The model feels heavy, despite the fact that plastic elements have been incorporated seamlessly into its construction. The paint job is authentic and impressive for such a model. ![]() The majority of the ship is die-cast, with other parts a hard, molded ABS plastic. The Eaglemoss Enterprise-D showcases the line at its finest. The majority of the ship is constructed from die-cast metal, with little plastic to be found other than on the warp nacelle grills and bussard collectors. When you pick it up, you can immediately feel why. Measuring at 8.5 inches, the Enterprise-D is perhaps the largest in total volume of any ship of the XL line thus far. Notice the aztecing on the saucer section. The Voyager model is the newest addition to the line and debuted two weeks ago but is not included in this review, but expect a review once it arrives in the post. ![]() Here at TrekMovie we received four ships, which are available now for purchase: NX-01, the Enterprise, Enterprise-D, and Enterprise-E from Eaglemoss’ XL Starships collection ( subscriptions available here).

XL Edition ships are die-cast, hand-painted, and come with a companion magazine focusing more on the productions these vessels featured in, rather than the ships themselves.

These ships are the largest ever produced by Eaglemoss, with the quality you’ve come to expect from the brand. After getting up close and personal with these ships, this reviewer is left with but one word: wow.Įaglemoss began releasing their Star Trek Starships: XL Edition collection early in 2017 through a subscription ($59.95 per ship), or for purchase individually through their online store ($74.95 per ship). TrekMovie received the first four ships in Eaglemoss’s new XL Edition line of Star Trek starship models. ![]()
