A screen-matched, light-up USS Defiant Shuttle 01 model miniature from the sci-fi series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. In the Season 3 episode "Destiny," Sisko (Avery Brooks) and Kira (Nana Visitor) attempted to guide fragments of the Sword of Stars comet through a Bajoran wormhole on the Defiant's shuttlepod. The weathering along the starboard hull plating screen-matches to close-up shots of the shuttle guiding the fragments.

This ornate model miniature is constructed primarily of resin painted gray with details including red stripes, yellow deltas, registry number "NX-74205," and "U.S.S. Defiant Shuttle 01" applied in several places. It features an orange-tinted plastic windshield through which legless Sisko and Nerys miniatures are visible, as well as original neon lights implanted throughout the structure and connected to a gas-powered wiring kit concealed inside the body. The interior is etched "Meininger" for model builder Tony Meininger.

This lot exhibits visible signs of production use, including discoloration and scratching throughout the model. As the model may overheat when illuminated, running the lights for an extended period is not recommended. For long-term preservation and display, the neon lights should be converted to a modern LED system. Dimensions: 16.5" x 12" x 8" (42 cm x 30.5 cm x 20.5 cm)

Contains electronic components; see notice in the Buyer's Guide.

Estimate: $8,000 - 12,000
