What are the odds that Eaglemoss will make the other guest starships within the same class already released that appeared in the shows? Like the Ambassador class Zhukov? Intrepid class Bellerophon? Galaxy class Yamato or Odyssey?
I asked people's opinion about doing this on the Facebook page and seemed like people weren't too keen on that happening. I do think the Zhukov is different enough that you could get away with it, but I think the Columbia NX-02 would be more likely to happen. Personally, I'd also like a runabout without the top pod. (Maybe label it the Rio Grande).
always been a pet peeve when i see those saucer impulse engines running. the “these are the voyages” enterprise had the same issue and that was a new, carefully constructed CG model.
There's plenty of pet peeves to go around when it comes to "These Are the Voyages".
In other news, this weekend in the Central Canada Comic Con (or C4). I haven't had much luck at acquiring models there over the years. Apart from a Dauntless I picked up a couple years back at the spring con the same people put on, the only one I got at this con was the 3-pack of the C, D, and E, which I purchased (despite already having a "D"), thinking it was my only chance of getting the C and E, with no idea that they'd come out with re-released of all the Enterprises within a year and a half.
Anyway, this year turned out to be a bit of a tease and I talk to a guy on Friday who had just sold an NX-01 (which I already have) and a Pasteur (which I do
not have!) earlier that day.
(Though, to be fair, I might not have gotten it anyway, since he apparently didn't have the magazine, which has been a deal-breaker for me in the past). I don't seem to have much luck getting these locally. There's apparently too little demand around here to get a lot in, but just enough demand for people to scoop up the few that are around. The good news is I managed to get another binder cover. I was happy about this because the prices on eBay for what is essentially a piece of cardboard are truly obscene.
One other sidenote, looking at the models I have, I've said before that the Bozeman is in the same scale as the Reliant (and not the slightly larger Saratoga), but what I just noticed is that the Bozeman's nacelle are in fact longer than the Reliant and in scale with those of the Saratoga. Certainly no deal-breaker, but I'm slightly curious which one is right. I can't imagine they ever bothered to extend the ones on the filming model at any point.
Well, that's my general rambling for the day.
Edited to add: According to the Memory Alpha page, we'll also be getting the Nightingale. I really didn't like that episode in general and turning the Fed/Maquis fighter into a much larger alien ship was one of Trek's most ridiculous recycles, so that's a bit of a downer. I also read that the Jem'Hadar battleship may finally be made... as an XL ship, which are out of my price range, so that's a bit of a disappointment as well.
Maybe one day...
