Excelsior is in order, as well as the Klingon Bird of Prey.

Finally in 1/367 scale (I think?) I would like to see more capital ship from Star Trek the Next Generation such as Federation Nebula Class Starship, Constellation Class Starship U.S.S. Stargazer, those subjects have been seen thoughtout the show and movies and I feel are fan favorites as much as the Enterprise-1701-C or the Klingon Attack cruiser was
So please take another look at those unsung heroes Round 2 Models.

Thanks

We don’t have an update to provide about the Galileo right now. I hope to have something soon (as in by Wonderfest). We have no plans to do additional crew figures on their own right now, but your suggestion has been noted. I appreciate your persistence, and thanks for your suggestions.

I would like a update of the shuttle craft model kit. I don’t care about the date, but I would like a answer. polar lights seems incapable of answering that. how about something easier, I asked about a personnel kit for the new bridge kit something in the order of about 10 people. a security guard for the turbo lift doors, a few tech in tech jump suits, a few more people to man the eight plus stations manned during red alert on the bridge. and maybe even a F-104 pilot in orange flight suit, or a romulan commander.

Actually, the Hindenburg, as well as ships like the Akron and Macon, are more accurately classified as “rigid airships”. A rigid airship has a metal frame into which gas bags are placed and are covered with a skin stretched over the frame which is why you see those longitudinal ribs.

“Zeppelin” is also technically incorrect but accepted for RIGID airships but was actually a brand (the Zeppelin company) named after the man of the same name… kinda like we call all facial tissues as “Kleenex” even if they are produced by a different company that cannot use the name.

“Blimps” are actually the name given to non-rigid airships like the Goodyear and Fuji blimps. These airships have no skeleton and the shape of the envelope is maintained by the pressure of the lifting gas (helium) and the adjustable ballonets inside.

The word “Blimp” apparently comes from a man named A.D.Cunningham, the commanding officer of a British air station in 1915 who snapped his thumb against the fabric of the nonrigid airship SS-12 and voiced the sound effect he’d created. “Blimp” stuck, and that’s why they are so called. Betcha didn’t know that, eh? 🙂

Yeah. Diamond scheduling is… hard to get a handle on…
The Deluxe Eagle will be out right around the turn of the new year. It may be here by Christmas, but I’m not in a position to make that a promise.

Here’s a thought – How about an Alien/Aliens Cadet Series kit with the Nostromo, Sulaco, and the crashed derelict from Alien. All in 1/2500 scale.

Those would be great to see, and would go well with the released Trek ships!

No idea why that took so incredibly long.

Any idea which quarter we will see the Space:1999 lab pod Eagle? Please please please do a 22 inch Eagle at some point!

Can’t say much at the moment as we are currently working out the details for that release.
