EMvTW 138: USS Lantree (NCC-1837) (Miranda Class)

We are really cruising along with the catch-up writings of these reviews.  The next model under my microscope is the USS Lantree (NCC-1837), yet another Miranda class variant.

This particular ship makes its appearance in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode called "Unnatural Selection".

EMvTW 137: Xindi Humanoid (Primate) Ship (Ateleth Class)

Next in line for the Standard Releases of the Eaglemoss Star Trek Starship collection is the Xindi Humanoid (or Primate) Ship.

We are first introduced to this type of starship in the Star Trek: Enterprise episode called "E2".

EMvTW 136: Cardassian Keldon class

This model has been a long time coming.  Fans have been waiting for it for quite some time and unfortunately, us US collectors are still waiting for it.  As of the writing of the article on January 24th, 2019, the model is still not available on the US Eaglemoss Webstore, and it is now a month overdue, as Eaglemoss has already made the next month's models available.  Luckily, I found it on eBay for a very decent price and am now able to move forward with catching up on several reviews.

I am of course talking about the Cardassian Keldon class starship, which we are first introduced to in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Defiant".

I currently have two models of this type of ship in my collection; the new Eaglemoss model, and a very old MicroMachine version.

Shadow Empire Constitution Class

It has been a bit since I shared one of my model builds.  With the rewrite of my Eaglemoss vs. The World review of the TOS Constitution Class (you can read that review at THIS LINK), this model came back into the light.

I figured that it was time to give it an article.

NO DISCO ENTERPRISE!!!

It seems that I have started getting a regular group of followers and readers for this Blog so I figured I might as well fill in my new readers as to what you WON'T find me reviewing and the reasons why I won't be going down that path.

First and foremost, I make no money with my reviews.  I get no kick-back from the manufacturers, nor do they send me any free products to review.  While, it would be nice to get something for all my hard work, it simply is not the case.  Which means, everything you see me reviewing has been paid for out of my own pocket.  And let me tell you, I am not a rich man or collector.  😁  In fact, I'm a divorced dad, in the process of getting remarried, and supporting three children, two dogs, and two cats, so the funds go to taking care of the family first.  so my collecting is typically done on a "shoe-string" budget.

EMvTW SC04 - Shuttlecraft Collection Set 4

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

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

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.
