1976 TREK article: Enterprise Miniatures
This issue of Trek ("The Magazine For Star Trek Fans") #5, printed in July of 1976, was the second issue that I ever got, and boy, was this magazine a treasure for the Trek-fevered and Trek-starved teen that I was. Unless you lived through the time, and was as devoted to the show as I was, you can't understand the excitement and happiness that finding such a publication as this could bring. A full-color cover photo of my heroes... just awesome! And unless I had been living in Ft. Lauderdale, close to the magazine's publishers, I would never have been able to get them. As it was, I picked them up at the store "Starship Enterprises," a comics and genre collectibles store that I haunted as often as I could get over to it.
Thank you for posting this! What a fantastic, vintage article. Tons of info including a few things even I didn't know, and some great photos. Fred, you are my Main Man for all things Star Trek.

Bernd,
That is indeed a nice model. I have the Estes catalog with that ship on the cover, I'll have to post it soon!
Thanks for posting this article---I have a nice collection of the old Trek/Enterprise magazines, but never obtained number five. Any other good articles in this one? Thanks again. I love your blog!
