Star Trek

A few years ago, I purchased two AMT\ERTL plastic model kits, 1701-A, & 1701-D. Inside the boxes were 17x24 prints of these two ships. Each has several interior view drawings, and various other highlights, (teleporter, Jeffries tubes, crew quarters, etc.), and a very good drawing of each of the Captains.

My ‘question of the day’ is; how many of these prints were made, how many were embossed, etc.

Thanks in advance for any/all of the info you can supply me with in regards to the above.

Nice prints!  I've never seen those before.

As you said they came with the models so I assume there were quite a few, I even had those one time but they are long gone now. I imagine as in my case lots have been lost over the years but on that same token I don't think they are some lost treasure worth much either. You should put them in a  frame and know you have something moderately interesting to look at.

As far as I’ve been able to find out, AMT/Ertl issued this particular series, sometime after the TNG TV series finished its run.

The problem that I keep running into is that AMT/Ertl sold off its model division, and nobody seems to have any records, or knowledge of what/how much they sold\produced.

As for being 'something moderately interesting to look at', I couldn't disagree more!

Here I Found this on Memory Alpha.

"On the occasion of the 30th Anniversary AMT/Ertl commissioned the production of two cutaway posters of the USS Enterprise-A and USS Enterprise-D and inserted those in their 1995-1996 model kit issues as a bonus. Which one was included was indicated by a sticker on the packaging. The artwork was done by C. Bruce Morser."

It is near the bottom of the following link. If you've never been there Memory Alpha is a pretty good resource.

Thank you, OneDamnMinuteAdmiral, Thank you, with this one lead, you've gotten me farther in this than than any of the sellers, or collectors have combined! Thank you, again!

Don't thank me, thank Memory Alpha I just looked there when I remembered they had some info about some of the Hamilton plate collections another person was asking about in here awhile back. As for numbers I imagine since the run was only for a one year period that it would only number in like the thousands but that is just a guess of course.
