An Earth Spacedock study model from the production of Leonard Nimoy's sci-fi sequel Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Following a devastating encounter with Khan Noonien Singh (Ricardo Montalban), the Enterprise returned to the Earth Spacedock for repairs and shore leave. This reference mock-up, which differs slightly from the version seen onscreen, was used to design VFX shots and to determine scale between the ships and the dock.

The maquette is constructed of molded sheet plastic with eight docking bays, plastic antennae, and a wire-supported tiny paper Enterprise entering Dock 1. A metal support beam secures it to a custom display base. A clear acrylic cover is also included.

The study model is in excellent overall condition with minimal signs of discoloration or wear throughout.

Dimensions: 12 1/2" x 12 1/2" x 17 3/4" (31 cm x 31 cm x 45 cm)

Estimate: $6,000 - 8,000
