Really wished they would have made an Akira class.
Me too. The Akira is my favorite ship that is not a hero vessel. And I like it better than many of the heroes.
I built the revell kit for a friend but I found 2 major errors.
1, two of the upper decals are actually handed but were printed the same making 1 unusable.
2, the shuttle was actually to big to fit through the bay door
Fascinating! I knew the shuttle was out of scale, but I hadn’t heard about he decal issue. Thanks for writing in!
I built the 1/630-scale Voyager shortly after Revell released it and it went together very well.
I still have the original 95 Revell kit hanging in my old childhood home. I remember it being a fun kit to build.
Very cool! I used to hang all my kits in my bedroom too…but that was 40+ years ago. I wish I still had them! Thanks for commenting🙂
Excellent documentary video! I've got two of the 1/1000 kits and 3 of the 1/670 scales to be given different names. I also scored one of the special edition sets that are in the 1/1400 scale to match the other 1/1400 ships.
1/1000 scale is definitely friendlier for the display shelf. I also love the sheer number of Trek models in that scale. It really helps you compare the sizes of the different ships.
Thanks for the kind words! I do agree that after decades of AMT box scale releases, having a consistent line of 1000 scale ships to display together is a dream. I picked up the PL kit before this video, but passed on the larger Revell kit because it was just too expensive to buy overseas and ship to Canada. That said, I’m very surprised with the size of the PL kit and think it will look great with my own 1000 scale fleet.
Great idea for a video! Thanks for the history lesson. Anything about the tough little ship Defiant would be awesome as well.
Thank you! Hmmmm….Defiant….an excellent suggestion!
Voyagers title sequence isn’t fully CG. It’s a mix. Most noticeable is just after the title appears there’s a very obvious and prominent close up of the model flying by
Revell also produced the Voyager the Maquis Ship and the Kazon Fighter as 'Mini' kits 1996, around 2 1/2 to 3 inches long each
Your videos are so good, it is obvious you put a lot into researching the topic and make it interesting to watch.
Very kind words, thank you Margaret! I spend so much time on research and finding just the right elements to illustrate the story; it’s a ton of work as I’m a one-man show. But it’s a labour of love too, and comments like yours make it worthwhile!
I still have my special edition Voyager in the box pin & all I'm sure the decals are probably no good by now😆
Awesome! One of 20,000! the decals may still be useful if you spray them with a coat of decal varnish.
@@scaleicons thanks for the tip🖖
This was great! I know the next Star Trek kit Round Two are producing is the Cerritos from Star Trek Lower Decks - I've seen footage of the prototype abs I cannot wait.
Thank you very much, I’m glad you enjoyed it! I saw the prototype in person at Wonderfest this year, it looks fantastic and I plan to pick one up myself!
Built them all,except for Bandi voyager.Still have them all.
I have all of these kits, in my opinion the Revell kit is far superior in both scale and detail. But the best one of all is the Bandai model, it's expensive now and I don't consider it a “model kit“ in the classic sense, more like a piece of IKEA furniture with some assembly required, but it's a beautiful model!
I can’t argue with that. Because of the smaller size and molding limitations, R2 had to skimp on some of the details for their kit. I’ve never built a Bandai kit, but it looks impressive.
At one point you say Racing Champions, AKA RC2, developed into Round2 models, wrong!! Back in 2003 a company called Playing Mantis was the original owner of Polar Lights along with a line of die cased called Johnny Lightning, RC2 wanted the Johnny Lightning line so they bought out Playing Manits. Some time after that Tom Lowe who founded Playing Matis founded Round2 models was able to borrow the molds from RC2 and began rereleasing the old AMT Trek kits along with improved decal sheets and was eventually able to buy all of the model kit molds from RC2 and at least 2 of those Star Trek kit molds were made more accurate.
Well done! I always thought the Voyager was the only thing from the show that got a model
Thanks John! Yeah, it’s weird how Revell only produced the 3 kits, and now they only do the Voyager itself.
You can tell the cgi voyager from the model on the show, the physical model didn’t have lights in the windows under the hanger deck due to the mechanism that moved the engines up and down
Good catch!
BTW your audio could be a lot better, it’s mostly muffled and hard to hear! Decent video though.
I love your videos, there's not enough of them but I'd say they take an age to research.
Thanks very much! Yep, they take a long time, and as I’m a one-man show there’s always so much competition for my time from real life. Thanks for watching and for your support!
Great information, but my brain blips out everytime you say the word decal
Thanks Matthew. As for the pronunciation, it seems to be regional (Canadian). I’ve been saying it this way for over 50 years as has everyone else I know up here, including all my IPMS peeps. Rather than changing, I’m owning. #DECKELS 😉
I got the 97 Revell kit and spent 6 months meticulously making it only to have my ex wife(now) to get mad at me and throw it through a window. Needless to say, it didn’t survive…
Yikes! That’s a shame.
It’s funny even Hallmarks Voyager ornament was halfassed model. The paint and body details were okay, but the lighting was terrible!! I have one of the early AMT Voyager kits still in the box, I never liked any of them, it’s just a boring look.
9:31 you pronounced ‘decals’ like I always have! Must be a Canadian thing. I only hear people these days pronounce it Deeeee-cals.
Yeah it’s very Canadian. I grew up with and am still surrounded by people who say “deckle”. I really only ever hear “Dee-cal” when I watch CZcams videos.
@@scaleicons Very cool to hear, I am from Alberta, and thats what I grew up with.
I am too, originally. But I spent 30 years in the military moving around the country, and heard “deckle” everywhere I went. I’m in Ontario now, and that’s the pronunciation at my local IPMS club too.
DE-CALS... #decals stop pushing deck-els.
It’s how we pronounce it in Canada. 🙂Thanks for watching! #DECKELS
4:13… “Voyager was unique. Not only was it the first Star Trek series on network tv since 1969…”.
Are you kidding me? ST:The Animated Series, TNG, DS9… I guess those skipped network airing and were only available on cable and VHS then!?!?!
Check your facts before uploading… I mean you even took the time to add that as text in your video and still didn’t catch yourself.
If you can’t get that simple fact right, why would I stay to watch and listen to anything else?
Those were *syndicated*, not network tv productions. Voyager was the first Trek produced by a network for air on a network. Thanks for watching.
@@scaleicons Perhaps that is the fact that should have been presented in the video instead.
Syndication… especially first airing… only means that there were not any network exclusivity deals. Any individual station, regardless of network affiliation, could choose to purchase Star Trek for broadcast in their market. All Star Trek prior to Voyager, did in fact, air on network tv!
