This is pretty cool. My local Hallmark store called this morning to let me know the three Enterprise G ornaments I ordered have arrived. New for 2026, these diecast metal (with plastic pylons and nacelles) ships come on the heels of last year’s Titan-A. These have an overall metallic silver finish with black printed registries and pennants.
Bill Krause is a model maker and video/photography producer from Ohio, and contributor to the Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar series, under the aegis of its editor-in-chief, Star Trek veteran Doug Drexler. An accomplished model maker, Krause came to the attention of Drexler when he entered two Star Trek-themed (physical) starship models into the May 2015 Louisville, Ky, “WonderFest” model competition.
Drexler’s close friend and likewise veteran co-worker on numerous Star Trek productions including Star Trek: Picard and WonderFest regular, John Eaves, brought Krause to the attention of Dave Blass, the production designer on Picard‘s second, and third seasons. Krause became officially involved in the production, albeit uncredited, when he was hired by Blass once he had decided that the conference lounges of both the USS Stargazer and the USS Titan-A warranted the presence of golden legacy models, and whose construction Blass entrusted to Krause, who in the process created the Radiant-class as one of the Stargazer legacy models.
Additionally, he co-designed the USS Titan herself with his sponsor Drexler as a Constitution III-class vessel, which was in effect a refinement of his own Shangri-La-class, the class-vessel model Krause had, as one of his submissions, entered into the 2015 WonderFest model competition, and which had brought him to the attention of Drexler in the first place.
