The Enterprise D build is back from the dead!!!! Fan home is the new home for Enterprise D, Ecto 1, DeLorean and much more!!

[@johnhanavan6833]

That was a beautiful and fitting eulogy! I got to pack 78 before the untimely demise of this kits manufacturer. R.I.P. Eaglemoss. 🙏😩

[@tyler_tesch]

"This was...the most...expensive" ROTFL

[@johnsledge3942]

I’m close to finishing mine now, and god is it a sight to behold. I’m planning to do resin windows, change all the escape pod hatches, and a bunch of other mods

[@MichaelKlinePhotoVideo]

Definitly a fitting eulogy. However, there is a resurrection. Fanhome has picked up the license and you can continue where you left off soon.

[@starkiller9897]

Alas perhaps some enterprising Ferengi might decide to use his acquisition skills & resurrect this ill fated project. For a healthy profit ofcourse!! 😂 To entice customers to come back & back other projects in the future!! Who knows it's fate is with the stars now!! I feel your sorrow dear friend & hear those tears drifting on the wind!! 😂 Stay strong & keep the faith!! 😎👍

[@tuhkathri9126]

It was for the best. It was a shoddily designed model at best with a ton of light leaks and overly complicated electronics. Best to save that money for Tomys Enterprise D. We all know it's coming.

[@darthgalaxy666]

What is "Tommys Enterprise D" ?

[@GenuineMattyC]

I'm curious...now that they've announced Fanhome will be taking over the Build-the-Enterprise-D subscription, will you be finishing the model? And would you warn off someone like me from starting this subscription from the beginning with Fanhome?

[@shovelchop81bikeralex52]

Oops a daisy! Bad luck old chum! Loved the video though! LOL.

[@GrnArrow092]

I was one of those people who were on the fence about subscribing because I wanted to see how the model turned out before I decided to pull the trigger. I'm really glad I didn't in the end because none of us saw the collapse of Eaglemoss on the horizon. I read something about a company stepping forward to take over Eaglemoss, but I don't know if that is going to come to fruition. It's sad, though. Eaglemoss did have something good going with the miniature starships collection.

[@Levi_Skardsen]

Fanhome have bought the rights to continue production.

[@DocSmizzle]

Excellent stuff! Made me weep a bit then and then I laughed.

[@philmorton4590]

Surely as the enterprise is mirror image in some aspects, it might be possible to to complete by mirror imaging some of the pieces? A good 3D printer is cheaper than the model.

[@ThatVideoGuyTom]

Cool video

[@garyn1280]

This is an exceptionally well produced video! Bravo Danoby! Hopefully Tomy will be able to step in as we move forward and fill the void left by Eaglemoss’s exit.

[@Danoby2]

Much appreciated! 😁😁😁

[@hermanrogers3565]

That was certainly an awesome montage..Your right, the most expensive "incomplete kit" maybe/maybe not....of all time..hopefully when all the dust settles someone will pickup the Enterprise D build again.

[@uksith]

Sorry for the pain...but don't put that BIG box in the loft just yet Mr Danoby2.... apparently the former licensing head Ben Robinson hopes that particular model is picked up by another company. Use this spare time to hone your electrical skills!!

[@JustinMcFly1980]

Fun times. 5 stars.

[@Evangelium]

Leave it to Danoby to make a requiem hilarious! Putting the "Fun" in funeral. lol

[@Allegheny500]

Several years from now I see a Wonderfest exhibit of a Galaxy class under construction in a huge space dock.

[@darrinn7]

Or crash landed on Veridian III.

[@Danoby2]

More like a crash landing indeed

[@JGG1701]

One of a kind eulogy for someone (among many others) that has been royally screwed. Curious to know, did anyone actually get to finish this build? Or did Eaglemoss even make the parts for a finish build?

[@darrinn7]

Nobody finished the kit, the last issue sent out worldwide was 82 out of 120. The rest of the parts to finish the kit are reportedly still in China with the manufacturer.

[@762rk95tp]

Actual manufacturer of kits is Premium & Collectibles Trading LTD. KZbin channel Eaglemodz might be worth checking out for more details. They have apparently secured rights to sell parts of at least their Back to the Future DeLorean and ECTO-1 kit parts, at least to existing subscribers. Somehow I doubt that CBS is as reasonable as certain other licensors.

[@sseltrek1a2b]

yup...feel really bad for people who are stuck with what's left of their unfinished builds...

[@gardian1701]

This is why I'm 3d printing a 4ft model for the fraction of the cost! 👌

[@bugman5380]

That does SUX Danoby2. Even though the tolerances weren't tight, and the lighting was a mess, it looked beautiful still and probably would have been extremely fulfilling to complete. RIP

[@darrinn7]

It does look great when you take the extra time to get the panels in tight and light block the seams with aluminum tape.

[@alexandreolivier1923]

Thanks you for your video And farewell, over complicated Enterprise D build kit !

[@tomlake2732]

Round 2 Models has made clear their intention of buying Eaglemoss assets and continuing to ship kits to subscribers. Let's hope it works out!

[@Collection_Obsession]

Rumor has it that the Ferengi are considering backing Tomy, they're just waiting to see the final delivered Tomy 1701 Enterprise from TOS. As for what you have left from the Eagle moss 1701-D, maybe you can make lemonade out of lemons and build a nice battle damaged 1701-D diorama.

[@Danoby2]

Its packed away for eternity, for now anyway.

[@762rk95tp]

A youtube channel called Eaglemodz has contacted the actual manufacturer of model kit regarding other build part by part model kits that were distributed by Eaglemoss. Actual manufacturer of kits is Premium & Collectibles Trading Co. Apparently they have cleared the right to sell Back to the Future DeLorean kit and Ecto-1 at least to pre-existing subscribers. Dunno is CBS licensing as reasonable as right holders of Back to the Future and Ghostbusters, but might be worth checking out.

[@YdnarLah37]

Maybe someday you can use it as the centerpiece of the Utopia Planitia Shipyard diorama you've always wanted.

[@Danoby2]

There isn't enough to even make a decent space dock scene

[@johnsledge3942]

It’s coming back soon now!! I heard that on the 24th of this month that it’ll be going on pre order for people to continue the kit.

[@Danoby2]

I've moved on, no plans to ever continue the build. The excitement has left me.

[@johnsledge3942]

@@Danoby2 That’s very fair, I’m just glad all the money I already spent isn’t going to waste

[@reviewswithdouglas]

I had both the Enterprise D build & the Ecto-1 build and I had issues with their logistics ability to send out the correct part kits. I told them to cancel my subscriptions to both model kits and that I would not be returning to them for future models. It was a huge waste of money and their customer service team was very unprofessional

[@Sarasdad91]

Thanks to Geordi LaForge, the Enterprise D has been restored

[@vezhopkins714]

this is why I dont get weekly/monthly build models just incase they are canceled I bet it would have looked really ace to (enterprise - D is my fave enterprise)

[@smallvillefan72]

Not gonna miss Eaglemoss. They had great sculpts but their paint work was abysmal. Misaligned windows etc. I imagine that’s what led to their demise.

[@darrinn7]

What led to their demise was a over engineered lighting system to stretch out the build, not communicating with the their customer base, constant shipping delays, and inventory that was always out of stock.

[@joehenry9546]

I really wanted to get this kit. Almost pulled the trigger, but when it was all said and done it was going to be around $1,700 total.

[@Danoby2]

Expensive to say the most. :(

[@robmillist]

Haha 😂 well it's back if you want to return to genisis!!

[@Danoby2]

Nope, took the escape pod out.

[@Jason_Moorhees]

You can finish now if you want 😊

[@BadApe351]

C'mon man! Geordie La Forge took 20 years to bring the "D" back to life in Picard season 3. Surely it won't take you that long to scrounge all the missing parts for your magnificent build. We all have faith in you sir!

[@Danoby2]

Haven't seen Picard season 3. Probably won't either. I'm done with these kit subscription kits. LoL

[@JediLuke1999]

​@Danoby2 I feel like star trek hurt you on a personal level. Terry matalas did an excellent job reinventing star trek without the taint of Alex kurtzman. S3 of picard is the only good modern trek out there sadly. I understand your feelings about it.

[@jasonparis5635]

​@@JediLuke1999what about strange New worlds that's a nice trek series

[@jasonparis5635]

​@@Danoby2are you going to sell your enterprise -D parts on eBay?

[@ridik4267]

Wait Fanhome has it. But I’m trying to figure out the costs ? Anyone have an idea?

[@jonmyers8046]

Why not build a replica of Utopia Planitia around it and display it as being under construction?....just a thought 🤔

[@SandraOrtmann1976]

That is sad. Normally, I stay away from any of those subscription kits, as I fear exactly this to happen. However, I subscribed to the Fanhome Iron Man Mark III build. It is not nearly as complicated. I think the order in which parts are put together is a bit...baffling. But I simply kept two big boxes and do not think much about it. Now I am three quarters through and really hope to finish without the publisher going bankrupt. I already knew that this model was hyper complicated, plus it was the "wrong" Enterprise for me (I favor the original one, or the "A", for that matter). If it had been one of these...oh boy. Now all you can hope for is that some company will take over the project.

[@darrinn7]

The Enterprise A or Reliant would be AWESOME as a part work or a 1:350 from Tony. It would be difficult to capture the pearlescent Aztec paint scheme. When I ordered the Tomy TOS enterprise their representative told me stay tuned as they have other ships in mind for next next year when I asked about the A and Reliant. Round 2 said they can’t make a 1:350 Reliant because they can’t get a hold of the production model to capture all the details (not as much of an issue with their smaller kit) -I hope Tomy can get around this.

[@roadrunnerj]

EAGLEMOSS should of listened to their customers they might not be in the mess they put themselves in and they can quote me on this

[@R_T_Ralph]

you do realise, it restarts on the 17th July?

[@Danoby2]

That ship has sailed, I have no plan to revisit this build.

[@jasonparis5635]

Picard is thinking what the hell happened to my ship?

[@Danoby2]

for real😆

[@jasonparis5635]

@@Danoby2 just a follow up is there any word yet about the enterprise -D build kit yet

[@amusedjester]

I heard that maybe the manufacturer itself might take up the rest of the orders. Isn't Eaglemoss more of a distributor than the actual manufacturer of this products? Isn't this manufactured by the same company that does the Hachette collections Mazinger Z?

[@Danoby2]

At this point, who knows...

[@amusedjester]

​@@Danoby2 Good thing, you backed 3 of the Tomy enterprise. You'll re-coup it from there.

[@nicholasgarratt5646]

The Chinese manufacturer is owned by PCT ( PREMIUM COLLECTIBLES & TRADING CO). They have obtained the web domains and the IP. They also own IXO models for distribution. Licencing still needs to be sorted as well as how to handle the US market..

[@amusedjester]

@@Danoby2 For anyone interested or not seen this..an interview with an eaglemoss ex-employee about the build projects and its future. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJzWhqern5V_q6c I hope for the best for you guys.

[@kennysmith6300]

I only like this star ship enterprise NCC 1701 only.

[@darkhawkzero]

WTF I just found this out now and I’ve been wondering about my subscription. I’ve been busy with work for the past couple of months and I can’t believe it. I wasted all this money for nothing. I haven’t even got to even 50 I might as well take what I have box it all up and bury it, this is a shame just to make it clear for myself. I am going to call EagleMoss Collectibles

[@roadrunnerj]

If only I found this funny well a little might have to do adiorama of my enterprise d or get Ian Campbell from partwork upgrades to start 3d printing. All is not lost I hope ixo collections are looking to take some of the licensing. I'm not happy neither a model I cant finish that's part of my childhood memory's and being an hardcore trekkie too please please someone beam up from this nightmare

[@finn_wiegmann]

Would u say it’s worth the price?

[@Danoby2]

NOPE!

[@roadrunnerj]

Where is scotty the miracle worker

[@Danoby2]

A miracle needed indeed. :(

[@bryananderson999]

I'd get a 3d printer and fill in the blanks. Given you're already about $1000$1200 into the build it would be a shame to just throw it away. Print the remainder in 4 sections and complete it. Many other modelers might just pay you for similar parts

[@blackieskinner3073]

that's awful for those that have half completed models, fortunately there's lots of different model manufactures out there, i guess you could build your own ship out of fiber glass if you have the right skill set

[@normanbeaulieu4204]

I’m so glad I didn’t invest in this. It would have killed me

[@pepperVenge]

I had a feeling this _D_ thing they were doing was a bad idea. Glad I didn't subscribe to it. I didn't expect Eaglemoss to go under, I just hated the way the model looked. It's not at all accurate, and not worth the money they were asking.

[@damienwilliams820]

CHECK OUT CRAGGS MODELS!!
