EMvTW 134: Vulcan Survey Ship (20th Century)

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.

EMvTW 132: Warship Voyager

I am happy to say that after 3 months, I have gotten a new job, which means that finances should be in order, and that should keep the reviews coming on a regular basis.  Unfortunately, the first two weeks of the new job were a bit exhausting and it's taken me until now to recuperate enough to want to write again.

With that being said, let us get going with the first of two new reviews, this one focusing on the Warship Voyager as it briefly appeared in the Star Trek: Voyager episode called "Living Witness".

This model marks the fourth variant that Eaglemoss has brought us of the USS Voyager in the standard sized line of models.

EMvTW Special 14: USS Kobayashi Maru ECS-1022 (Kobayashi Maru Type)

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

In this review, we get to take a look at a rather exciting addition to the Special Edition line of Eaglemoss ships.  The USS Kobayashi Maru (ECS-1022), at least this version of the ship, is seen in a simulator in the movie Star Trek (2009).

I have to admit, while I am not normally excited about the NuTrek starships in the Special Edition lineup, this is one of those more iconic vessels that have a history in the franchise, but has never really been brought to life in a pre-built and pre-painted format.

EMvTW Extra 09: Klingon Bird of Prey (23rd Century, Landing Position)

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

Our next issue of Eaglemoss vs. The World series is the 23rd Century Klingon Bird Of Prey.

We are first introduced to this ship in the movie, "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock" where... ummm...

Whoah!  Deja vu!!!

Well, it looks like Eaglemoss has decided to pull a trifecta and give us the 23rd Century Bird Of Prey one last time.  However, since they already gave us the BOP in the "Cruising Mode" (read that review at THIS LINK) and the BOP in the "Attack Mode" (read that review at THIS LINK), they have decided to round off that part of the collection with the BOP in "Landing Mode".

I will say that I am glad that Eaglemoss went the route of releasing this model as a limited edition "Extra" model instead of sneaking it into the Standard collection like they did back in Issue 107.  Not everyone is going to want this ship in this configuration, so it is nice that they didn't force it on the subscribers.

EMvTW 131: Arctic One

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

And we come to the last review from me for this month.  Seven fresh models and two Throwback Thursday reviews is a lot to write in a two week time-frame.  We will close out that run of reviews with Arctic One.

We are introduced to in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode that is titled, "Regeneration".  Wait... I feel like I've said that before.  Oh yeah!  I have!  In Eaglemoss' attempt to bring us a complete collection, they introduced us to this ship once before, however, it was in the form of it's assimilated mode.  If you want to check out my review of that model, feel free to check out THIS LINK.

During the conclusion of that review article, I had this to say about the Assimilated Arctic One, "In the end, I am forced to admit that with what I know now, that I probably wouldn't buy this one.  UNLESS... I knew that Eaglemoss was definitely going to produce the un-altered Artctic One.  Then the completionist in me would want to buy it and display it next to her un-altered state."

I am willing to eat my words when I'm wrong, so here I am, saying that I need to go update that other article when I'm done writing this one.
