Hallelujah, Fanhome shipped my ship.
Speaking of ships, which ones do you think are most likely to be made after issue 20? The following seem viable to me, although I don't expect we'll see all the alien ships:
Alien ships (<8): Borg Artifact, Borg Singularity, Borg Queen's Cube, Romulan vertical Warbird, Praetor's flagship, Romulan warship, Gorn Destroyer, Gorn Hunter.
DIS 31st century ships (8): Constitution, Dresselhaus, Merian, Saturn, Tikhov, Credence, Angelou, Friendship.
PIC starfleet ships (14): Ross, Sutherland, Echelon, Alita, Reliant, Inquiry (season 2/3), CSS World Razer, Enterprise D (rebuilt), McCall-type shuttle, Type 14 shuttle, Synth ship, Radiant, Shangri-La, Pioneer.
LD/PRO starfleet ships (3+): Cerritos ("naked"), Cerritos (one or more alternate reality variants), Voyager A shuttle.
SNW starfleet ships (2): Kelcie Mae, Stamets-type shuttle.

Here are my guesses:
Aliens: one PIC Borg ship (probably the Queen's from S3), one SNW Gorn ship (not sure which they'd pick, it feels they've had about the same amount of screen time, but I lean towards the Hunter since it's less weird)
DIS: I think the 32nd Constitution would be popular, I also wouldn't be surprised with Antares, since she was pretty prominent in S5 - other than that, I wouldn't expect any others
PIC: oddly enough, the background Federation flert ships seems to be a big focus for Fanhome, probaby a half-dozen more of the these, I'd say Reliant II for sure is a lock - anything from S3 will be favored over S1/S2 ships, 1701-D from the finale will be an XL
SNW: hopefully the shuttlecraft, since it's been featured in several episodes, probably the Kelcie Mae, maybe the Crossfield-based Frankenship from S2E1

I hope they look as beautiful as the other models we've got.
And that there'll be an official class designation for the Archer type.
Gazelle Class
Almost everything is the same price it's been for ages, RM constantly advertises "this is it" to try and move their moribund Eaglemoss stock.
Master Replicas is selling a full scale Voyager dedication plaque now
The small text however is inset instead of popping out like the real show prop.
The colours, I'm not sure. It matches one of the prop versions Doug Drexler had but sold later. But a screenshot from the show makes it look black.
I was tempted, but it came to $97 Canadian after shipping

U.S.S. Voyager NCC-74656 Dedication Plaque (full size)
This is a full-sized, polyresin replica (14 inches wide by 10.5 inches tall) of the dedication plaque for the U.S.S. Voyager. It was on the bridge of the ship just to the right of the turbolift doors. The original plaque was designed by Star Trek scenic artist Mike Okuda who supplied us with...

Did it come with the stand in the box?
I just got mine, the detailing is pretty nice, it's unexpectedly long and skinny in person, even moreso than the usual Excelsior proportions, probably due to the elliptical saucer (which also makes the nacelles seem a little too close together like on the 09/ID Kelvinprise). My only complaint about this ship isn't Fanhome's fault, it just seems like the 42037 registry number is waaay too low - probably should have been 82037 at the lowest.
Revising my initial guesses now that SNW S3 has started. Instead of background Federation ships from PIC, I think they'll maybe do some of the SNW ones, since that show is a bit more current - and a bit less "Eaglemoss already did this in their STO line, but here's a larger version".
Do we think Fanhome will do one of the three primary ships from SEC31? I'd lean towards the S31 ship (whick I thought was nifty-looking), but the garbage truck wouldn't surprise me.
Fanhome USS Excelsior NCC-42037 compared with a 2023 12cm Excelsior II class model from STO and printed by the late lamented GamePrint. The embiggening and use of metal/plastic are welcome upgrades.
I’m excited to compare this with the Obena class.
