Eaglemoss’ Hero Collector<\/em> has announced a new Build the USS Enterprise-D<\/em> subscription program which will result in a two-foot long model of the ship when completed.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The model is “based on a careful study of the original shooting models. The makers of Star Trek: The Next Generation<\/em> actually used three different models of the Enterprise-D<\/em>, all of which were subtly different. ILM<\/em> built a six-foot version that could separate, and a less elaborate two-foot version that could be used for more distant shots In TNG<\/em>‘s third season, the VFX team built a new four-foot version that was easier to use.<\/p>\n

“Our model pulls elements from all three of the models and is designed to look as much like the onscreen version as possible.”<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Subscribers will receive a magazine, which will discuss the design of the Enterprise-D<\/em> by Andy Probert<\/strong>, artwork, and an in-depth interview. Later magazines will “examine the different filming models in-depth, the design of the Enterprise’s interiors, and the secrets behind the visual effects.”<\/p>\n

Each kit includes instructions that “how you exactly how to put the pieces of your model together. The instructions couldn’t be easier to follow [and] every part is labeled and color-coded.<\/p>\n

The building process is incredibly straightforward. All the pieces are pre-painted, with all the decals in place. You simply clip or screw them together. There’s no need for any glue and you won’t need any tools that are more complicated than a screwdriver.”<\/p>\n

The ship will have working lights and the saucer is detachable.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first issue will only cost $4.95 (shipping is free) and will include model kits 1 and 2, with an assembly magazine and also two free pin badges.<\/p>\n

After this, four new model kits will be shipped every month, costing $12.90 each. Shipping for these kits will be $2.45 per kit.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

In total, there will be one-hundred-and-twenty model kits.<\/p>\n
