Eaglemoss Reveals Next Bonus STAR TREK Ship Models

˙

˙

Today, Eaglemoss revealed their next round of standalone Star Trek ‘bonus issue’ model starships set to hit stores starting later this year, following in the footsteps of the USS Aventine, the interphase Defiant, and more special releases from around the Trek franchise.

First up are three special editions of the USS Voyager, starting with the partially-assimilated version of the starship as seen during “Scorpion, Part II” — the familiar Intrepid-class model has been modified with a host of Borg modifications and signature green highlights from the cybernetic race.

Next from Voyager is the long-awaited “Sternbach Concept” edition of the Intrepid-class design — something we’ve heard was on the way since last summer — based upon designer Rick Sternbach’s original trowel-shaped version of the ship.

A studio mock-up was produced early in Voyager‘s pre-production, but this is the first consumer model of this version of the ship that’s been released to fans.

The third Voyager-esque vessel is this concept design from Trek artist Doug Drexler, which was created as a potential starship design for the Star Trek: Voyager series (and was later submitted as a potential design for Star Trek: Enterprise).

The design eventually became the USS Altair, and featured in the 2007 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar.

Next up is another long-awaited, non-canon starship from the Star Trek Online gaming universe, the Odyssey-class USS Enterprise NCC-1701-F.

This is a model that gaming fans have been clamoring for ever since Eaglemoss started producing ships based upon secondary materials (like the Titan and Aventine from the novels).

Another version of the Klingon Bird-of-Prey model is set to join the fleet as well, though perhaps not the most exciting addition — after all, this will be the third edition of this starship planned for release, after the “flight mode” and “attack mode” configurations that have been available for some time.

Making this a bonus edition is probably the best place for this third Bird-of-Prey ship, so that it can be an optional purchase for regular subscribers and not take up a slot in the monthly fulfillment releases.

The final concept-design starship announced for this Official Starships Collection update is the Bonaventure-class NCC-1000, a starship which first appeared in the 2006 Star Trek: Ships of the Line calendar.

This ship was created by the artist ‘Meni’ and was intended to serve to bridge Starfleet’s design output from the NX-class to the starships of the Original Series era.

These starships are, for now, just digital renders for preview purposes, but as with all of the models, will have photographic previews available once physical models are produced.

No specific dates were announced for availability on these ships, aside from a “late 2018 through 2019” projection — and for those of you who are monthly subscribers to the model series, as ‘bonus issues,’ you’ll need to pick up the ones you want from the Eaglemoss web store.
