Eaglemoss's Newest Discovery Ships

Reminds me of the Miranda.
Well , I realize that the item at the lower right of the saucer in that image is the port nacelle slung under the saucer, but the angle of the image makes it look almost look like it is attached to the side of the saucer, giving the appearance of it being like the cockpit of the Millennium Falcon.

At least to my eyes.

EDIT TO ADD:
This is what I see, and I can't unsee it:

To be fair, I don't think any Klingon ships have ever had visible Deflectors.
The TOS D7's had a forward-facing navigational deflector in the "mouth" recess that later became the forward photon launcher in the K'Tinga.

Copyright infringement if I ever seen one. Quick call ALL the lawyers. Disney vs CBS. Could be epic!

:lol: If they didn't do it after First Contact where there really was a Millennium Falcon in the Federation fleet during the Borg Cube attack, then they definitely won't do it now.

Heh...good point. Should be fun.

Although, instead of suing CBS, I predict Disney will just wait until their merger with Paramount is done and then do a massive hostile takeover, pulling the entire Trek franchise under the mouse-ear-shaped umbrella once and for all.

FINALLY, generations of fanboyz will have their Trek/Wars crossover to see who will come out on top! :D :p

Inevitably, the winner will be whichever makes the most money.
 
Surprised no D7 in this collection. Or maybe not surprised. Perhaps Eaglemoss is smart and don't want anything to do with that abomination.

Very strange, the only ship they think is important enough to mention by name in the show gets no model.
 
How are often are thesis shipped? Once a month one at a time?
For the regular subscription that's been going on for several years, we normally get two ships per month. That is, unless one or more of them are out of stock. Since these ships are bigger and less numerous than the others that have come out of the regular line, I suspect we will only see one per month with this new line.

Be warned - while the models themselves are EXCELLENT in quality, the customer service (at least in the US) is quite bad and we're usually a couple of months behind the UK in shipments. The poor folks in Australia wait the longest, I think, for the obvious geographic reasons. We've been known to wait 2-3 months for something that everyone else already purchased from their online store. Granted, it's cheaper to get them in subscription form, but for the more popular ships, I'm convinced that the online store always takes precedence. If they run out of stock, they raid the subscription inventory to back-fill the shortfall and wait for the second or even third batch to come in before subscribers get theirs. No joke - it's been an ongoing endless moan from many of us over in the main Eaglemoss thread.
 
There was a Klingon named 'Qugh' in the novel 'Klingon' according to Memory-Beta.
Qugh is the tlhIngan Hol spelling of "Kruge". It's also a word meaning "disaster".

However, because the names are given in all-caps, it could also be the word qugh, meaning "cruise". This syllable is also found in qughDuj, "cruiser".

I can't find anything for 'Bstlh'

Markonian has suggested that ‘Bstlh’ might be a typo, and it could be Batlh
Indeed, other sources - such as this TrekMovie article and this video - use the spelling BATLH (with batlh being a noun meaning "honor" or an adverb meaning "honorably").
 
I got a subscription just so I could get my Shenzhou and Discovery models. I can't f-ing wait....hope the first one comes soon. I'm a total ship nerd.
