QMx Returns to the Final Frontier with New STAR TREK Qraftworks Puzzlefleet, New Models Include USS Discovery and USS Cerritos

It’s been three years since the last time QMx unveiled a new Star Trek product — Discovery-era Enterprise crew badges, which to date remain unavailable — and while their involvement with the franchise had thought to be over, this month the company announced that they will be returning to the final frontier later this year.

A new line of papercraft starship models called Qraftworks will be flying out of spacedock in the second half of 2022, with a first wave of eight Star Trek starships represented in the initial lineup — though the “Puzzlefleet” lineup is said to cover “vehicles and props,” so future waves may include more than just famous ships.

Each Qraftworks starship is comprised of several dozen “precision-cut, full-color foamcore pieces,” which require no adhesive or tools for assembly. The first wave of starships touches upon every era of Star Trek history:

    • Constitution-class USS Enterprise from the Original Series
    • Klingon D7 Battlecruiser from the Original Series
    • Constitution-class refit USS Enterprise from the Star Trek films
    • USS Reliant from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
    • Klingon Bird of Prey from Star Trek III: The Search for Spock
    • Galaxy-class USS Enterprise-D from Star Trek: The Next Generation
    • Crossfield-class USS Discovery from Star Trek: Discovery
    • California-class USS Cerritos from Star Trek: Lower Decks

Here’s a preview of the first eight ships in the Qraftworks lineup; please note each image is a digital render and not a photograph of the final product.

Hopefully, a potential second wave of ships could include vessels such as the USS Defiant, the USS Voyager, the USS Protostar from Star Trek: Prodigy, La Sirena from Star Trek: Picard, the USS Enterprise-E, space station Deep Space 9, the Strange New Worlds-era USS Enterprise, and more from franchise history.

QMX’s Star Trek Qraftworks fleet is set to arrive in the third quarter of 2022, and each model is available for preorder now at QMx’s website for $14.95 each.

As for those Enterprise badges first announced in February 2019? Well, in 2020 the company told us that the products had been placed “on hold” at the time; likely awaiting announcement of the then-secretive Star Trek: Strange New Worlds series — but we’re hearing that now that Captain Pike’s Enterprise series is nearing its launch, we may see them finally arrive to QMx’s active product lineup.

In the meantime, our friends at FanSets have their own take on the Pike Enterprise command delta in magnetic form now.
