okudagrams! where's the override? the override!

Hmm. Now, do I just cancel the Pilot Version I ordered or is there a tiny chance my order is the only one that is what it actually says it is?

Got mine! No obvious paint errors or blemishes, phew! I gotta say i love it, it's got a lovely heft to it, the screw covers are really the only thing stopping this from being perfect. and maybe that seam in the shuttlecraft. and the stand. and the nacelle domes feel a little toy-ish. and I'm...

#1135, left coast, shipped yesterday, getting here early next week.

maybe it'll be a refit that turns up eventually? :D

Wow, that THUNK when they put her back in the box :D

I'm looking at the Bandai 1/850 Enterprise...it's got pearlescent decals over the whole thing, but only in a single hue. It doesn't look too bad...it sells the scale of the model, and reflects light in a nice way. I'd be happy with a scaled-up version with that level of fidelity.

What are the differences between TMP and WOK Enterprises? The level of pearlescent paint on the aztecing? Colour of the strongback? I'd sure like to see the main deflector change colour from impulse to warp.

Refit! Refit! My kingdom for a Refit! and then, in order of preference, 1701-D, D-7, Strange New Worlds 1701. although I'd also love to see a Reliant or Excelsior in the future too.

If the Refit was to go ahead and be at the same scale as the TOS 1701 I think it would definitely be would be more expensive. It's physically larger, there are more windows and a deeper shuttle bay, the paint job is more complex and there are more lights. There! are! more! lights! Sorry, I...

AW YESSSSS I have more money if you're gonna do that Refit, Tomy.

This seems more doable. I'm in!

I was hoping for a few more details when it went live. Is there an internal armature, or is the diecast metal stiff enough to support everything? Can you take it off the display stand? Where do the batteries go? If this is successful would there be other models in the future? I'd give a lot for...

hmm. So all I have to do is persuade my wife to keep her car outdoors? There's hope, you're saying?

But how? Are you going to live in it??
