^ I've got the NX Prototype twice (Alpha and Beta, so to speak). I see no slanting. The nacelles and pylons are perfectly even.
Actually, Eaglemoss has been doing a great job with keeping the nacelles even on the various ships. Johnny Lightning was less successful (NX class, anyone).
Today, got 3 models to Merry Little England.
A Gorn
D'draig-class warship (class name from STO). Metal grey with subtle but thorough texturing. Nacelle ramscoops are purple. The 3 lower nacelles/tubes are red at the back.
Notes: The model is light. I can see the lines between metal and plastic but cannot tell which is which.
Possibly in scale to issue 50.
Remarkable differences: The magazine shows 3 different CGI models. 1 has a purplish-pink 'front window', and the model we got lacks a pair of short rear tubes. These tubes are present on the WizKids model.
Modifications: With a pen, I made the upper nacelles red at the back, too. Also, painted the 'front window' red and blue to make it purple.
If you remove the upper pair of nacelles, you recreate the Gorn frigate seen in STO. I'll get to it when I get a 2nd
D'draig.
UTS
Aeon, a Model 82/
Epoch-class timeship. Looked unflatteringly flat on the underside. The model shows volume, however. Sometimes, I only learn to understand a ship when I get the model. The bottom is metal, the top plastic. I found the design boring - until now.
The pink engine spheres are see-through. Love it.
Modification: empty ventral deflector space. Painted it blue.
The
Jellyfish. Alternatively called 36m and 50m long. Pleased to read that the design is inspired by ST: DS9 and USS
Voyager. The design is 'frozen' in mid-roll.
Remarkably light, possibly all plastic.
Jaw-dropping models, as usual. Now I'm off to play!
