If those were found to have sold in respectable numbers, then you’d kind of go, “Okay, we still have this business making Starfleet ships. We just have to treat some of the alien ships with a bit more caution.” That’s to be expected when you’ve made 400 individual ships! Again, I cannot make any promises, but I can tell you that there are people who are interested in whether that can be sorted out — just hold tight and give people a chance to try and sort something out.

NOTE: There may be an issue seeing the pop-out menu when using a device with a small screen width (such as a mobile phone or tablet in portrait orientation). I recommend using a desktop or laptop computer with a large screen. This errant behavior is being investigated by their IT team. On a smaller secondary scale printed in white, Hours indicated with roman numerals with triangles at 12-3-6-9. That was frustrating to me as well, and I wasn’t allowed to talk to them about it. They have been really supportive, and they are determined to do everything they can to help people — particularly on the build-up subscriptions as a first priority. Because of his status as an Eaglemoss employee, Robinson was barred from speaking publicly about the situation within the company — until this week, when he formally separated from Eaglemoss and regained the power to share his perspective. This watch is probably based on a 1960s Omega Seamaster 300. Some sections of the french Navy used a watch bought "off the shelf”, the Tudor ‘Oyster Prince’, however one section, SHOM; Service Hydrographique et Océanonographique de la Marine, was supplied by Omega, the role of the department is to document and map the worlds oceans both for military and public service.According to the magazine this watch is based on Vietnam Era US military spec watches produced by various companies such as Timex and Bradley. ROBINSON: That’s a good question. I’m not privy to everything that’s happened, but essentially, the owners of Eaglemoss pursued a strategy of very aggressive expansion and aggressive growth — with the intention of making the company as attractive to a potential buyer as possible. The way it feels to me is that they over-egged it. If you’re going to do something that is really niche, or an unusual thing like a studio-scale model; something that you know is a real collector product. What I don’t think people should do is use it as a substitute for normal business, when there are other ways to gauge consumer interest without getting into the crowdfunding thing at all. That said, there are things that are more niche and obscure where I think crowdfunding is appropriate — like for a limited run of a special publication or something. I had an idea to do a book based upon Syd Dutton’s Star Trek matte paintings, which were heavily photographed before they went up for auction last year.

polished finish. 41.5mm including partially recessed crown, smoothly curves to lugs 45.2mm lug to lug, 11mm deep. I can assure you there is no such thing as an irrelevant question, and we won’t be blasting you for not owning a Rolex, or even not owning a Seiko, or for owning a ‘Hello Kitty' watch and not knowing what a chapter ring is. We were waiting to see whether the sales recovered with the 32nd-century ships. Again, it’s difficult, because you’re getting to a point when we knew that Voyager-J from Discovery Season 3 sold really well. People love that ship. I think the Nog had also just come came out, and I don’t really know what happened with the sales figures on that one. Things were starting to get a bit messy by that point. Promotional artwork for the ‘Star Trek Universe’ Starship Collection, focused on starship models from the Paramount+ television shows. TREKCORE: Last year, Eaglemoss seemed to be riding high with a number of new Star Trek announcements, and new license acquisitions like Stargate and The Expanse— and now it’s effectively out of business. What can you tell us about the recent shutdown of the company, from your experience on the inside?

This is an Asian made homage to another Omega watch, the Planet Ocean, it has similar Baguette hour markers and the distinctive Omega style curved case. Large straight hours and minutes hands with pointed tips, thin straight seconds hand. Green lume on hours and minutes hands. And this is the Lemania that would have been more likely issued during the early post WW2 period, note the single pusher for the chronograph. The Case colour is wrong for this model, or the dial is wrong for this style case, either way they don’t belong on the same watch. The printing on the dial is the wrong size, and a little fuzzy and faded close up. The seconds hand is too big for its scale, and the hands are the wrong colour, they should match the case. The quality of finish just too poor to be real. worse than the above homage in many respects, but they are after one thing, profit.

I think Star Trek’s in a really good place in the moment. I have yet to meet someone who told me they really didn’t like Strange New Worlds. It’s core Star Trek, of a kind I don’t think we’ve actually seen probably since 1968. I think even the third season of the Original Series didn’t quite deliver core Star Trek in the way that Strange New Worlds has.plated polished finish. 50.7mm including crown, 51.6mm lug to lug, 11mm deep. 41.6mm interior aperture. ROBINSON: There are various different stages that things are at — and the most important thing is there’s a massive amount of investment that comes into making the production tooling. Once that tooling has been made, it is quite cost-effective to make the models. Numerous companies still manufacture watches with similar specification with both quartz and mechanical movements.

Chrome and White straight hour and minute hands with sharply tapered points. Day and date hands chrome. Lume on minute and hour hands only. We got noticed by the moderators, who had trouble even viewing what was now well over 25,000 posts. They decided to relaunch us as a version 2 of ourselves, and keep an eye on us. a close eye. Posts started to be removed for being off topic, and we got bullied out of our little home. TIP: Since the survey is presented via Google Forms, you will need a valid Google account to complete it. One survey submission per account. ROBINSON: Yes, absolutely. I’m not done! Well, I may be done for now, but not through any choice of my own! I’m keen to be involved and to make this happen. The second thing I need to say is that there are people who are interested in taking over the build ups and the other models. It’s too early to make any promises but people are trying and we’ll do everything in our power to make sure these projects continue. CBS are supportive.

ROBINSON: I think it’s somewhere in between. It’s going to be a bit of both. I think there is clearly value for somebody in continuing to make our XL versions of the Enterprises and Voy ager available. The best thing we ever did is that Original Series XL Enterprise; it is still my favorite model from all of them.
