Star Trek- Into Darkness

Josh Ryder

Just to get a sense of this specific forum, is anyone building anything resembling ships from the new Star Trek movie? After seeing some of the new ships, I'd love to get some kits (make my own?)

Thoughts?

You mean like the new Revell of Germany Star Trek USS Enterprise?

I think I might have to add this to my Enterprise collection. But so far this is the only kit I have seen from the new movies. But not seen anyone building it yet.

its apparently only available in the UK.  What a slap in the face.

I think Revell Germany often release their kits here first before they get across the pond. But no doubt it will be over there soon, to big a market to miss.

That one looks good -- would LOVE to see the Dreadnaught produced.

My jaw dropped on that one...catching the E in Warp. oi Vey.

Cheers,

Dave

I should have referenced the ship as it's correct name: the USS Vengeance.

take a look here:

I will when they issue a model.

Some companies have bought/imported but they sell out instantly.

I hear there will be a US release this fall.

Cult TV man is selling them

Think Cult TV man sold out. They're €35.99 here in Ireland. Think that's about $55 + USD. Watch shipping as its quite a large box.

www.starshipmodeler.com has those for pre-order at the moment.

I don't  get it.

Star Trek, almost an American Institution.

Yet the movie is released overseas before it is here and this model is released and only available in Europe!

A Vengeance by Hot Wheels and the Bird of Prey

Federation models has resin kits of some of the new Star Trek ships.

www.federationmodels.com

You'll find several under Federation Models in the models section.

out of stock?!

Online response in forum. People really trashed the film version of the ship.

Also, pre-orders weren't high enough.

If it's a Star Trek Enterprise I will build it. Even a butt-ugly one is better than no Enterprise!

And it's not THAT bad. I like some bits of it very much... the saucer section.

Hate the Bridge though. Looks like a bloody Vegas Casino.

If memory serves, there was a negative response to the "D" from ST:TNG.....

I think after DARKNESS, the new enterprise design gained a new respect from me.....

NJJ-1701 is a characture IMHO.

People really trashed the film version of the ship.

The exterior itself, I don't mind.  Most of my criticism was regarding the technical aspects that were completely ignored, the scale issues throughout the first movie, and the "USS Anheuser-Busch" interiors.  I can understand trying to do something different, but the JJ Enterprise interiors completely ignored "form follows function" and made it completely chaotic.

The bridge took some getting used to.I felt it looked like a high-tech candy store.

Just got mine delivered to the front door from Cult TV man. I was on their "notify when you get some" list for the second set of kits that came in and ordered it quickly. They sold out again in a very short time. Looks like it's going to be fun. Unfortunately there are no after-market parts yet. It definitely needs some aztecing decals and I 'm thinking it would be cool with some lighting...

I'll be all over this kit once I'm done the 'real' CVN 65 Enterprise.

Grabbing the LED kit I found online, and I'll be hand painting the Aztecs like a lunatic.

I agree. The bridge design is strange. All that bright light would give me a headache.

People in the future don't suffer eye fatigue or seizures.  The bridge was an exciting set piece but I would never want to work there.  The rest of the ship, to me, had a hard time deciding what it wanted to be.  On minutes it's a high tech adventure vessel of exploration and the next it was a factory with high, multi story ceilings and concrete floors.  And the scaling inside and out was way out of wack.  

Aside from the German Revell kit the only JJ Trek kits I have seen were all from garage castings from one company resin, expensive, and very hard to find, as I suspect the studio stormtrooper lawyers got all over them. I have to admit i am VERY disappointed in Abrams/Paramount for totally screwing Trek fans with no plastic kits from the 2009 flick, it has to do with the legal BS, not in any lack of interest.
