We're finally getting to see a lot more of the models, which I was starting to think they weren't going to be selling.
Earth Station McKinley. I thought there was more to the top of it than that, but maybe we never even saw it. I might just be thinking of fan models. It's not in a great state, but it's nice to get a closer look.
Utopia Planitia's ground base. We saw some close ups of these on one of the TNG DVDs.
Another Spacedock LCARS screen. Doesn't tell us anything new, apart from the fact that Starfleet didn't update all their interfaces in the TNG era.

Did you see that one design that looked like an oberth, but sleeker. I'm calling it the Oberth MK.II. Somebody make a model of it right NOW! That and the other ship with the delta shaped hull.

I've seen that Oberth-like ship before as one of the early Voyager concepts. But that Klingon shuttle really interests me! I've never seen any shuttle designs for them before. Any idea who drew this (perhaps Sternbach)?
.... I just noticed the Starfleet/Klingon logos underneath each of the shuttles, so that far design is definitely supposed to be Klingon.

Yep, that Klingon shuttle looks like something you'd see in the TNG era, and yet it would have appeared in a TMP movie.

Actually, all these drawings have the very distinct look of Jim Martin about them

There's a concurrent ebay auction going on on Friday with stuff from those Profiles in History people.
On the snazzy starship models front, there's a workbee model and the Angosian ship. The blurb claims that the workbee is "a particularly fine example", but it actually looks like quite a basic background model, rather than the really detailed one that there are pictures of on various sites. Interesting to see the Angosian ship up close, though.

So the Angosian ship and the Straleb ship are the exact same model, only the Angosian ship is gray and the Straleb ship is yellow.
