Just need my leg to heal so I can get down there and start working on it.

Pictures will most definitely be required when that gets done! . The most affordable display cabinets I've found are from ikea (predictably) and actually seem pretty good, so you could throw a couple of those in to your future nerd basement. My only problem with them is that I want a case with revolving stands and I'm just not willing to spend like £300 for that luxury!

Speaking of pictures, could we get some detail shots of these awesome models?

Farron · Posted Sat 12 Oct, 2013 9:34 AM

Here's a few hastily taken phone pics. If you want to see any model from a particular angle say so and I'l try and take some better ones later

NOTE: The B'Rel does not come with cat hair as standard, that feature can be added later by your pets, it would seem :/

EDIT: After Mrs. Colly saw me post this, she insisted I say that this is another room in need of decoration. (doesn't look that bad does it? :/)

Nice pictures Collier. I don't yet have the D'Deridex, but it seems to be a really good figure.

I thought I'd upload some detailed photos showing off a couple of the ships from various angles, so you can get a good idea of the quality of these things.

Enterprise NX-01

As you can see from the second image, the figure attaches to it's stand in a very satisfyingly discrete way. That's one thing I was really impressed with on this figure.

U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D

The figure attaches to the stand in much the same way as the NX; the stand slots in just behind the saucer section. Although not as discrete as the stand that comes with the NX, it has to support the greater weight of this figure so is much bulkier. Definitely doesn't detract from the figure though.

The Galaxy Class Enterprise is so far still my favourite figure to be released by Eaglemoss, that's not to say the others aren't fantastic though! If anyone wants me to post a couple of photos of the other figures I'd be more than welcome.

This is how my collection is shaping up so far and how I'm displaying them (minus DS9 which I keep on my desk). How is everyone else finding the models so far? Favourites/least favourites, impressed/unimpressed?

I may have to buy issue 11...

I'd get a subscription except I can't afford to Q_Q

I'm excited for issue 11 as well actually, the Reliant looks like it's going to be a good one! Just sell an organ and you're good to go.

A subscription gets you the Borg cube too right? It's so tempting, what's the going rate on a lung these days...

Farron · Posted Tue 03 Dec, 2013 6:48 PM

Where's your "All Good Things" Enterprise Dentari?!

I was pleasantly surprised to get DS9 and the Gal-x along with my last two and honestly, I'm quite happy with the whole collection so far. Noticed a couple of typo's in the mags but I'll let it slide XD Same day I got my latest GITS figure so I nerdgasm'd pretty hard that day. I think I'll need a cabinet like yours too before long, these ships along with my Batmobiles and GITS stuff are starting to take up a lot of space.

And Three! You need to keep up the sub for that Borg Cube desk lamp, if anyone should get that it's you!

Dentari · Posted Tue 03 Dec, 2013 6:49 PM

Well the subscription gifts come at intervals, but you get:

- Enterprise Plaque
- Future Enterprise-D
- Also yes, the big light up Borg Cube
- Binders for the magazines
- Online copies of the magazine to use on PC/ipad etc

Do it! You won't regret it.. Well you might, but that's a problem for future you

I've yet to receive it I didn't subscribe from the first issue so I'll be getting the Galaxy X next issue with my Reliant, Thunderchild and borg Sphere! Yeah, they do seem to leave in typos every now and then, but I'm so impressed that like you, I'll let it slide .

This is the display case I'm using, it's the best one for the price in my opinion Should serve well for your Batmobiles as well!

Subscription to what a magazine?

Farron · Posted Tue 03 Dec, 2013 10:13 PM
