Not a single inch of this model is devoid of some kind of detailing, which means there are interesting angles all over – none of your unfinished undersides as with some of the other models. The model also recreates fabulously all of the spindles along the aft section of the warp nacelles. Light shines through the translucent blue plastic, casting shadows and shading over the rough-hewn surface, and the detailing really does make you feel like this ship and its component parts were carved rather than constructed. Largely plastic, the only metal component of the Sarcophagus Ship is the central section just below the neck, which likely serves to provide the ship a good center of gravity as it is sitting on top of its stand (which grips the model from below.) The rest of the ship is injection-molded plastic that replicates many of the small details of the ship and evokes the same organic feel as the digital model.Ī particular highlight of this model is the translucent plastic areas in the central section of the ship, as yet unidentified on the show but which looks like a large piece of carved crystal around which the rest of the ship has been constructed. Regardless of how you feel about the ship’s design as a Klingon vessel – certainly one of Star Trek’s most interesting and ambitious – you cannot deny that this is a very pretty model. The first ‘special edition’ ship from the Star Trek: Discovery Starships Collection, this model triumphantly succeeds and is an impressive, gorgeous achievement for the Hero Collector team. The ship is big, dwarfing its Federation counterparts in “The Battle of the Binary Stars,” and it is intricately detailed with spindly pylons, ornate carving along the bow section, and actual coffins lining its hull. Measuring a full 12 inches in length, the Klingon Sarcophagus Ship - also known as the Ship of the Dead - is by far the largest, and one of the most impressive, models that Hero Collector has released to date - in any of its various Star Trek model lines, including the XL Starships series.įrom the moment that it first arrived to challenge the USS Shenzhou in “The Vulcan Hello,” the Sarcophagus Ship was going to be a challenge for the Hero Collector team.
