EMvTW 59: USS Relativity NCV-474439-G (Wells class)

Rewrites: March 2019

As I started getting into collecting and wanting to expand my collection, I found a serious lack of  comparative data out there showing the various small scale pre-built and pre-painted ships available to the collector.  And so I set out to provide this information myself and hopefully help someone make a wiser decision in which model to buy.

The bittersweet news is that looking ahead, it appears that we will actually see very few comparative articles coming from me in the future.  I'm sad, as it means that my sole purpose for writing these sorts of articles is coming to an end.  But, I'm also happy in that Eaglemoss has far surpassed my wants in a manufacturer who would make models of ships that no one else has produced.   And unlike Hallmark, they are not wasting production time by producing the same model in an updated format every several years.

This also means that writing these reviews has become a rather quick affair.  (Editor's Update: Although re-writing them has become a bit of a production. 😀 )

This brings us to this month's review of the USS Relativity (NCV-474439-G), a 29th century Wells Class ship of Starfleet design.

We are introduced to this starship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Relativity".

As I started getting into collecting small scale Star Trek starship models, and then wanting to expand my collection, I found a serious lack of  comparative data out there showing me the various small scale pre-built and pre-painted ships available to the collector.  And so I set out to provide this information myself and hopefully help someone make a wiser decision in which model to buy.

The bittersweet news for my Eaglemoss vs. The World series, is that looking ahead, it appears that we will actually see very few comparative articles coming from me in the future.  I'm sad, as it means that my sole purpose for writing these sorts of articles is coming to an end.  But, I'm also happy in that Eaglemoss has far surpassed my wants in a manufacturer who would make models of ships that no one else has produced.   And unlike Hallmark, they are not wasting production time by producing the same model in an updated format every several years.  Check out my articles on the Galaxy Class (article link HERE) and the TOS Era Constitution Class (article link HERE) to see what I mean.

This review is going to focus on the Borg Tactical Cube, also known as the Class 4 Tactical Cube.  We get to see this type of ship in the Star Trek: Voyager episodes called "Unimatrix Zero", parts 1 and 2.

As I alluded to initially, I only have one manufacturer's model to talk about this time, and that would be Eaglemoss.

3D Print Kit Interview: Tactical Game Systems 1:2500 MCS-7 Class Destroyer

I have started a new type of article here at Deepspace Pat.  Occasionally, I get into a very long interview process with the makers of the models that I review.  And in those cases, I walk away with a ton of interesting information that probably doesn't need to go into the review but instead warrants it's own article.

Consider this a sister article to my actual review of the Tactical Game Systems 1:2500 MCS-7 Class Destroyer.

You can read that review at THIS LINK.

Before we go any further though, Dave who owns and operates T.G.S. asked me to point out that the model I'm working with is a PROTOTYPE.  So please keep that in mind when reading my review.

The Romulan Invasion (Romulan Ship Variants)

Editor's Update:  This article is seriously outdated.  Most of the models mentioned below have their own articles now.

Having just finished doing the Eaglemoss vs. The World article for my 23rd Century Romulan Bird Of Prey, I realized that I actually have quite a fleet of ships that I've never shared with my readers.

By now you have most likely read the following Eaglemoss vs. The World articles that I've written.  If not, please feel free to check them out.

EMvTW 39: Romulan (Holo) Drone
EMvTW 27 - Romulan Bird Of Prey (22nd Century)
EMvTW 57: Romulan Bird of Prey (23rd century)
EMvTW 05 - Romulan D'Deridex Class (B-Type Warbird)

Welcome to article number 57 of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series.  In this issue, I'm going to focus on an oldy, but goody, the 23rd Century Romulan Bird Of Prey.  We first get to see this type of starship in the Star Trek: The Original Series episode called "Balance of Terror".

As you can see from my picture, my collection consists of an Eaglemoss, a Hallmark and two MicroMachine models.

Issue number 56 of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series brings us the USS Yeager, a Sabre Class vessel.  We first get to see this vessel in action in the movie "Star Trek: First Contact (1996)".

Like I did for the Steamrunner Class,  I am going to break a few of my regular procedures from how I normally present the one model reviews.  This will hopefully give you a slightly longer article for your reading pleasure.  If you wish to read the review of the Steamrunner Class, you can find that article at THIS LINK.

Gashapon Explained

It's time for a quick little break from my standard articles as well as refitting all of my older Eaglemoss vs. The World articles to share with you, something that I just recently watched.

One of the companies that I like to highlight in my Eaglemoss vs. The World articles if called Furuta.
