Since it ’s goggle box debut in 1966 , the 11 - fundament model has been “ treated ” three times – in 1974 , 1984 , and 1992 . The current restoration comes more than 20 years after the last major drive in 1992 overseen byScience Fiction Modelmaking Associates , who also brought you many of our beloved TNG props and model . The 1992 job caused some controversy in the buff community over the paint that was applied .
