirk.

• The premise for all my deck calculations: a deck is 2.5m + 0.5m for EPS cables, power cables, ... = 3m height for a deck.
• My calculations follow a purely mathematical approach. I do not compare bridge modules or disk heights with each other. I always pull in decks based on the rows of windows and then calculate a physically plausible room height.

As size reference I used screencaptures of the USS Enterprise from Star Trek (2009) and Star Trek Into Darkness:

Lt. Uhura (actress Zoe Saldana) is 1.69m tall. This results in a height of 2.45m for the corridor.

The Enterprise has 25 decks.

With this information I have calculated a length of 466m.

The size of the ship is also reflected in the size of the bridge, which extends over one and a half decks (a human is between 1.80 and 2.00 meters tall).

The only inconsistency is the oversized shuttle bay.
