Presented below are some detailed photos of the topmost command module section from a Phoenix warp drive starship filming model created for the production of Star Trek: First Contact (1996). This model was consigned to the recent Propworx June 2011 Star Trek auction from the collection of Star Trek visual effects artist Doug Drexler, and was painted a flat grey color at its time of sale. It has since been repainted to reflect the correct on-screen appearance of the Phoenix. Some screenshots of this first faster-than-light starship from the feature film are displayed after the modern day images.
