Anyone here heard of this person? They do 3D printed models of ships that you can either assemble yourself, or get finished painted versions of. He even does custom designs. 

 

Here is a 2018 catalog that shows some of his offerings:

I decided to order an 18" model of the Kelvin Enterprise, with a slight change to the nacelle pylons which will be straight like in this video he apparently made the CGI models for:

 

He made an 8" model of it in the past, but has never made one at this size:

$150 including shipping, not a bad price at all.

Very awesome, those Stargate ships are going to happen at some point, and who knows what else. The Discovery Enterprise was incredibly tempting, but I’m holding off on that for now.

Since I also got the STO 3D printed ship, I’m really curious to see how the final products compare.

This guy has an interesting Discovery model.

He decided to shorten the nacelles a bit when he made the 3D model, and it looks pretty good. I've always liked her lengthy nacelles, but now I can't decide which version I like more.

 

I also managed to find more images of the modified Kelvin Constitution that he made, which he named the USS Challenger. I'll be getting it as the Enterprise, with the blue bussard collectors and deflector.

A comparison he made of the standard Enterprise, and the modified one:

So I asked him last night about the possibility of making me a model of the Battlestar Valkyrie at 10-12" long, and he offered to make a full 3D model which he would then print, build, and paint for the price of $75 dollars. 

 

Amazing.
