Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

I’ve got a few of the Eaglemoss ships that are sorta/kinda/almost in scale with each other, if you squint and pretend a bit. Namely, the XL Ent-D, XL Ent-E, regular Voyager, and regular original 1701. Anyone know if there’s any other ships that are kind of the same scale? The refit 1701 I’d guess though I think that was out of stock last time I checked.

Pretty sure the Enterprise-D and the various Nebula-class ships are in scale.

I've got the XL Voyager and XL TOS Enterprise, the regular Defiant and the DST Enterprise-D, and I think they're broadly in scale with each other.

Got the Zheng He “copy-and-paste” ship today. It’s not the most detailed model. It also feels rather plasticy for its price.
I feel like the ship needs a few more hours in the design phase. There’s a good looking ship in there.

I used a highlighter to paint the deflector grille on one Zheng He blue, and on another dark yellow.
In STO, the traditionally looking deflector dish is hidden behind the grille but still shines through, and I like that.

I got my most recent Discovery subscription issue and was delighted to discover they've raised the subscription price by $9 an issue.

I'm still missing eleven ships, considering half of these are blink and you'd miss them Klingon and S31 ships, thinking that it's a better deal to cancel the subscription and pick up the ships I actually want from the store during sales (shoot, as it happens the Disco ships are currently $45).

Sounds like a plan. Cancel the sub, inform Eaglemoss you don't need the missing issues sent to you after the fact. Fill the gaps on the webshop (saving money with a discount code and potentially cashback), then invest the savings in a ST: Universe Starships sub until you got all the subscriber gifts.

Looks like the USS Armstrong is up for pre-order now on the UK and US sites. Not the Australia one though...

I’ve got a few of the Johnny Lightning “Legends of Star Trek” plastic ships that came out about 10-12 years ago and they are pretty close to scale with some of the Eaglemoss ships. Best example is their E-D is just about perfect in line with the Eaglemoss E-E.

Yes, they did a great job on many of their ships like the refit Enterprise and Voyager. (And they got the right font for the Voyager registry, which always bugged me on the Eaglemoss one) The Voyager nacelles actually articulate. Unfortunately, there's nothing to hold them in any position, so mine would always droop down.

TOS-Era Connie is absolutely terrible, though. The number formatn, the deflector dish, and the width of the saucer are totally wrong. Strange how the much smaller Micro Machines managed to get tat right.

(I haven't been able to find mine since I moved. They're probably in a box in my closet somewhere).

As a workaround, I applied liberal amounts of glue on the nacelle struts, and I'm storing that Voyager upside down here at my desk to keep the nacelles in place. Thus, when I need a Voyager-at-warp, I have it handy.
I really hope Eaglemoss makes a dedicated warping Voyager at some point, though.

Not really an option for me, as I broke one of the nacelles off years ago. I eventually glued it back one, but it's now fixed in place, so now I have one that's flat straight and one that's drooping down.

Well I just shipping notice of the first three Picard ships, which I was only expecting the first two so that's interesting.

And my last shipment was sent from Compton, California. I was very surprised by this, I knew they had said they were changing warehouse but I didn't expect a move to California of all places.

Talk about obscure Trek ships. I wonder if they’ll do that red one.

I always thought the TOS Connie was fine. It was the refit that had the funky, extra fat secondary hull.

the paint jobs on all of them are really good. The E-D and E-A (fat hull and all) are really the standouts.

Apparently they're doing all(?) Of the Kelvin Timeline background ships. Whether that means the 2009 background ships or actually all of them across the trilogy remains to be seen.

I’m so excited EM is finally producing the Vulcan battle fed ships from Trek 09!

Well overdue, if you ask me - so very pleased.

Engage!

Where is that info coming from?
AFAIK the Armstrong's announcement came as a complete surprise, and nothing has been said officially on the other ships.

Also, in terms of the trilogy, Ben has previously ruled out making the USS Salcombe from ST: Beyond.

 

[thribs]

I wasn’t even aware there was another ship in Beyond. Speaking of which, they haven’t done the LinPrise, or the snow globe

There were loads of little vehicles in Beyond, like a four-nacelled police-light flashing starship inside Yorktown, and the bulky Akira-style Salcombe: https://www.thetrekcollective.com/2...ae-NF7okqioHHlTIfLIpv-Dl25v8NIKuNdS31-Syo9lrE

Eaglemoss's own Designing Starships Kelvin Timeline lists a "forgotten starship" that I am wholly unfamiliar with.

I am totally surprised Eaglemoss never churned out John Harrison's attack craft from Into Darkness. This movie also gave us some police vehicles, plus the fighter jets(?) at the end of the movie.

And dammit we NEED the Enterprise-A! Special and XL, please.
