Unlikely Factory Entertainment, Master Replicas are a company based in the UK, so I don't think they'll directly be hit by China/US tariffs. The parent company is Heathside Trading Ltd which was recently bought by an investment company.

Heathside Trading has operations in the UK and the Netherlands and has been acquired for an undisclosed sum by SAGA Invest.

- Puddle Jumper arrived. I enjoy how lightweight it is. I could almost be tempted to get a second one and modify it into gate mode.
- MCRN Tachi arrived. I love the orange-on-black color scheme. It's cool to have a ship-of-the-line Martian ship. Back in the days of Haegemonia: Legions of Iron, it was fun to unite Humanity under the banner of the mighty Martian Nation.
- I dropped my modded Nacene array and, being fragile enough, it split. Sorry, Suspiria! I'll reglue it when I get the chance.

I wish the Enterprise had been more of a kitbash of the Kelvin. I think this "Kelvinprise" idea looks quite good, though presumably not heroic enough.

I forgot to tell you there is a resin kit—-here is a

A slightly different take on the Kelvinprise:

1:1000 Discovery Enterprise “Kelvinprise” Upgrade STL File Download

Downloadable STL files for custom upgrades parts. This upgrade kit comes with simple parts to upgrade the Polar Lights 1:1000 Discovery Enterprise to an earlier Kelvin-styled Constitution class vessel. Parts include a dorsal saucer replacement section, Bussard Collectors, Nacelle end caps...

There are also TOS and Refit options for the SNW model. I wish Hot Wheels would re-introduce big die casts again.

Royal Mail saying delivery of the Nebuchadnezzar due today at 10:19am. It’s 14:19 and I’ve left town. Really frustrated with the delays for that model.

Oooo… I may have to get that first resin kit, I’ve always liked that take on the Kelvinprise.

Those other ones I’m not so sure of, I think the final result of mixing different design languages will look odd.

I too am heavily tempted by that kelvin enterprise take also (first one).

I keep the plastic packaging rafts of the few Eaglemoss minis with the intent of using them as molds to mix and match forms.

I wonder if the Cerritos saucer could replace a Nebula pod...

 

[dantini]

as for the Puddle Jumper, I'm still trying to think of a way to fix the engine pods...

 

[Cradok]

That is Very Green. I'd assumed you'd repainted it for a Master Chief kind of look, but no, shockingly, that's how it looks.

 

[dantini]

Only under bright light. In my unlit display case it looks more like this.

 

[Cradok]

That's still Pretty Green. I'd have said the Jumpers in the show were a metal grey with green discolouration, but looking at actual pictures, it seems that they looked to be in a pretty wide range of greys and greens and even a bit reddish at times, so I guess it's actually correct.

Anyone have an idea on a potential replacement stand for the Fanhome Titan model? I’ve somehow misplaced the plastic stand and am therefore unable to display it how I’d like! I’ve been in contact with Fanhone about purchasing a replacement stand, but am not too optimistic..,

I only watched the first couple of seasons of Stargate, so never saw this ship on the show. I was wondering why it was such an odd shape, but only now realized It was designed to fit through the Stargates, sorry for being slow, lol…
