Title: Enterprising idea
Post by: davekill on July 06, 2013, 04:14:39 PM
This is looks good... a cutaway Enterprise by Diamond Select.
It immediately appeals to the techy-geek in me.

Cheaper at this link below, but I need to hear more people's thoughts on it before dropping $150 down for it.

The one review there on Amazon didn't seem to care for it. It's a cool idea, I've always wanted to do one of those cutaway models.

Yeah, I saw that review too.  They say this is pre-painted.  Is it a true model or just a quickie snap together job?

I'd it's Diamond I imagine its pre-made. There used to be a large size AMT cutaway.

Yep, a bit larger than this one.  I found this one on eBay.  Looks like just a little assembly for it.

Yeah, I just don't think it has enough quality detail work on the interiors to justify that price.

Even if it was priced like the other ships, I would still pass on it. For whatever reason, it does not really appeal to me, like Bryan says, the interior does not look detailed enough.

Kind of agree guys.  What will be cool to see if we can get this at a discount, then maybe it can be opened up in order to detail it more.  I'd like to see one in person to know if that would be possible.  This could be awesome with some lighting, sounds, more details added, etc.
