Can't find the K'Tinga in shops, so I may finally get around to subscribing, trekcollective has a few more images of some ships, the Equinox looks stunning, and the Runabout will have the sensor/torpedo pod.

Are they doing a Delta Flyer?

[Jay K]

If I remember correctly, yes!

 

Exelion, I noticed that as well, very cool in my opinion. Also nice that it'll be the Orinoco, instead of the Rio Grande for once.

Drool, all over the keyboard:

Really lovely sculpt - but there's that weird turquoise tint to the photography again!

 

They really need to hire a better stills photographer.

 

Still waiting on my 5 and 6...

I got the BoP and NX-01 a couple days ago.  They are both pretty nice.  The stand for the BoP is kind of flaky though.  It doesn't want to stay in; in fact, while I was picking it up it came out and the base bounced onto the floor and has a big paint chip now.  D'oh.  Those bases are heavy.  They do fit on the risers in my display case alright.  Keep 'em comin'!

So you're going to pass on the likes of the Equinox, Sutherland, Prometheus and Thunderchild?

 

Viewing their website, I'm definitely getting issues 1-12, then 14, 15, 20, 21, 23, 25, 28, 29, 31, 32, and 33.

 

If I see them in the shop and have the dosh to spare, I might also persuade myself to go for 13, 16, 17, 19, and 35. Those would be ones I'd have to see first, in person.

Either way, a few paint issues aside, these are still the best miniature Trek models I've ever seen. Even examples where the paint is missing in some places (Refit, and Voyager), make up for it to me with their stunning sculpts, and straight-as-a-dye nacelles. I view them as a more mature replacement for my old micro machines.

[Destructor!!!]

Oh joy! I just realised that my next delivery (beyond the delayed issues 4 and 5 that should be arriving some day this week) will be the Excelsior and the Defiant! CAN'T WAIT!

[Jay K]

Oh man - have a guess what I'm going to ask you to do when you get that.

[Alteran195]

Just got the NX-01 and BoP, they are both fantastic, such great detailing. They both make the refit look pretty subpar in comparison, makes me wish eagle moss released it later in the line instead of early just to get subscribers, they could have picked a different hero ship like the TOS Enterprise which has a much less complex paint job.

 

I found a place to display them that will work pretty well for a couple months.

Some close up shots:

 

[BadBunnyMike]

I love these little things...they are by far the coolest subscribtion i've ever done that's for sure!!

[Whirlygig]

Received my replacement D the other day.  Looks much better!  You guys were right, Eaglemoss takes care of subscribers.

[Prometheus]

That Equinox is gorgeous !!!

Got my #3 & #4 but was amused about some errors in the magazines. The kbop magazine says Kirk renamed it the hms botany Bay instead of hms bounty, and the NX magazine misspelled torpedoes on the first page. Also, does anybody know if the NX-01 labels on the bottom of the saucer are supposed to go in opposite directions? Mine are both oriented the same.

[BadBunnyMike]

LOL I noticed that Botany Bay error myself and chuckled to myself. 

[Jay K]

Regarding the NX-01 labels on the underside of the saucer, they should both be orientated the same way (bottom facing the warp nacelles). Two pics for proof:

[joemolis]

Yes, thanks on the NX-01 labels on the saucer.  I got my AA NX-01 off the high shelf and saw how they were oriented, too.  I really like the ship, but I had to break off the port nacelle and glue it back on as it was out of alignment.  Not too difficult a task, and it looks dead on now. 

 

However, I just noticed my 1701 refit's neck is out of alignment with the body .  Growing up building almost every version of the AMT models, I am used to seeing this with my own models, so not too surprised to see it on the EM ship.  Still better than some of the errors I have seen (or own) from the Johnny Lighting, Furuta, Hot Wheels, and Micromachines versions.  All in all, I still really like this line, and am looking very forward to the future subscriptions.  The Akira and Defiant classes can't get here soon enough!

[pawpal]

I'm thinking about picking this whole collection up, but as a collector not residing in either the UK or US I cannot sign up for a subscription.

 

If anyone is willing to help me complete the full subscription, I'll make it worth your while. Will likely make a thread in the Wanted section about this, but for now anyone keen to help me out please send me a PM. Thanks!

[Destructor!!!]

I forgot to update this thread - I got a notice on Thursday that an attempt at delivery had been made on Tuesday last (at a time when we were present in the house - sigh!), so I was able to pick up the NX-01 and the Warbird then.

 

They're both *spectacular*! The Warbird is based off the DS9 CG model, so it's a bit "frowny", but aside from that, the detail and paintwork on each are phenomenal.

 

But the real jewel of the delivery was undoubtedly the plaque. Holy crap, it feels so good to hold that thing in my hands. I keep checking it for dust while ignoring hails from the Sheliak.
