Yes of course I got one too!
I'd buy a three legged hairy troll for £1.99 if it looked good enough so I snapped up Pecard's Enterprise, much to the interest of my three children who were loitering with me in the Co-Op sweetie isle when I spied 'The Enterprise" in the magazine section.
Note: The price I paid for the "sweeties" was more than what the Enterprise cost me! Those kids sure know how to take advantage of a distracted daddy ...
However I now have the "Next Generation Enterprise" (See below):

For the record, I am no hard core Trekky but it is a nice looking spaceship for as yet an unspecified Sci-Fi 'Federation' adventure (the old middle-aged RPG'er friends of mine be warned, take note of this for a planned Xmas special coming to an area near you, start making your excuses now).
Head on she is mightily impressive (see below):

The typical Klingon Bird-Of-Prey 'attack view' of her (see below):
Note: Although 'die-cast' there are plastic pieces attached, as my 'Klingon' three year old son soon found out, detaching the starboard-side warp engine in a fierce 'space' battle (he has a strong grip for such a small child). Luckily daddy had some 'super glue' and 'plastic glue' to hand so I didn't cry that much. Hmm, I don't think I remember seeing this particular TV episode.

While the Romulan could always 'de-cloak' and get underneath for their attacks (see below):

Still no matter which angle you attack from there is always the 'business end' of the USS Enterprise to deal with (see below):

"Fire photon torpedoes Number One". I think more Sci-Fi is to come as I saw 'the second in the series' is out in the shops.
Ah those adolescent years, oh I also had a crush on Kate Bush too ;)

I had a witty comment lined up - but I was distracted (very) by your mention of Ms Bush....
Those were Happy Days - Babooshka and Wuthering Heights, with a bit bit of Pink Floyd too ;)
It's a decent model for the price. I grabbed the second issue on Saturday for the princely sum of €9.99 (because always gouge the eurozone) and the quality wasn't quite as good. Might require some fixing. I think I can see myself getting the NCC 1701s and not much else. Maybe Voyager.... maybe.
Shameless :):):)
Hi Geordie,
'I can resist anything except temptation'.....
Number 2 in the collection is also rather nice. I will get number 3 and from then on my needs will be fewer. I am planning on multiples (3 to be exact) of the Klingon D7 battlecruiser though - and of course, U.S.S. Reliant will feature.
Like you, there is a cunning plan...
Kate Bush? Oh the memories!
All the best,
DC
Kate Bush........................
The Kate Bush theme seems to be strong here folks ;)
David Crooks feeble attempt to blame the nature side of the "nature v nurture" debate id desirable .. I would argue it's more what he can fit into a draw without being rumbled!
He wants three Klingon battle cruisers? Kirk will still have you!!!
