Guess I'm still waiting.
Everything I ordered in December is also being held up by irritatingly non-specific delays.
Only a month? At this point that's still early days...
Modding project:
In the Star Trek Online mission “Battle of Wolf 359”, you don’t see you ship because you receive a holographic “camouflage” that makes you vessel look like a historic ship from the battle, like the USS Kumari (Cheyenne class), USS Princeton, etc.
If you fly a Galaxy-class ship (or variant), you can use its Saucer Separation console and it works on the holograms!
I have therefore approached a craftsman friend of mine to try and saw the Eaglemoss USS Ahwahnee model along the separation lines. He says you can only save either sauger or secondary hull in the process due to the sawing and filing, so we’ll use two Eaglemoss models to get both hulls. This is exciting!

IIRC, they did a similar thing with cloaking "future" ships in period holographic designs for the old DSC "Battle of the Binary Stars" TFO from a couple years back. Makes sense and adds to the realism of the scene. I fly a Cnidarian jellyfish ship (and used to fly an Enterprise-J before that) and those would look bigly awkward against those tiny older ships. You're also nerfed, as there is no way a 23rd century Klingon ship could ever last longer than two seconds with the more advanced 24th & 32nd century monsters we have running around out there.

I love scale comparisons! I don’t mind that the models have to fit the size of the box but it’s amazing how have two ships that “work” size-wise.
An old ship modification:
(Background: I used to think there’s a hexagonal, purple focusing crystal at the front but apparently there isn’t).

That happens a lot. Enough that I've learned to give it 48 hours or so without panicking.
Seems like it would have made sense to ship my magazines in with the starship order. Considering that MR has flat rate shipping, I'm a little surprised don't try and combine orders, but I don't think they have the logistical capability to manage it.
I am very jealous. I only have the first two that were initially made available.
