Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

The ship I'm looking forward the most right now is honestly the USS Emmett Till. That's a great design, and IMO an amazing update of the 70s Ken Adam/McQuarrie design.
I want it now!!

Are you talking about this ship?

Sorry, I’m not seeing Planet of the Titans at all. I’m just seeing a Sovereign-style ship with four nacelles. But to each his own, I guess.

That ship was designed for Behr's DS9 documentary. Did it even appear in the production?

 

[137th Gebirg]

Only in animated form, during the "moving storyboards".

As Ezri’s ship. Thing is that the Aventine is vastly superior

 

[137th Gebirg]

Functionally, with the quantum slipstream drive, that could be objectively true. Stylistically and aesthetically, however, that would be a matter of opinion - which I don’t quite share in this case. YMMV. Sorry...

"What You Leave Behind" wasn't actually a CBS production, was it? So I'm not sure they'd have the rights to make the USS Emmett Till.

I think they announced they were doing it. Eaves must have gave them the design.

Ah, fair enough.

Just got an email saying “something” is being sent but the contents section is empty and not seeing any CC charge. Could it be the long-awaited Bonaventure magazine??

I just received this "mystery" package and it was the Bonnie magazine!!!!! FINALLY!!

 

[137th Gebirg]

Yep. Mine just came in yesterday also. Glad that missing tooth finally grew in. Now for the Fesarius, Akira and Disco Work Bee...

Is the cloaked Defiant closer to the size of the original release?

It's the exact same size as the regular subscription Defiant.

 

[The Keller Machine]

Enterprise E XL and Disco Enterprise XL are back in stock in the UK. I've been waiting for these to come back into stock for a little while.

 

[Tomalak]

Does anyone have any current discount codes
Edit - HERO20 worked for me. Ordered the regular Defiant and the XL Voyager.

I think I read somewhere that the renders in the EM Negh'Var magazine show the official CG model (built for VOY: Endgame, I think), whereas the physical model is based on a certain inaccurate fanmade mesh from the internet. Is there any Negh'Var expert here who can confirm this?

But how can you see an cloaked ship?

You're saying that the original physical studio model, as first seen in TNG's AGT is based on someone else's mesh?

There was an early non-official resin kit from Skyhook, using a Vor'cha body to build on (called the "Future Klingon Battlecruiser") with questionably accuracy, but that's all I can think of. This is where I believe the alternate name for the "Voodieh" class came from (the AGT variant of the Negh'var with the "fangs"), also named as such by the old ST Trading Card RPG by Decipher.

I think I'm missing something here.

No, I'm saying the Eaglemoss model is based on someone else's mesh, even though the renders in their magazine prove that they also have a more accurate mesh at their disposal. But since I don't have the EM model or magazine I couldn't confirm this.

 

[137th Gebirg]

Ah, got it.

The original studio model is a based on the Vor'cha, so the model kit might not have been far off!

I'm not sure about the Eaglemoss model, but from memory the Endgame CGI mesh wasn't 100% accurate to the AGT/WOTW studio model.
