Polar Lights / Round 2 Pre-Assembled 1:2500 U.S.S. Discovery

Hi, Everyone!

A few years ago, Round 2 released a pre-assembled Space: 1999 1:48 22-inch Eagle 2 Transporter (kit number MPC917).  It was pre-decorated and finished, and all anyone had to do was slide the various assemblies into place for a complete build ready to be displayed.  Although not so much meant for scale modellers, it was aimed at genre collectors, and it did well.  Now Round 2 is ready to dip its toes back into that pool but this time for Star Trek fans with a pre-assembled U.S.S. Discovery (kit number POL979)!

  • 1:2500 scale
  • 12-inches (304.8 mm) long model that is perfect for a bookshelf or desktop display
  • Fully decorated with accurate colors and aztec patterns
  • 4 parts total which includes snap-together display stand
  • Unique "window box" that allows two-way viewing from top and bottom of the ship if one decides not to take the model out of the package
  • $121.99 U.S.D. MSRP
  • November / December 2020 release


Check out the official images below!

Stay tuned...

Comparing The AMT 1:650 TOS Enterprise Deflector Dish Assemblies With A 3D Printed Version

Image
Hi, Everyone! I started a project to make a more accurate deflector dish assembly for the AMT / ERTL / Round 2 1:650 TOS U.S.S. Enterprise model kit. Back in the early 1970s, AMT changed the tooling of their 1:650 U.S.S. Enterprise model.  Although the kit itself from its original 1966 tooling had its accuracy problems, the changes made in the early 1970s created even more issues.  One of the issues was the deflector dish assembly: The housing was changed / simplified where the outside wall was raised higher, the inner three stepped rings were all made the same height as the outside wall, and the three "extrusions" from the secondary hull were added. The dish assembly was changed from an overly large dish with an equally overly long stem to a detail-less pie pan looking dish with a shortened stem.   When the Smithsonian put together the team for the 2016 TOS Enterprise 11-foot filming miniature restoration project, Gary Kerr - Star Trek historian and filming miniature ...

Information Preservation - The New Enterprise Photo Survey - By Phil Broad

Image
Hi, Everyone! Here is another blog article that I put together in order to preserve modeling information originally posted on other sources. Back in the 2000s, Star Trek fan and archivist Phil Broad posted various black and white photos of the Enterprise refit filming miniature.  Since detailed photographs of the Enterprise refit filming miniature during the time of Star Trek: The Motion Picture 's production are generally scarce, Phil's pictures are unique in that they were taken by him after the completion of TMP but before the production of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan .  This makes the photos quite valuable as reference images to anyone who is researching the miniature as it appeared in TMP . Phil put up his pictures on his now-defunct website hosted by now-gone service provider Cloudster.com.  The pictures themselves have not been considered rare for quite some time and can be found elsewhere, but through the magic of the Internet Archive Wayback Machine his web...

[In The Stash] Monogram 1:48 Draconian Marauder

Image
Hi, Everyone! In 1978, the year after the original Star Wars became a successful worldwide phenomenon, Glen A. Larson and Universal Studios began production on a planned series of Buck Rogers TV movies for NBC.  During that same year, the pilot for Battlestar Galactica was re-edited into a theatrical movie which ran in some countries and in key locations in North America.  That film did well at the box office, so Universal decided to release the first Buck Rogers TV movie in theaters as well.  The box office returns were good which led NBC to commission a weekly TV series instead of more television movies.  Thus Buck Rogers In The 25th Century began on September 20, 1979. Given the subject matter, the show was decidedly campy with production values that easily date the episodes with 1970s futurism.  However, the two seasons of Buck Rogers gave viewers a few iconic goodies including the suave and charming Captain William "Buck" Rogers, the oftentimes Sp...
