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.
