Star Trek - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D Dreadnought (All Good Things) Ship - Star Trek Official Starships Collection by Eaglemoss Collections

Product Information

There is always a possibility that Eaglemoss comes out of ‘administration’ a stronger company or becomes a entirely new company. Another partwork company could also buy all or parts of the Eaglemoss assets, licensing/IP rights, or manufacturing and finish the builds we have already begun. Many builders, like myself, have sunk a huge amount of money into these builds and we all truly want to finish them. Otherwise, we have some very expensive paperweights. But behind the scenes, we hear that work is actively underway to transfer all assets, licensing and distribution rights from Eaglemoss to Premium & Collectibles Trading (PCT), also trading as IXO Models.

One disappointing part of the upgrade is the new deflector dish, an untextured piece of molded plastic which almost seems to have been an afterthought; Drexler’s concept graphics for the ship seen in the 2001 Ships of the Line calendar, along with the Eaglemoss magazine for this release, show the deflector having the same ridged detail later seen on the Constitution-class Enterprise.

The Enterprise NCC-1701-D

For the (abandoned) 2011 Japanese partwork version, please see The Official Star Trek The Next Generation: Build the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D. Kit parts were designed to easily snap together and only a screwdriver, included with the first issue, was required for (some) assembly. Praised by Lebowitz for their high level of detail, Ed Giddings' pre-existing Centaur and Excelsior models, constructed for the canceled 2000 Unseen Frontier reference book project, were deemed as quite suitable for use in the Official Starships Collection, as was his 2010 spin-off build of the refitted Excelsior-class which he had built for Bonchune's USS Enterprise Owners' Workshop Manual reference book. [7] New or replacement CG models that Ed Giddings' Cgreactor has provided for the Collection, as identified online, include issues 8, 40, 42, 46, 52, 59, 90, 98, 103, 123, SP1, Bonus issues 08 and 19, and XL issue 17.

The XL Enterprise-C is a significant improvement upon the smaller version from the regular Official Starships Collection, which was met by significant criticisms from fans for both its shape and detailing. Many of the XL-sized models are just sized-up versions of the original release (the most recent release in the line, the XL Runabout, suffers from being such), but it is clear with the Enterprise-C that many of the criticisms of the standard release were heard, and a number of corrections were made. A number of fans don’t care for the modifications that turned the Excelsior into the Enterprise-B, but they work for me, and they add additional detail and interest to the model, and contribute to creating that sense of scale.Overall, this is a really nice model, and while it may not add much to the original smaller version of the ship, the XL Enterprise-B it is a well constructed model that nicely contributes to rounding out the line of Enterprises on your display shelf. All this unfortunately took some time, and we do apologize to have been keeping you waiting so long. As identified online, Rob Bonchune has created 3D starship models and/or renders for issues 4, 10, 23, 24, 26-28, 30-32, 34, 37, 38, 40, 41, 48, 50, 55, 57, 60, 63, 65, 67, 71, 88, 93, 94, 98, 99, 102, 115, 117, 134, 154, 155, XL1, XL4, XL8, and Shuttlecraft Set 1.

It is true that we did an agreement with EAGLEMOSS UK liquidators to acquire part of their assets. Since we own the tools of several projects that they distributed, our main concern was to find a way to allow collectors to finish their models. In October 2016, Eaglemoss Publications premiered the first volume of the Star Trek: Designing Starships series, a line of hardcover reference books that are primarily comprised of starship design articles from the Starships Collection partworks' individual magazines, combined with new artwork, charts, and expanded material. Simon Hugo, a contributing author to the project, added that the magazines include "a complete TNG episode guide, with behind-the-scenes insights, rare concept art, and whatever other interesting nuggets we can get our hands on. They’re really fun to research and write, and hopefully a lot of fun to read, too!"

Star Trek: The Official Starships Collection was a British magazine/ display model collectible partwork publication and product line that was published by Eaglemoss Collections under its Hero Collector imprint and overall supervision of Project Manager Ben Robinson. Authorized and licensed by Paramount Consumer Products, it had been available in a substantial number of countries worldwide. The Ambassador-class Federation starship design made its formal first appearance in the form of the USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C, appearing in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode “Yesterday’s Enterprise”— but the starship seen in that classic adventure isn’t the first design created for the Enterprise-C. As Special Issues, models of the USS Enterprise-D's shuttles were also manufactured in die-cast metal and ABS, similarly sized (120-140 mm) to the Standard Edition starships from the company's first starship collection. [11] [5] No.

In hindsight, it became clear that the overall 2020 termination of subscription services for the Standard Edition was actually intended as a desperate cost-saving measure by the soon-to-be-bankrupt Eaglemoss. This is similar to the difference between a Chapter 11 and a Chapter 7/13 bankruptcy in the US. This ‘administration’ means that a trustee will attempt to resolve the debts of the company via reorganization and try to save the company. I really hope this is the case. Limited Edition art prints included Certificates of Authenticity signed by the artist(s) and were produced in limited editions of 1,500 units each. The graphic for the first release measured 19.5 × 26.5 cm and is printed onto a 30 × 40 cm sheet of 310 gsm Hahnemühle German etching paper. The project manager had stated that he considered every Andorian, Borg, Dominion, Kazon, Klingon, Romulan, Suliban, Tellarite, Vidiian, Vulcan, and Xindi ship to be "essential" to the collection, and aspired to produce all of the Federation ships seen on-screen.
