Super excited about all of these. Enterprise F especially.

[AndyW]

Cheers, there was nothing official posted when I looked and then that hero collector link appeared.

 

Not bothered about an assimilated Voy, but if that's the price of getting the Sternbach concept then so be it.

 

I know I've said similar to this before in relation to BoBW and other obscure ships, but if you'd have told my 15 year old self that in 21 years I could have an official model of the concept from the Art of Star Trek book I used to pour over I'd have...well I'd have probably said 'its so unfair I have to wait, I want it now' but my adult self gets that in 1997 I wouldn't have believed we'd be discussing this possibility!

Dont quite understand this since the magazine said issue 3 was the Bird of Prey, but the Kerala is listed on BBTS as issue 3 and is up for preorder:

Has everyone seen the XL survey?

 

I think I said a few posts back that if they ever did an XL Akira I might actually explode.

 

Well, we are a long way from that, but...during the survey it asks you to choose from a list which ships you would buy in the XL format (K'Tinga, Excelsior, Nebula, Runabout, BOP, Ent J and...the Akira class.

 

Make it happen folks, click that button. I'd buy three on general principle, one for work, one for home and one to zoom around my study in a state of pure geek joy.

[Alteran195]

I took the survey.

I chose the Akita, Prometheus, and Enterprise J.

Im curious how theyd do the J because I dont think its look right if they just blew up the current model.

Also hoping theyve actually reworked the C since their current one is trash.

[AndyW]

Ah yes, I missed the Prometheus. Yes I'd probably get that one.

[Alteran195]

How could you miss the greatest ship in the Federation?

Since shes my favorite, if they did XL her Id definitely buy it.

[Jay K]

I basically marked all of them (because why not - others will want them), but I included a few more in the optional at the bottom:

Oberth, Vor'cha, Nova (and I've forgotten the others I listed lol).

[AndyW]

The list gives you a clue to what the best selling issues are. Was surprised not to see a Vor'cha also.

Yes presumably the Delta Flyer was in the list as one of the top selling issues but I really don't see a big need for a XL version of it.

 

Of the ones suggested I'd most like the Romulan Warbird, BoP, K'T'inga and the Runabout but I selected all of them

[Alteran195]

I feel like the Enterprise F should be made as a jumbo too just because all the others have been. 

 

The J is the only one that isn't really necessary since there is such a gap between it and the others, but I'd still like to see one. 

[DefiantOne]

I feel like the Enterprise F should be made as a jumbo too just because all the others have been. 

 

The Enterprise-F should be a jumbo just because it is an Enterprise.. and a very beautiful, too. Also, the standard sized version would be as small and flimsy as the USS Aventine. Nothing wrong with having a bigger version of both of them.

[Alteran195]

Yep, she’s a lovely ship and deserves the proper Enterprise treatment.

[Morgan]

It's weird that a bunch of Voyager concepts made it into The Art of Star Trek, but Drexler's did not.

 

The "Gaming Universe" (whatever that is) Enterprise F seems like a little too far into non-canon territory, but then again look at how awful the Yeager is, and that's been on screen dozens of times. If there is ever a Blu-Ray DS9 set, that needs to be scrubbed out of existence.

 

When it comes to less significant Starfleet ships we still haven't seen the Miranda variant that was the USS Lantree, sans roll bar and side sensor pods. It was like the really really base trim, poverty-spec version of the Miranda class with no stereo or air conditioning, cloth seats, manual transmission, and unpainted bumpers.

[Alteran195]

The F is no more or less canon than any of the other concept art ships or book ships or whatever that are being made.

Its an approved by CBS design, and is just as canon as the USS Titan and Aventine. If they deserve a spot in this collection, why not the F?

[Razorgeist]

I took the survey.

I chose the Akita, Prometheus, and Enterprise J.

Im curious how theyd do the J because I dont think its look right if they just blew up the current model.

 

Either way I look forward to it.  Those were the ships I voted on as well.

[AndyW]

I'm not a massive fan of the F design if I'm honest, but I think it deserves its place. We've had so much content that really walks the line between canon and non that its churlish to worry now, its a design free for all!

 

Frankly, they made the Titan, they can make whatever they like now and I'll support it.

 

Quite like that new remastered ship from the Spocks Brain ep.

[Alteran195]

If they do start going down the ships from Star Trek games route, I'd love to see the USS Achilles from the DS9 Dominion War game:

 

 

Or the USS Premonition from Star Trek Armada, with an updated model of course:

I still want the Franz Joseph designs from 1975 ! !
