WARNING!: This will be a bit of a longer article than you may be used to getting from me.  It has been a long time since we looked a more than one model in the same article.

I am now caught up with the monthly Standard Edition releases from Eaglemoss, so let us sit back and have some fun with one of Eaglemoss' latest "Extra" releases, the Shuttlecraft Collection Set #4.  All four of these vessels come from the Kelvin Timeline, or Alternate Timeline, or what I like to simply call the JJverse.

Note: No mater how hard I try to take a picture of my sets, the pictures never turn out as nice as Eaglemoss' promotional shots.  So I have given up trying.  😀

The shuttles that Eaglemoss brings us this time are the USS Enterprise Transport Shuttlecraft, the USS Enterprise Passenger Shuttle, the Kelvin Med Evac Shuttle, and the USS Enterprise Warrant Shuttle.

EMvTW 135: Dala's (Delta Flyer) Ship

The other model that came out with this month's pairing was simply known as Dala's Ship, or Dala's Dela Flyer.  We are introduced to this beat up freighter in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Live Fast and Prosper".

Like the Vulcan Survey Ship of the 20th Century, this ship was not very big in the Star Trek Universe, which means, at this scale, Eaglemoss had a lot more material to work with and show off.

And we are moving right along with my catching up on the reviews since the new job situation.  Next up is the Vulcan Survey Ship that we are introduced to in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "Carbon Creek".

In the Star Trek Universe, this is a relatively small starship, which plays to our advantage because when recreated at this scale, Eaglemoss has a much larger canvas to work with.

EMvTW 133: Irina's Racing Ship

The new job is kicking my butt and leaving me too exhausted in the evenings to do any typing.  Luckily, the weekend is upon me and I have the energy to write some more.

Which brings us to the next ship in the Standard Edition line-up, Irina's Racing Ship which we get to see in action in the Star Trek Voyager episode called "Drive".

It has been a heck of a run for Eaglemoss with this standard line of models.  And as we slide into the last 30 or so models of the collection, we are going to start to see some interesting (we hope) ships.

Romulan - Lunala Class Bird Of Prey (JJVerse) [Scratchbuild]

After I got up close and personal during my review of the JJverse Klingon D4 Bird Of Prey, I began to wonder what the Romulans, more importantly, thier ships, would look like in this new universe.  You can read my review of the Klingon JJverse BOP at THIS LINK.  Eventually though, I shelved the thought and went on with my merry model making, until I came across a toy from a McDonald's Happy Meal.  And from that tou was born this model of what I imagine the Romulan Bird Of Prey would look like.

The though process behind this look was that in the TOS universe and era, the Klingons and Romulans were known to share technology.  That being said, it was feasable to me that the Romulan BOP might have a closer resemblance to the Klingon BOP.
