I want the USS Orville!
thanks for the heads up on the paint and yes i did notice on my last visit in my local hobby store ( augsburg germany) there were a lot of paints missing
Between the Tiger shells and this new Enterprise model, the drooling just won’t stop.
That looks really nice!
I have paint and plenty of glue Andy. Will be watching for your build sir.
Looking forward to the build video!
Hey Andy, as you can see people have very strong feelings about the show, both for and against. I personally enjoyed the story and characters so far, and was particularly impressed with the set designs and special effects for a TV show. People are quick to forget how rough the first couple seasons of TNG were.
For all the people complaining about the price of the lighting kit for what you get - it isn't for you. For someone who has never built a circuit or soldered anything, how much time would they need to invest in learning how to approach lighting a starship model? I'm not even talking about materials costs, I'm talking about the time needed to learn about current, voltage, resistors, math, and new techniques, and hoping they did it all correctly and not blow out their entire purchase. If they think that's 4 hours of research and work (an underestimate for most), they can decide whether it's worth $20 an hour to them to figure out, or just pay the price up front for something that will work with minimal fuss. It's not hard to imagine someone wanting to spend their hobby time building more models instead of learning about resistors, but wanting a nice lit Enterprise. Also, be glad they offered this separately so you don't HAVE to pay for it, and you can put your own together. I'm certain there would be more anger if there was only one boxed option of $125 for ship and lighting kit. My personal gripe about this release are the Aztec decals not being included with the ship. Oh, in the US Discovery is only available on CBS All Access.
Andy we need more videos of you building!!
Very nice... I'm rediscovering my scifi mojo and boy is it fun without too many restrictions.
Nice looking kit
I got my kit a week ago, should build to be a nice Enterprise.
The ship looks cool but I am a classic Trek fan.
I am as well
Same but I prefer tng
I agree, I don't prefer "woke-trek discovery" either. 😝
Schaut viel besser aus als der TOS crap^^
Original series is the best and would love to to see a video of you building this
Hey Andy I love your videos they are so good
Thank you I appreciate that.
Oh wow, another cool one!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Already had problems getting Tamiya thinner in large bottles here in N.E. Did get some from Amazon which shipped from Chicago
Hi this is the official earliest I’ve ever seen a you tube video:)
Congratulations on your personal achievement and thank you so much for sharing this exceptional event with us.
I can only imagine what you must feel, as I am already so excited and overwhelmed from only reading those words of glory.
This comment is a true inspiration for all of humanity. I am so thankful that I can be a small part of this.
Future generations will look back at this historic moment as they will never experience something this epic themselves.
@@Osmosium2507 DITTO! Laughed so hard i choked myself. Wonder why that person thinks anybody cares if your 1st or 1million! Thanks for the laughs.
Thanks for the supplier update Andy. Could you do a video on the state of the rest of the dealers and suppliers and where they are at? At least the ones you deal with.
Great idea
Glad to see you're safe out there Andy, all the best to you and yours :)
Wow. Having built the Franz Joseph Enterprise in 3d, this looks like the next stepwise progression toward the Movie era Enterprise. Haven't watched Discovery; but, I kinda like the looks of this ship. Mixed bag; but, it makes sense.
Love it. Trying to save, its all hopeless to do so lol.
Build it build it build it !!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry Andy not a Sci fi fan but the kit does look good beam me up Steve 🇬🇧
speaking of paint, what is a good starter set for armor kits?
Some business got affected by covid19 and some is in good or better shape like scale modelling, good to know.
hi there , new to your channel i just got a kit xactly like this one but no red or blue parts ? weird they must hav 700 runs on these star trek models. lookes like a good kit.
Hey Andy do you have oil paints by ammo mig?
Wow, you could fly an X-Wing down those trenches they call panel lines.
If those panel lines are what, 0.5mm, then at 1/1000 scale they would be 50cm, or 19.6 inches.
And I bet you the lighting kit is as much as the kit itself. [cough] $85 retail for the lighting kit? Fuck that! It isn't even animated. It's just static lights. That's insane.
@@willierants5880 It comes with two motors, do a search for Star Trek model previews. Its pricey though for sure, but it's really aimed at people who cant or don't want to do their own lighting.
@@mattjohnson7369 I understand exactly what it's for and I've watches more than one review and video build of this kit. Motors are cheap, LED's are cheap, wiring harnesses are cheap. Nothing here warrants $90USD. Anyone is willing to pay that I won't try to stop them. I'll still think it's a waste of money and only reinforces these ridiculous pricing models with the suppliers. In closing modeling should be accessible. The prices on these kits are not accessible. All in you are looking at $150 for a mediocre kit with weak detailing. I'm being kind when I say weak.
Where can 1 buy both of those wonderful products?
I can't help but think that past US Tamiya paint shortages caused by california labeling rules will exacerbate the current issues. My local hobby shop still hadn't recovered from the labeling fiasco when covid started. It's a shame that Tamiya America decided to base their operations in california. It's been a year since I was able to buy a large 250 ml bottle of X-20 thinner, local shops have only been able to get the tiny 23 ml jars.
Recognizing the strengths and weaknesses of a new series, I really enjoyed the production values and the edgy story telling. Do it.
I wish they would make the same kit for the polar lights USS enterprise 1/1000 space seed with botany Bay model
TOS
Its Polar Lights, they are usually 2 months behind on extra decals.
Why isn't there a TOS version of lighting kit?
No shortage of paint in Japan. Sorry. Thanks for the preview. Will definitely get it. However avoid the show. Not that great IMHO.
You didn't miss much, not watching Discovery. I am fan since my childhood...but that show..nah.
Would of loved this kit and lights but just looked and the cheapest I can get them in the UK is £70 $88 for the kit and £109 $137 for the lights, shame really as looks an good simple kit but the lights make all the difference. Still I can dream.
Don't worry, when nobody buys them they'll go on sale.
😃
netflix andy its on there. and amazon prime for the picard series.
oh cool I have both of those. Thank you
Picard isnt even trek
@@AndysHobbyHeadquarters It's really not worth your time.
I loved Picard. Binged through it.
@@Warchief1521 no its something else. but its in the same universe.
So when the Aztec decals come out the full kit will be apx $150 to $180 USD. Too expensive for me.
Andy, both shows went wildly "Progressive" political, but the ships (and models) are indifferent to that. I'm not crazy about the whole design of the ship in ST:D or certain other visual elements (I find what they did to the Klingons unforgivable) but your mileage may (probably will) vary.
I'll second that
On the balance, Discovery is a good series. Parts of season 1 are hard to watch, especially the first several episodes, so I would understand if someone wanted to skip it. Season 2 was largely successful, with a two episodes that rank in among the franchise's best. Anson Mount was a wonderful addition to the series, and Ethan Peck's younger Spock was often brilliant.
Thanks for showing off the model. I'm not sure if I would be into such a simple asembly, but it looks like it could be a good showpiece.
Season one was the only good thing about that series and that’s stretching it. Now that it’s off Netflix the whole thing is going to die.
LOL
HEY EVERYONE. HIT UP AZTEK DUMMY. COM FOR AZTEK DECALS FOR THIS MODEL. LOU DALMASO MAKES AZTEK DECALS FOR DIFFERENT TYPES OF STAR TREK SHIPS. HEY ANDY GOOD VIDEO. YOU SHOULD DO A VIDEO ON THIS BUILD. THANKS....
I was wondering when an additional set of $50.00 aztec decals was going to be mentioned.
Are you going to do a build video of this? I really want to do Star Trek kits but polar lights are such terrible quality that I’ve never put any Star Trek kits together. This one looks like it might be ok and not just dull plastic that you pretty much shrink wrap in water slides. Really wish a better model company would get the rights to produce Star Trek kits. Bandai or Tamiya would do an awesome job with them.
Way too expensive!
Hope you get to see Discovery soon. I’m a TOS fan and really enjoyed both seasons of Discovery. Cheers.
LOL
...stop !?!?
...52 USD for the kit and 85 USD for 37 LED´s ???
...to be honest, the kit itself is w/o any fine details ans panel lines which are 3 feet deep in "reality"...so the price is´nt really understandable....
...but to bring this to funny point...for 37 LED´s a battery box, a few cables and 2 motors... ;) ...lol...
Its a really good TV Series. I would think you would really enjoy it if your a scifi fan.
If he is a fan of previous series, he will not like it ...
A $52 for a NEW kit with FLASH ! plus $85 for light . Modelling is no longer for the young ....... or poor !
Oh and burn through the series, it gets better as the series goes on.
Discovery is a pretty decent show. Took me a few episodes to get into it but overall enjoyable.
LOL
Great looking Enterprise which is let down by the writing on Discovery. The first season is if I am honest terrible, but the second season (forget about cannon) is better. Personally I am not a fan of most of the post Jar Jar Abram's movie, but Picard was pretty good and that bodes well for season 3 of Disco. I'm not expecting it to show the sort of marked improvement we got with TNG, DS9 & Voyager by season 3 because the general standard of telly writing today is pretty awful because of focus groups stifle creativity. Having slagged Discovery off, I will say it is worth the watch, even though it offers nothing ground breaking to the viewer unlike the original.
True
Hi Andy. I love your reviews and builds. I have a question though. The Enterprise NCC 1701 is supposed to be the same type of ship in the Old Star Trek universe as in the Discovery one with just a few changes. TOS was set just 10 years after events in Discovery.
This is why in Discovery Season 2 they sent Discovery 900 years in the future to preserve the timeline we know. To the models now.
Polar lights have issued several versions of 1/1000 scale NCC 1701 and they including the Refit version are just under 10 inches long. Now this model still in 1/1000 scale is 18 inches long!!?? I am not a rivet counter and this is a truly amazing kit but twice as long?
You re not supposed to notice that 😝
I haven't tuned into "Discovery" yet but did enjoy "Picard" and thoroughly enjoy "Lower Decks" now. I know there are a lot of negative waves out there about the former, but I appreciated the more realistic and lifelike look to it and their flaws, which, after being a trekkie since the early 70's felt refreshing. Also good to see characters in real clothes and not some costume designer's idea of what clothing would look like in the future-- utterly impractical and uncomfortable.
"Lower Decks" is a hoot--- think "Galaxy Quest" type of sarcasm and not afraid to poke fun at many of the tropes. Plus, "buffer time" is real even today.
@Santa Clause Oh well, to each his own. I figured that I'd get flamed due to my comment--- so it goes.
Andy a lot of people hate the new series but as with any new series it has to find its footing. It isn't that bad, the second season is better than the first. The set design is reminiscent of the new Star Trek movies. But you have to take into account that technology for building more realistic sets is better than it was 50 years ago. And that new Enterprise is a real beauty!
If you were Canadian you would be able to watch it on TV, but you didn’t miss much, season two was better.
Great... first toilet paper, now paint.
I hate to say that the show was dreadful, it's not Star Trek anymore. it's all about politics and ticking all the inclusion boxes without any focus on story or real character development. Very poor writing and awful scripts and dialogue. How ever, the visuals are stunning and the production value is top notch. One of the saving graces of the show was Christopher Pike and the Enterprise. I hope there is a spin off so we can forget Discovery or as we call it STD ;)
Got that right.
I have both 1/1000 Enterprises. The Discovery one and the TOS one. Why is the Discovery one so much bigger?
Because in that alternate universe it’s a bigger ship.
Star Trek Discovery series is a very interesting take on the show. They have 2 seasons out already with a 3rd due out soon. You may want to also check out Star Trek Picard
Really Shame they have branding from the absolute worst trek IP in existence. Great looking kit tho
"Woke Trek" 😝
@@joeshmoe9978 Trek was always woke.
@@mattperson7293true, but not as woke as discovery though.
@@joeshmoe9978 Nah, original Trek and TNG were just as woke at the time. I remember people freaking out at having a councelor on the bridge and a female security chief on TNG. The wokeness of original Trek is well known. The problem with Disco and Picard is they're just badly written, they're dumb as hell.
@@joeshmoe9978 It was far more woke in some respects, considering how different the society was back in the 60s or even 90s. The problem with Discovery is that it has horrible writing and nothing going for it so it seems as if it's driven only by agenda. Look at "The Orville". It's been received fairly well even among the old Trekkies. It had some politics heavy episodes and hardly anyone cared because the show is well written, especially the second season.
STAR TREK DISCOVERY Is a must see if you are a fan, both seasons are available to watch on Amazon PRIME AND NETFLIX
LOL
I don't like the big panel lines.
Bringing in Pike and the Enterprise, is the only thing that made season two of Star Trek Dysentery even slightly watchable. Otherwise the entire series is a disaster.
I can't and won't support anything Discovery or Picard. Thanks for the vid.
?
@@bigcharliesmodelgarage296 He's one of those people who have to tell everyone that they dislike a TV series or a movie whenever it comes up in any way.
@@bigcharliesmodelgarage296 I'm a lifelong Star Trek fan. STD and Picard are an insult. Both of those shows are 2020 personified. They will get no money from me.
@@lovecchio420 you sound fun at parties🙄
@@MaciejuCz Id let fate cut off 2 toes to make it better. I love ST, and took it hard. You are one of those people that points out one of those people to be fair.
Discovery would have better left undiscovered.
Nice model. Not $140 nice. The shows really good. Seasons 1&2 are on dvd $21.00 per season at walmart!
season 2 was much better than season 1
ST Discovery is real good. See it on Netflix
LOL
I like Discovery it's not Grandpa's Trek. It's darker and updated. You couldn't put a 1960s TOS on and grow an audience by getting people to watch something that dated. It is far better than Picard for sure all that has is the "f bomb".
No, it's stupid.
