I chose Bonaventure and Enterprise-F in the poll.

Thanks for the kind words! I’ll post it over there tomorrow or Thursday.
The Bonaventure is one of the options on the current poll Eaglemoss is running for bonus ships and the TAS Bonaventure is one of the ships (as is the Ships of the Line Bonaventure). But tweeting Ben probably wouldn't hurt!

We made a mockup of what we thought an Eaglemoss ship might look like:

i was just reading about this in "the art of star trek: the kelvin timeline". apparently the ship was designed with orange bussards, but at some point ILM was doing tests and inverted the colors on the model. they loved the look of the deep purple nacelle caps and went with it.
funny thing is, some merchandise from 2009 showed the ship with the orange bussards, like the burger king cups:
so, yeah, it must've been real late when they made that change.
Orange nacelle caps is IMO the better fit. It's more unique. But! The nacelle caps need to have a somewhat similar hue as the deflector dish to make the overall design (reversed triangle from the front) work. Since they decided to go against a golden/orange-ish deflector dish and a blue omne instead, they made the right choice to change the bussard collectors to blue as well.
pics or it didn't happen
This shot here, but it's a lot less orange there than I remembered. Maybe I'm just seeing the red of Vulcan reflected in them, or imagining things.
They kind of just look "turned off" to me. No orange or blue. 
yeah that’s the orange of the planet reflecting off the spoke that runs up the center of the bussard. we still love you tho.
Although not the most stable of stands, mine is fine, as for being "too heavy," that feels like a strange complaint.
Ah yes, now that does make sense.
And the Ent-C concept has been spotted in the wild and hopefully Forbidden Planet here in Dublin will have it in the next few days. - Talking to them last week, they did say the Ring Ship (which I am passing on) and one other special was due, but they weren't sure which.
i’ve had mine on my desk for 2 months and it has never fallen off its stand. unlike the NX refit special which so frequently slipped off its stand that it is dented on either side of its deflector dish.
Me too, but it's nice to know that it may finally be getting delivered to subscribers.
Now that I think about it, the only time I had a problem with a stand was with the Akira. That thing slipped off just by looking at it.
yeah received it october 27 from the eaglemoss shop, not a subscriber.
romulan warbird would not stay on its stand for me. the curved under portion was supposed to slot into a curved piece of plastic, which most of the time just acted like a slide. the nose is all dinged up now.
