Studio model
The studio model was a Rick Sternbach design and built by Gregory Jein. The model 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. 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."[1]
The physical model was acquired by American collector Adam Schneider as Lot #6250in the December 2007 It's A Wrap! sale and auction for a winning bid of $810. Having deteriorated considerably during years of storage, Schneider with assistance has restored the model to its former glory.[2][3]
