The Schematics in STTM are...well...."off" is the most polite way to describe some of them.

From my understanding (although I've never seen an issue of STTM) both the Fact Files and STTM used the same schematics. At least, that's what I heard over on HobbyTalk.

As for back issues...
In the UK orders should be sent to
The Star Trek Fact Files
Woodgate (Fabbri) Ltd, PO Box 1, Hastings TN35 4TJ

each back issue costs �1.99 w/free postage (in the UK)

or credit card orders by phone at (UK country code) 0870 729 9292

Don't bother ordering 'em from New Zealand - we're about a year behind the UK and Australia in issues (even though Aussie is just over the ditch from us )

Cheers!

Jim.

There's some wishful thinking...sadly I think I spent one lonely night websearching for scans from backissues and no such thing seems to exist

Mabye Revrend could scan all the ship stuff for us and burn a CD.
For a nominal fee of course.

There were 304 issues of the Fact Files and I have every last one.
I'm seriously considering putting them up on Ebay since I'm running very low on storage space.

Back issues? Well, that info can directly from the inside cover so I guess so.
How many? NZ's up to 254, but I know from an Aussie on HobbyTalk that (a few months ago) they were up to the 290s. I have no idea how many more there are, but I've been fitting mine 15 issues to a binder and I've got 17 binders so far (and no more shelf space).

Cheers!

Do you get a free Star Trek Binder each 15 issues?

I stopped at about issue 8 - cause I realised the price it would balloon to cause REALLY they could make them for ever.

Plus the info in them was crap - like the pictures with an arrow "Nacelle" or "Bridge".

Posted by Jason Abbadon (Member # 882) on :
 
"Crap" as in mis-labeled diagrams (as in many schematics I've seen reproduced in STTM) or as in inaccurate schematics (as in the Ambassador) or as in the art department just pulling stuff out of their ass (like the Norway's ventral view)?

I'm only intrested in line art schematics so I'll have refrence to build accurate models: the labeling of their parts really makes no diffrence to me.

Are there schematics of ships that were not also reprinted in STTM in the Fact Files?
I'd think so with a over 300 issues and all...

Free binder wasn't with every 15. In fact it wasn't very consistant at all, but normally about every 20th or so. I just happened to end up with a few spares - I forget how.

$10.00?! Gawd, we only pay NZ$5.95 - and our dollars only worth about 57 US cents...

304 issues? Great, only another year to go

Cheers!

Jim.

304 issues at �2 each is �608. That's not too much I suppose. I need to get saving.

I think that STTM was the biggest rip-off... Each issue ran for about $13CDN. I started out buying every issue but then I ran out of disposible income and only bought the interesting issues.

Big change. When I was in NZ last October NZ$1 was like 47 cents US.

That'd be right - damn thing's up and down like a yo-yo. Makes online purchasing a real artform
