I'm looking forward the ENT-B and Excelsior... only about a year late and still not here!
Art Asylum Enterprise-D Model
- Thread starter Demonland
- Start date
BRAIIIIIIINNNNNNSSSSSSS!!!!!!
I still have a Ertl Fiber Optic Ent-D model that I've "stalled" on building, mostly because the drill for the fiberoptics broke and doing them all by hand with a small drill is a huge PITA.
I'll have to dig it back out and complete it.
I have a huge running list in my head of things that I want to buy or collect. WWII era trinkets, coins, vintage U.S. flags, toy military vehicles, Star Trek stuff, and anything to do with classical mythology or architecture are all high on my list.
Suffice to say that if I had unlimited money I would probably soon possess an (albiet rather eccentric) museum. In any case, when it comes to Star Trek stuff, if I personally encounter a Star Trek model, there is pretty much a 100% chance that I will buy it if I can afford to. For some reason I always postpone making internet orders though, in spite of the fact that there is an amazing wealth of ST products out there, and at good prices.

imranbecks, that looks fantastic. What a great looking ship. When I finally got some spending money together I hit all the comic and toy shops.... sold out everywhere. Grrr.... I know, I know online, yes.
But there's something so satisfying about paying for something from a real person and then walking out of the shop with it.
EDIT: What is going on with the bold? I must be boldly going.

How could you say that the Art Asylum version of the E-E is a disappointment? What was the biggest disappointment? The exqusite attention to detail? The overall coolness of holding THE GREATEST rendition of the GREATEST incarnation of the Enterprise EVER??!!
Shall I remind us all of the true disappointment? Enterprise-E as rendered by Playmates?
AT LEAST when Playmates made the Enterprise-D they put in a decent effort to render the ship as accurately as possible,but they did'nt make the same effort with the E-E,they just....well it looked like the company just did'nt care.
I have'nt been a member of Trek BBS long so I might have missed something,if that is indeed the case,I look forward to the correction,but what was so "disappointing" about Art Asylum's version?

NO windows on the dorsal neck. A Bridge that lights up like a freakin' Christmas tree.
windows you got to paint in like hte Playmates ship, just to give it an appearence of being lighted.
And the fact that rather than stop making the ship and correct the at least the dorsal, they'd rather keep making it. Reminds me of Varese Sarabande who accidently issued the "GI Joe" movie score CD with some tracks in MP3, but rather than correct it, they let it go, and even got pissy about it. Before that they had been a nearly flawless label in reputation, but their attitude toward us over their mistake, was lousey. Didn't Art Asylum offer a freakin' sticker to put on the dorsal?

I do believe he was talking about Art Asylum's Enterprise-E...

I know, the Ent-B is one of my favorite Trek ships, they need to get back on schedule...
Anyone know about the Enterprise-E rerelease?
They've never done the Nemesis version before...right?

BTW. Anyone know where I can find a spare stand for the D?
I tried to contact DST but they still haven't returned my e-mails.

Woo-hoo. DST came thru and sent me a replacement set of stands.
^That's great. The stand on my 1701 broke but I just ended up making a new one.
