Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Finally got this little speedster today :D

(My first one from Real Merch, 16 GBP plus shipping :D)
 
The Geezer and the Vancouver have arrived.
No magazines. Upper nacelle pair on Stargazer is wonky. Bit of color flaked off on the Parliament-class aft impulse engine.

Other than that, perfect.
Stand code on the Stargazer is 2832. So close!
Normally I throw the stands away and keep the ship in plastic totes but I guess I reconsider.

How come the smaller Vancouver has so much more detail than the large one?
Like Inquiry class, the STO modelers added details (usually hull texture and beam array hardpoints) to the ship. Eaglemoss reproduces what was on screen, while STO adds a bit of detail. That's why the smaller, GamePrint-made model has more detail.

It's particularly noticeable when comparing the center of the saucer on both dorsal and ventral.
 
Slight aside, re: Gameprint:

The more I consider it, the more I’m tempted to get a Gameprint of a Ross-Class starship.

I realise it’s a bit of an (s)mash-up between a Sovereign / Galaxy, and a bit ungainly from some angles (especially side on views) - buuuuut I must confess to liking it, and wanting to get a physical model.

Regarding the pricing on Intergral Reality Labs website, I’ve looked around and can’t see any indication of what the currency is - and am assuming it’s USD?

If anyone could confirm, that would be appreciated! :)
 
What do the numbers and letters on the stand mean anyway? Number produced, starting from 1? But what are the letters about?

I'm considering getting the smallest Gameprint versions of the F and the Probert-C, does anyone have those?

Odyssey class: a visual update is coming in June so I wouldn’t order beforehand:

Probert-C/Narendra class: https://gameprint.integralrealitylabs.com/gameprint/captures?page=1&search=Narendra

I love having GamePrint models and being able to give them custom names. I had a Voyager-A since before it was announced on Prodigy, for instance. BUT the resin is not as strong as the metal/plastic ships Eaglemoss fed us. Get the right stands, or bear gravity in mind when sforing your models because they will become warped (pun not intended).
