Hahhh! Just got mine today but won't install until tomorrow. Is that the one from pinballrefinery? Also, a question about the Enterprise. Does it vibrate any, like when the autoshooter goes off, does it wobble some? I put an aftermarket one on my pro, and it shutters a little when autoshooter and a little with the vengeance hit. Actually, it's kinda cool because it looks like the Enterprise is interacting. May have to experiment with the mount though.

I have that model as well, but I think I am going to repaint mine before installing it. Looks too much like the toy that it is all shiny and plastic-y. I like your mounting solution.

nice, this is exactly where i installed mine (best place by the way imo) and funny thing bracket looks similar.

also installed the hallmark enterprise, look much better.

You picked a good spot! That is the best possible place you could put it on the LE (IMO). Well done sir, well done.

It will kind of look like the Bird of Prey is shooting the ball at you, cool.

Could you give me the model number of the bracket you used or a link to where to purchase the bracket thanks.

Once you guys figure out how to mod this toy to work with the laser a tutorial on how to do it would be sweet.

Looks like mine! I did the exact same thing to my pin with the exact same thing! Needless to say, I LIKE it!

Does anybody no where to purchase one of those hallmark enterprises that's not $100 bucks (:

They were less expensive about a month ago, but now the craze is on and they are getting harder to find. I just bought one for $60 including shipping (which is still insane for a hallmark ornament), but I think it will look great installed. http://www.twokittensgifts.com/

Nice job on the Bird of Prey, ordered one too from Amazon ($3.95, you can not go wrong); also ordered a Kelvin ship. Here is my mod for the Klingon Battle Cruiser http://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-star-trek-klingon-battle-cruiser-addon may change it out for the Bird of Prey when it arrives, will see which I like better and how hard it will be to add an LED.

paid $49.00 including shipping. it was a black friday sale.

now they seems to be $10.00 more and out of stock.

What kind of bracket did you use - do you have a pic how you mounted it?

I just snagged one off of ebay for $36 w/ free shipping. This is the cheapest I have seen this ornament. That said, I would definitely add the hallmark Enterprise to a Pro, but I don't see the value in adding it to an LE. I have STLE and I was expecting more of a difference from the comments. The Hallmark ornaments are huge improvements over the STTNG ships, but only marginally over the STLE ship. The Hallmark Enterprise is a little more detailed than the original one in the game, but not very noticeable from the player perspective the direction the ship is installed. Plus, the Hallmark Enterprise is quite a bit smaller than the stock ship. I'm probably not going to put it in my game. I am considering either the Kelvin or one of the Klingon ships though.

I have a set of 4 hot wheel for sale $80 shippedimage-910.jpg

Make offer then.

+1 for a picture of the bird of prey bracket or part number.

Hell with that idea then. Still picking up bird of prey tho.

Nicely done. Anybody fancy replacing the vengeance ship with this model

Thanks. Should have my ship in a couple days. Now lets figure out how to add interactive lights (:

Where is the best place to buy the hot wheels bird of prey?

I did indeed add the Pinball Refinery's lit Klingon ship and it looks great! The ship's LED block is tied into the left asteroid's flasher and does hide a bit behind the asteroid itself, but I highly recommend it!

I added the Hallmark USS Kelvin to my STLE and liked it very much. So far I am only keeping it down with museum putty (works great and leaves no marks but dies not look fantastic) but will try and bracket it in.

Pics please

like i said, exactly where mine is now on the pro.
similar bracket, s shape (one side using the screw that goes in the PF, the other side under the ship using a bigger screw in the hole), temporary for now, will make a slimmer bracket later.

also installed the hallmark enterprise using ex metal post (PF side) using the screw side of the post under the ship with a bolt inside the batteries cover to hold it there, works perfectly and you can't see anything, wired to G.I.
but it's a real PITA to get those wires in the ship very very small wires but it works.
take your time doing this... you will need glue! and be careful those small wires!
all i need to do is to change those 2 ex post for a longer one and a new smaller bracket for the bird of prey but it looks good for now.

parts for the hallmark enterprise i used/similar.

I like your mount. What's the specific hardware (post height)? I would like to do mine exactly the same.

Here is a video of the one I just installed in my Pro. Both the cockpit and engine flash with the spinner. I will have lights to add under the wings early next week. I will be selling these and if you like what I do and you want me to retrofit yours I can. The bracket it a prototype. The final bracket should hide any exposed wires. The final bracket with be a light transparent blue. You should be able to face it towards you or away.

yes, will be watching post!

Another pic. Since it is a limited supply I will post them on my site.

Tim - will your Bird of a Prey work with the LE? On Etsy is just references the Pro.

I am just waiting for someone to draw up a bracket that I can 3d print out of transparent blue. Dgoett may do it. Otherwise the hookup should be the same.

Perhaps it is a Trekkie geek thing, but even though I bought one of the Hot Wheels Klingon ships, I have decided not to install it because it throws the correct sense of proportion way off. The Vengeance is supposed to be a huge bad ass ship. Sticking a proportionally oversized Klingon ship next to it diminishes that too much for me personally. Someday, if Hallmark or someone makes a smaller version then I am sure I will add it.

Sure, I wouldn't argue that. I may be wrong, but I don't know of any pinball machine with everything to scale. Is a micromachines more scale?

It's described as a "small" Klingon patrol ship. I haven't found a precise size comparison, but a micro machines size would seem most appropriate. At this point, I don't think there is a micro machines version of this Klingon patrol ship.

That said, I'm not expecting a pinball machine to have everything scaled completely accurately nor the mods people put on a pin, but in this case it's a little too far out of whack for my personal tastes.

There is definitely interest here, the cockpit is orange, engine compartment is red. What color for the underwings?

I added two flasher in STTNG style under the wings.
