The [[studio model]] was a [[Rick Sternbach]] design and built by [[Gregory Jein]]. Jein noted on his build, "''The interesting thing about its crablike appendices is, that we sort of made them like a stop-motion armature so they could be flexible and custom fit any area of the ''Enterprise'' so it looked like it was actually coming close to gripping the model.''" (''[[TNG Season 4 DVD]]'', disc 7, "Select Historical Data"–special) The model, measuring 32 × 73 × 15 inches, was internally lit and was only shot twice at [[Image G]], once for "Family" and once for "Redemption II", its later appearance in "All Good Things..." being stock footage (featuring previously unused footage shot for "Family", that was however, used in the 1991 documentary ''[[The Star Trek Logs: An MTV Big Picture Special Edition]]''). |

The McKinley type was a Starfleet orbital docking facility in use during the 24th century. It was designed for starship construction, refitting and maintenance layovers. (TNG: "Family", "All Good Things..."; VOY: "The Swarm") Facilities of this type were deployed at Earth, Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards, and Starbase 234. (TNG: "Family", "Redemption II"; VOY: "Relativity")

Modeler Dana White and supervisor Dan Curry with the models at Image G.
The studio model was a Rick Sternbach design and built by Gregory Jein. Jein noted on his build, "The interesting thing about its crablike appendices is, that we sort of made them like a stop-motion armature so they could be flexible and custom fit any area of the Enterprise so it looked like it was actually coming close to gripping the model." (TNG Season 4 DVD, disc 7, "Select Historical Data"–special) The model, measuring 32 × 73 × 15 inches, was internally lit and was only shot twice at Image G, once for "Family" and once for "Redemption II", its later appearance in "All Good Things..." being stock footage (featuring previously unused footage shot for "Family", that was however, used in the 1991 documentary The Star Trek Logs: An MTV Big Picture Special Edition).
The physical model was acquired by American collector Adam Schneider as Lot #6250 in the December 2007 It's A Wrap! sale and auction for a winning bid of US$810. Having deteriorated considerably during years of storage, Schneider, with assistance, has restored the model to its former glory. [1] [2]
For its appearance in "Relativity", a CGI model model was constructed at Foundation Imaging by Lee Stringer. Stringer recalled,"About 10 years ago this was the first CGI model I made for ST: Voyager, I had no ref except the episode on VHS! I know what I made was far from the level of detail in the model, but it wasn't going to be seen close up." [3]
