Mr. Probert’s prototype Ambassador would be awesome. It would be interesting to see the pin-striping to the Enterprise he envisioned be included in the 1/1000 as optional decals.

That was a good Andrew Probert interview!
Have you thought about models of the Travel Pod and the Work Bee also the Cargo-Train. This would go with Andrew Probert designs of the models in TMP.

Fabulous interviews with both Church and Probert. Obviously a no-brainer to incluide their original art on the box covers since they are the original designers. Nothing like getting things directly from the source, as it were.

Jamie, I hope we all can get to see your painting of the Enterprise maybe in some other format somewhere… like maybe as a bonus poster in a future release? It’s always nice to see fresh art!

I think it’s great that Andrew Probert’s image will appear on the box cover. When I was a kid I would cut out the box covers and put them in picture frames. If I can just get my wife to let me hang the 1/1000 Refit Enterprise’s box cover in the living room…

Having Ryan Church do the box cover illustration for the new movie Enterprise makes sense. These box covers are now as nice as the kits themselves.

I plan on building one of the new movie Enterprise kits as it appears in Ryan’s original concept drawing with the amber colored bussards and smoother hull. I still feel this is how the ship should have appeared in the film.

I’m sure you’ll get another opportunity as you’ve done great work on other kits. But Probert’s image is stunning. It takes me back to when I built models as a kid and would cut out the box covers and make them posters on my wall.

Great kit releases by the way. It’s going to be an exciting 2010.
