Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Huh. When Eaglemoss sent me three different emails back-to-back, I assumed they would all be sent in one efficient package.

Nope. Shran yesterday, Sirena should show up today and... the USPS has no idea where Zheng He is.

 

Are the CG models from Beyond lost as well?

 

That would be amazingly awesome (if confirmed)! Been looking forward to these ever since the line started.

 

I finally located the bag in the closet that my JL and Furuta ships were so unceremoniously dumped in when I moved. Not sure what I'll do with then, given my limited space, most of which is taken up by Eaglemoss model, but nice to see them again.

For the record, I pulled out the refit and compared it to the Eaglemoss 1701-A (both have a white color sceme, as opposed to the more gray scheme of the Eaglemoss refit). Aside from being 5-10% smaller scale, it seems to me they're pretty much the same in terms of proportions. The secondary hull doesn't seem "fat" me.

They also did a swell job on the NX-01 (I have three, the original, the "battle damaged one", and the mirror universe one).

 

I've seen this info on memory alpha for quite some time now but I don't remember exactly where it came from. I think it was in an interview, maybe with IrishTrekkie? Shame about Salcombe though.

 

That tiny ship at Starbase One in ST'09 is the USS Realta NCC-0184, seen up close in the Fleet Command mobile game.

It blows my mind they had some USS Vengeance design cues in a background ship 4 years before.

 

My ST Universe sub is finally pending to my credit card in the US.

 

Next special issue is the Son'a battlecruiser
Now the only Son'a ship that's still missing is the shuttle.

 

Huh... Looks almost like a Disco-era ship, with the hard-angle nacelles. Interesting design. I hope we see more angles of it at some point.

 

It doesn't look quite right to be the Steamrunner-ish Turas class to me. Perhaps a variant without the saucer.

 

That's not a bad idea!

 

Anyone have an idea how long the Canadian site's been down?

 

THE NEWTON IS COMING!!!!!

(And the Mayflower)

*screams incoherently in sheer joy*

 

Also, 315 meters? What are they smoking?

The Mayflower dwarfs the 725m Enterprise in the movie, so 236m is entirely wrong there too. There's a size comparison chart in the Art of the Movie book, for crying out loud!

EDIT: They got their sizes from Ex Astris Scientia's "estimations"

 

True. It's doubly frustrating that he accepts Discovery's ship sizes (750m USS Discovery! 440m Enterprise!) without too much complaint, but still insists the Kelvin Enterprise isn't 725m. Sigh.
