USS Enterprise AR-Prime Hybrid

Description
We live in an unfortunate age. 90% of everything lately is a remake or reboot or re-imagining or re-something from an idea that originated in someone else's head, a long time ago. Rather than do anything new, the Hollywood and television producers are either throwing their cameras' attention at completely terrible subjects ('reality' TV, anyone?) or taking the stuff that we knew as kids, and giving us an allegedly improved version now that we're all just that little bit older. It truly sucks.

One of the few bright spots has been the JJ Abrams "Star Trek" film released earlier this year. Whether or not you liked the film, you gotta admit that it's nice to see Star Trek actually getting attention again --and new fans, too! We've all expressed our feelings on Ryan Church's design over the past couple months, maybe not in the forums or in a comment, but somewhere. Love it or hate it, unless they make another re-do of the Enterprise in the next movie (and there'll be at least two more), we're going to have to see that version of "the Big E" on screen again.

Jetfreak, however, has applied a rather novel thinking to the entire debate between classic vs old-movies vs new-movie 1701. He's created a unique "AR-Prime" hybrid that uses the frame of the alternate reality created in the 2009 film with a new set of textures largely inspired by the original 1966 "prime" Constitution class. As proof of concept.... it works. As a beautiful ship in its own right.... it sure is.

You're going to want to download this one right now. But after a couple of rather hostile events recently on this very subject, consider this a warning to anyone who comments: discuss Jet's work ONLY in the comments below. Anything else gets edited or deleted in short order.
