Enterprise Box Art Preview

Posted on by

Round 2 released the box art for the upcoming 1:350 scale classic Enterprise, painted by noted comic artist Alex Ross.    Here are some excerpts from their press release:

… celebrated comic book artist Alex Ross has created the box art for its new 1:350 scale Star Trek: the Original Series U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 model kit.   

….brand manager Jamie Hood sought an artist who could do the subject justice. “Alex Ross’ painting has the kind of attention to detail that lends itself perfectly to the Star Trek franchise,” said Hood. “His realistic style of artwork reflects the level of quality that we are trying to attain with this kit. The art looks like it has jumped straight off the screen. We’re thrilled to have the chance to work with Alex on this project and we think he’s the perfect man for the job.”

….This project gave Ross his first chance to work with the Star Trek universe, and he was excited to be a part of the project as well. “I’m a big fan of the original Star Trek series, and this was the perfect opportunity to do an illustration of the icons of the show. It’s a great challenge for me to work with the likenesses of such well-known figures as Shatner, Nimoy and Kelley,” said Ross.

The Standard Edition kit can be preordered in the CultTVman Hobbyshop.  It is currently scheduled for a fall release.
