Title: Trek Model Heaven!
Post by: Rico on January 07, 2011, 04:57:13 PM
Man, this is an awesome site!  All kinds of cool Trek model kits (and many others).  Some that aren't available elsewhere.  I want them all!!!

P.S.  Bryan - you gotta buy some of this stuff!

I have bought from Starfleet models! Problem is they are all resin kits which require a few skills I don't have, that's why I always get the regular kits from AMT and the such. I am waiting for the Polar Lights release of the new Enterpise AND a rumored 1/350 scale TOS E to go with my refit!  :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Would be really cool to have builds of so many different Star Ships, really pushes me to start working on the stack of models I have sitting on my desk. Thanks for posting the link Rico, just fun to flip through all the kits and dream a bit :)

Not all resin kits on the site.  Some regular polystyrene stuff too.  And the resin kits look to be of high quality.  I think I'm going to order one (or two) and put my access to "very low cost" model paint and glue to use!  ;)

The Klingon Battle Cruisers have always been a favorite of mine. One of the first Models I built as a Teen was one. I did not really do a very good job of it unfortunately. Hopefully you can get yours done Bryan. I should really hunt another down and add it to my pile.

That is cool, I looking forward to see your work on it Bryan. I am going to keep an eye out on ebay and model sites for one as well.

I had to reread that for a moment.

you know I wish I had a room that I could paint a starfield on and then display a bunch of ships.  I will have to keep that in mind when we move.  Some of the ships are so cool looking.  I love it!  I think my favorite scenes in Star Trek stuff through the years are the big battle scenes or get together scenes where we get to see different ships.  SO AWESOME!

Wow awesome price as well for these. I wonder if they ship to the UK, probably would cost as much as the actual model.

There's a site based in the UK that carries many of those kits; I've ordered from them before. :) http://www.frontiermodels.co.uk/Star-Trek-p-1-c-278.html (http://www.frontiermodels.co.uk/Star-Trek-p-1-c-278.html)

Now that I'm back home, I need to tackle one of these bad boys.  Maybe a Reliant.  Always loved that ship design.

No problem, man. :)  I've got a cupboard full of resin Trek models in 1/2500 scale.  I need to find time to start building them!  :)
