EMvTW Extra 30 - Steth's Coaxial Starship

I was sad when Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection came to an end at issue #180.  I truly thought we were done with seeing models from the my favorite TV series that had been covered in the this line of ships.  I especially felt that there were still a few more ships that could be done to complete the collection.  Then, Eaglemoss surprised us all, and continued releasing models as Special Edition and Shop Exclusives, which I personally call, the Bonus Edition models.  These new models do take a while to be released between the time they are put up for pre-order and the time we actually get them.  For example, this next model up for review was purchased by me through the US WebStore back in September 2021, and here we are in February 2022. 

So, without any further delay, here is Steth's Coaxial Starship.


We first get to see this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Vis à Vis".

EMvTW SC08 - Shuttlecraft Collection Set 8

Eaglemoss continues to produce ships under thier "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" label.  I have been making pre-order purchases of these ships as soon as they go online, and then wait patiently for a few months for them to come to the United States.  This has been the new norm when it comes to collecting under that "Finished" line of models, but in some cases, the wait is worth it.

The latest Shuttlecraft Collection went up for pre-order in the United states back September 2021, and I just received my set in February 2022.  I truly believe though that this set was worth that wait for several reasons.

First and foremost, this set differs from the previous seven sets in that this one contains all alien, and no Starfleet (Terran) ships.

The set consists of four smaller than Standard Edition sized models, with accompanying half height magazines and something called Okudagrams.
