Was that the TPZ run a few years back? That is where I got mine.Here are some great photos of the original from the Smithsonian
Model, Starship Enterprise, in clear plastic block, "Star Trek"
This Starship Enterprise miniature model in a clear plastic block was a prop used in the original Star Trek television series, which aired from 1966-1969.airandspace.si.edu
Here is the plan I did back in 2017 that I believe Gary used for his replicas.

Enterprise from Catspaw

I completely get them selling this, and I get the 100 dollar price tag. I know that casing something in acrylic is very difficult to do and not get any bubbles in it. However, for me, I’ll pass. This entire Hallmark display cost me 16.00 total. If Hallmark had not made this, perhaps I would be more inclined to buy the FE one.

Yeah I think it was "Nicksdad" that did a run on TPZ a few years ago (click Flickr link):

you mean Nicks Dad aka Gary Tierce? I was on that list but I think it fizzled out before he got to me.Nick Tierce did one. I don't think it was quite 10 years ago. I have one of his. Spot on, at least to my eye.
The FE one in acrylic I just bought (because, just to have) sure looks a lot like it.
And my wife was just saying the other day when she bought something At Williams Sonoma I balked at: "this from the man with 7 Enterprises". Eight now (it we limit to 3 dimensional manifestations, anyway).
I'm sure that is far from a record around here...

Yeah, my bad, there.
I ordered one of the FE "acrylic block encased" pieces, will be real curious to see how the Enterprise within compares to his version.

Not too impressed. The ship is sitting at a nose high angle, it's not set deep enough, the nacelles are not aligned with the saucer and misaligned with themselves. There is a some kind of pour line visible running all around the top. Pooh. Box in came in is nice. Oh well. Let's see if others get better and I got a dud. Seems oversized. Larger than the one I got on a run not in cube. Looking at the neck it's oversized.
