While people are throwing out ideas here, have you guys considered trying your glow-in-the-dark plastic route and Defiant decals for the upcoming 1/350 1701 kit?

Warborg hit on two fine points there the NX-01 1/350 scale
would make a fine re-release perhaps with battle damaged parts
like from the ENT episode Azati Prime.

maybe include a Xindi 1/1000 scale ship with kit? Maybe?

As far as the DS9 USS Defiant how about having the re-release version be molded in clear and come with a lower docking bay intereior with chaffee shuttlecraft.

Hi Warborg-
1- yes, eventually.
2- We don’t own the tooling for the Voyager kit. That isn’t to say we could not do a new Voyager kit at some point.
3- yes, eventually.
4- Prometheus would be a ways down our list of possibilities. A Dreadnaught? No firm plans, but it has been under consideration at times.

Never posted here, but been following Round2/Polar Lights stuff for a while, bought most of the Fed ships, and still have my 1/350 Ent-A collecting dust until my skills are where I can do it justice. A couple of questions…

1. Is there ANY chance of re-issuing the NX-01 1/350?
2. Is there a possibility of a re-issue of the U.S.S. Voyager? I would love to have another crack at that ship without the eBay prices attached.
3. Lastly (less important to me personally) might we seea re-issue of the U.S.S. Defiant kit as well (I know about the one in the DS9 kit, just hoping for the full sized kit as well).
4. Actually, one that just came to mind… I know this is probably HIGHLY unlikely but I’ll ask anyway… Ever a chance of getting a new kit of the U.S.S. Prometheus? I know it’s a minor ship in the ST lore, but always loved the design… Or if not this, maybe a Dreadnaught kit or conversion parts?

Arelem- I’d love to do a series of kits based on his designs some day.

I just watched the fan-made movie Star Trek of Gods and Men
for the second time and I must have missed some part of it
before because man they had some really nice starship designs

I really think some of the designs would really make for
some nice aftermarket kits for the 1/350 scale 1701 and if
you have not seen Star Trek Of Gods and Men you have to check
it out. As fan movie goes, it’s pretty good.

Between this post and the club update, there was so much good stuff to read! Like Fortress mentioned with the add-on packs. You’ll need at least a nacelle pack of 1-3 engines for those so inclined. I bet a saucer/neck option would be a seller. Easy packaging, parts already tooled. Being so much cheaper than buying another full kit, you will get more sales is my bet. I’m certainly up for building a Scout without having to buy a full Connie. Cheers!

BatToys- Like I said int he report, we are giving away the kits at the show to promote the kit just as much for the show itself. No other plans for a giveaway at the moment.

Mach7- We have put some thought into doing full size props, but we just aren’t sure how they would do against the other built props that are out there.

fortress- Some good ideas to explore there.
