STAR TREK: TNG “EARTH STATION McKINLEY MODEL”

A large model created for Star Trek: The Next Generation which was used as “Earth Station McKinley” and “Starbase 234”. The item is made up of a metal and wood framework with a vacuum formed plastic and molded resin exterior made to appear as a facility with arms clawed underneath for starship docking. The item has a Starfleet blue and a rust red color scheme that is painted on with variously painted details and is fitted with fiber optics generally and their corresponding internal electronic light source. The item is untested and the wires for the lights extend away from the model where the metal brace connects. A tag reads ‘5000volt mini-power supply powered by 12v. DC’. The item is housed inside its own specially crafted wooden crate and was located as is, with significant damage due to time and most likely gravity. One of the arms is completely disconnected, several small items have been broken off but are accompanying. The external model is cracked where the weight of the arms has split the item and hangs on. The item is speculated to be capable of restoration and is an excellent companion piece to other models as it was seen in episodes like “Redemption, Pt. II”, “Unification Pt. I’, “The Best of Both Worlds, Pt. II”, “Family”, and “All Good Things…”, among others. The item measures approx. 32 X 73 X 15 inches and was photographed upside down in its case.
