Very cool! Konami is going to produce their own Star Trek micros very similar in nature the Johnny Lightning, Furuta, Romando, and Galoob ships. I am really stoked about this because Konami has already demonstrated that they can make high quality, highly detailed miniatures (Space 1999, TOS Battlestar Galactica, Alien(s), Etc... plus a whole slew of anime). These Trek ships were first shown back in October or November of last year. No release ETA that I can find has been announced.

Sounds like more potential Kitbashing Fodder for those of us in to 1/2500 scale Trek! :thumbsup:

 

[PixelMagic]

Forgive me if I overlooked it, but how do we know they are 1/2500th scale?

 

[ClubTepes]

Protos look nice, just wish the plastic wasn't so soft.

Who was behind all of those FASA 1/3900 scale plastic kits? I loved those. Still have a few to build.

 

[Griffworks]

Forgive me if I overlooked it, but how do we know they are 1/2500th scale?

I never claimed them to be 1/2500 nor can I access the websites linked to so have no clue of their true sizes. However, seeing as they'll very likely be in the 3" to 5" size range, the pieces/parts should lend themselves rather well to kitbashing in 1/2500 scale. They don't have to be 1/2500 scale themselves to make for good 'bashing fodder.

Well, they are certainly very well detailed. I wonder how they will look painted.

 

[TGel63]

The detail is excellent, I hope the paint job is just as good.

Well, here are some recent pics taken at this summer's Wonder Festival in Japan:

They look great but I am a bit concerned about the Klingon D-7...

:lol: Nice work they did there!

 

[PixelMagic]

Ha ha, that's hilarious about the D-7.

 

[CaptFrank]

They look great!
Incredible detail!
Much better than the Micro Machines (that I still have.).

That's funny about the D-7. One would think the guys who
do this would know how to build it.

 

[Trekkriffic]

That K'tinga needs a refit for sure !

 

[chiangkaishecky]

Who says it's a D-7?
.....maybe its a D-L?

 

[StarshipClass]

Wow! Great detail (though completely out of scale for that size! )!

I'd love to know how big they're going to be.

 

[irishtrek]

Thaat is not a D-7 it is how ever a K'Tinga class Klingon battle cruiser.
Don't you guys know the difference by now? :wave:

 

[Nova Designs]

Sure we know the difference, but the upside-down cobra head isn't one of them!!! :wave:

 

[Lloyd Collins]

Is the head upside down, or is the body?

 

[CaptFrank]

D-7...
K'Tinga...
whatever.
It's all the same thing. :thumbsup:

 

[uss_columbia]

Thaat is not a D-7 it is how ever a K'Tinga class Klingon battle cruiser.
Don't you guys know the difference by now? :wave:

(and in agreement with Capt. Frank's post, above)


From Voyager, it's established that the Ktinga variant is still a "D7"

 

[d_jedi1]

either way the builder(s?) must have REALLY been hitting the bloodwine that day...
