That seems to have thrown a lot of people off, but the Enterprise was supposed to be a special case: the only ship to keep its original number. Voyager seems to be the second line of ships to receive the honour, with Voyager-A launching 98 years after the Enterprise-A, and then we got a Titan-A 17 years later. And that's it, that's all of them until Discovery as far as I can remember. Well, except for the Defiant, but that kept its number without getting a letter, which is even more unusual.
Don't you usually name StarShips with people's names only after they have passed away?
The US Navy had a moratorium on naming ships after living people for a long time, that went by the wayside in the 1970s (I think), now there are dozens named after living people, but I could see where the average person (or TV writer) still thinks the former might be the case. With regard to Star Trek, I don't think either convention has ever been established, particularly since the ones named after real people tend to use historical figures that are centuries old.
Not arriving in time for Christmas, then.
thankfully it’s just for me. If it were a gift for someone, I’d have been way more livid at the delay.Not arriving in time for Christmas, then.
Finally found some time over the holidays to rearrange and convert my collection of Eaglemoss models. Bought an additional bookshelf to finally be able to store all the boxes properly. As you can see, it’s a tight squeeze (and frankly, the way it looks makes me feel like I’m living in some sort of retail shop or warehouse), but after some trial and error I was able to get all 220+ boxes in there. Finally all those hours playing Tetris paid off.
I’m keeping the vast majority of them stored at all times, but always have a changing assortment of models out on display in the bookshelf. Sometimes I don’t get to change them for a couple of months, but when I do it’s a lot of fun deciding which one to take out and study again. (Note: The bisexual lighting is only to make these photos look nicer; I don’t usually have the living room lit like that.)
I’m always curious how others are displaying and storing their collection. Have most of you all of the models out at the same time? Did you keep the boxes or throw them away like some did? Did you already sell some of your models or do you still have all of them?
I love how you set up your lighting to highlight the blue and red transparent areas.

Some of us have a package that is still stuck in a temporal anomaly in Kansas City. Hoping it moves before the end of 2024 at least, but I'm guessing that depends on the degree of time dilation from my location on the east coast and Missouri.
they are 100% identical, FanHome just completely took over Eaglemoss' production set-up
