Where can I find decent metal models of the Enterprise?
Specifically, NCC1701-D. A fairly large, preferably die cast one that would look good on a coffee table.

How large? The eaglemont mag version is really good at about 4 inches, 12cm long.

Do you have a link for this? A quick search does not turn up anything relevant...

I found this die-cast Enterprise D, however it's only 5.5 inches long. I'm afraid I can't find anything larger.

Thanks.
It's not what I'm looking for, but I think what I'm looking for doesn't exist.

That would be quite a shame. It's such an iconic part of the captain's ready room making it a wonderful way to display your appreciation for the show.
Some metal-workers can be hired to do custom work, perhaps there's an option there.

If you don't specifically want metal, there are some very high-quality pre-built model kits available, like the Aoshima Enterprise-D light up model which is an excellent display piece with almost no assembly (batteries and some screw covers). It comes with a display stand. ^(EDIT: I just noticed there are some erroneous mages in that video - towards the end, the images with persex decks within the ship are of a completely different, and sadly unavailable, model.)

Not what you're looking for, but you could just grab one of the plastic model kits, assemble it and spray it in a metallic color. Then just apply the registry decals and clear coat it.

Thats amazing, but unsure I would want to spend two weeks pay on a model.. :/
I think the Connie Refit costs more. Check it out.
