I'm getting something tomorrow! It's either the Mayflower or the Newton, I can't wait!
Star Trek: Starships Model/Magazine Subscription

Well that would explain why I don't remember ordering it.....
As I mentioned there are definite differences (errors) on the model. But it also adds a lot more detail and painting to what was not on the original. Several of the ships have almost no change in painting Runabout, Delta Flyer, Bird of Prey, D, Nebula, ect. And several of very substantial errors from studio model (real or CGI), like the E, 1701 Refit, C, Nebula, Runaboutect. Really the one ship that shows huge improvement is the Akira. Just a massive increase in detail, with little errors on it, it's truly the gold star model. To me the Equinox is mix of the best and worst. And the NX-01 is probably just the overall best to begin with and just a great recreation in larger form, followed by the Reliant.
And I loved the Equinox when it first showed up on Voyager. A lot. But I think I actually like its variant even more. But either of them are great designs in my book.

I've wanted this ship since 2009. I am happy
Beautiful!
Of course the magazine gets the size and crew compliment entirely wrong (again, taken from EAS and their bizarre stance of what Bernd thinks the ships should have been instead of what they are) but the model itself is perfect.
@F. King Daniel - thanks for sharing those pics! It looks incredible!
I really really like the nacelles and detailing on the bussards!

No McCall-class shuttle, then. Looks like the Deimos class takes the slot for what would've been the 10th PIC ship.
If Eaglemoss is still figuring out how to make models of ships with detached components, the Booker's ship, Hunhau evac ship and the USS Dresselhaus from DSC could be released first, which are solid. I am really looking forward to having one of the 32nd century Starfleet ships.
Because we already have a big version of the Class C shuttle, perhaps the Future Taxi could be tagged onto the next Federation shuttlecraft set. Four shuttles, plus the taxi as fifth element.
The one scene that REALLY got to me was when Enterprise warped into Vulcan space and nearly ran into a ridiculously oversized saucer that likely belonged to the Newton, Mayflower or Armstrong (as no other super-massive vessel was present on-screen at any time). I mean this saucer was Khan's Dreadnought big, but not built yet:
And yet, when they were all warping out, they all looked properly sized, relative to the Enterprise:
Flexible scales just irk the shit out of me, and I liked this movie.
I think it was the remains of the Mayflower.
I kind of dismissed it as part of a space station (like a component of Spacedock One or even Jupiter Station). Maybe Vulcan had one of those for Starfleet.

IIRC, it had the ship's name emblazoned on it. Unless there was also a space station named Mayflower in orbit over Vulcan. That would get confusing... 
In any case, I'm pretty sure it was meant to be one of the ships that arrived with the rest of the fleet before Sulu popped the clutch on the E's warp drive.
