derex3592 Posted January 9, 2020 Posted January 9, 2020 Shelf 2 up and full. Couldn't fit DS9 and Space Dock though.. Oh well. Quote
Mommar Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 Man, that's nice. I might jump on those. Quote
Mommar Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 You've got some good ships I need to add to my collection still too. And we are both severely lacking an Oberth. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 10, 2020 Posted January 10, 2020 My days of buying whatever I wanted whenever I want are long gone, (single life...VS married life LOL). I use to just buy 3 or 4 at a time if I liked the look of the ships. Now I have to cherry pick what I really want when I can afford it. Macross stuff usually takes priority over the Eaglemoss stuff and I do get put off Eaglemoss for a while when they have craptastic QC problems. Quote
Mommar Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Well that's an odd pick for the next XL. Personally I think they should fix the most iconic version of the Enterprise they screwed up (The A) in favor of releasing one of Doug Drexlers worst ideas. https://shop.eaglemoss.com/usa/star-trek-starships/uss-enterprise-ncc-1701-j-xl-edition-azati-prime Quote
Sanity is Optional Posted January 18, 2020 Posted January 18, 2020 Probably the ugliest ship in the entire expanded Star Trek universe, and they made it one of the Enterprises. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 I guess I'm the only one who actually thinks it's cool. But as much as I want a larger one, I'm waaaaaay to scared of EM's track record of bad QC, especially with those delicate nacelles. It may sway me if they detailed the XL better, not just enlarge the small one. We'll see I guess. Not like they will be hard to find... Quote

Do the FASA designs count as the expanded universe? If so then it isn't even in the top (how many designs did FASA do?) Quote

I doubt it if anything not directly controlled by paramount/CBS counts (have they done any of the GR-decreed Non-cannon designs like the Saladin-class?) Edited January 19, 2020 by TehPW Quote

So there’s that. Quote
Sildani Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 FASA designs? They did a heck of a lot more than 6 - 8. Quote
Mommar Posted January 19, 2020 Posted January 19, 2020 There’s an awful lot of atrocious FASA designs out there. Quote
derex3592 Posted January 20, 2020 Posted January 20, 2020 Finished up my led lighting for my Star Trek shelves at work. Looks great. Dimmable as well. Quote

derex3592 Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 The LED's? Easy, if you're good at soldering in mid-air..LOL. Hind sight being 20/20 I should have measured it all out and wired them all together on a desk. Would have been much easier, but I was impatient and wanted it done. Buy a roll of the LED's and cut them into different lengths and practice a few times first making jumpers, you can buy solderless interconnects but those weren't going to look as clean as I wanted it to look. If you haven't done any soldering though, that might be the way to go. Quote
Mommar Posted January 22, 2020 Posted January 22, 2020 No soldering for me. I haven’t touched that in nearly 20 years. Quote

Dobber Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 The MkIII, Blackbird, and Scar Raider are available to preorder on the US Eaglemoss site. Chris Quote

Mommar Posted January 25, 2020 Posted January 25, 2020 ...and then I immediately fraked up measuring the wall anchors. Quote
Mommar Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 I’m still trying to figure out how I want to arrange these things. Quote
Mommar Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) I went back and spaced all of the ships across the whole thing so each one gets more space. But now I know where I can nip and tuck in places when I inevitably buy more things than I have the room for. Edited January 26, 2020 by Mommar Quote
derex3592 Posted January 26, 2020 Posted January 26, 2020 (edited) Bad thing about having these at work, one of my employees came in and starting touching things. Next thing I know 3 have fallen off their stands and hit the ground. OF COURSE it was the very delicate Enterprise J....Yeh that nacelle broke right off. Another was the Nebula class that the radar dome thing and one nacelle popped off. Easy fix on that one, little glue and all is well. He's already ordered me a new Ent. J. I need to make a KEEP AWAY sign apparently! Some of them are very unstable on their stands and very nose heavy. Still..KEEP AWAY FROM MY STUFF ASSHAT! Freakin millennials!

Simple, I spend far more time in my office than in the back room of my house where these were just sitting and getting dusty...This way I get to display them where I can see them every day. I have lots of models and toys around my office. Never had a problem before this incident. Quote
