As you know from the our last two years of coverage on the topic, the classic USS Enterprise model from the original Star Trek series has undergone a massive renovation and is now back on display at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, D.C.

While there’s a full two-hour documentary on the process coming from the Smithsonian Channel in September – and of course, our series of interviews with the model team – one of the primary contributors to the project, ILM modelmaker and visual effects artist Bill George released a video last night of the intricate repainting process needed to bring the starship back to life.
