You'd have to be living on another planet not to know that the New Star Trek Movie is opening on May 8th (actually, 7pm on May 7th now). In conjunction with the upcoming release, various graffiti, FX and pop artists from all over the world have designed their interpretations of the USS Enterprise on 34 inch replicas cast from the actual 3D models made for the film by Industrial Light and Magic. Currently only 17 of the 25 models are available for viewing (but I managed to find one more).

Bonus link: a bunch of cool CGI renderings of potential USS Enterprise Starships that were submitted for consideration for the new movie can be found here.

The 18 models shown here have begun touring the world. They can be found in the various locations as indicated on the images (which can easily be read when clicked upon and enlarged). Please be patient for the photos to load and be sure to enlarge them to see the details.
