EMvTW Discovery Special 3 - Section 31 Station

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

My next review of an Eaglemoss model once again covers something I normally would not have purchased.  First, while I do watch the series, because it is Star Trek,  I am not a big fan of Star Trek: Discovery.  And up until this purchase, the only other Star Trek: Discovery model I bought was the "smaller" Enterprise from Eaglemoss' Discovery collection.  The second reason that I would not have normally bought this model is, it is just REALLY big.  I prefer my models to be around the size of the "Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection" size.  The Discovery line is much larger than those other models, PLUS, this model was released as part of that lines even bigger Special Edition Issues.  And I have to tell you, the Discovery Special Edition models are even larger then the Official Starships Collection Special Edition models.  You will see what I mean at the end of this article.

The bankruptcy of Eaglemoss put me in an odd situation though.  As a result of the bankruptcy, the line of models I was purchasing and reviewing suddenly dried up, with the probability of never seeing any more new models again.  Thanks to a company purchasing the remaining stock from Eaglemoss, a few "unicorns" that I never thought I would see published are becoming available at a decent cost as long as I'm quick on the [PURCHASE] button.  Because of this, I was able to complete my Space Station collection from the Official Starships Collection with my recent purchase of the Caretaker's Array (See review at THIS LINK).  Out of morbid curiosity, I looked at the other Star Trek collections that Eaglemoss had produced to see what other space stations were made.  As it turns out, there were only two others, so to be a completionist, I went and purchased them.

And so, I present the first of two very large models, Section 31 Station.


We first get to see this station in the Star Trek: Discovery episode called "Project Daedalus".

EMvTW Special 28 - Jupiter Station

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: None

The next model up for my review is one that I have been anxiously awaiting for months to get my hands on.  I was super excited when I found out that they were doing this one, even with it being a Special Edition sized model.  I am speaking of the very odd looking, and even more oddly displayed Jupiter Station.


While the station is mentioned lots of times across several series, we first get to see this place in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Life Line".

Omnuim Gatherum - Administrative & R&D Offices Space Station

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

One of the things I've noticed over the years is a serious lack of space station models, especially when it comes to Star Trek.  Sure, there are models of Deep Space Nine (Nor Class) and Deep Space Station K-7 (K Class), but that's really it.  If you do some searching around, you might be able to find some expensive garage kit resin models of other stations, but they can sometimes be hard to acquire.

As my kitbashing skills progressed, I found that I had a large pile of Constitution Class and Refit Constitution Class saucer sections and began to wonder if maybe I could build my own station.  Thus was born Omnuim Gatherum, the Administrative & R&D Offices Space Station for my own ship building company, Triple-D Enterprises.
