Overview

Master Replicas has launched a new collection titled Star Trek: The Starship Library, which features smaller-scale model ships designed for fans of the franchise. This collection includes 5-inch die-cast models that are similar in size to those from the previous Official Star Trek Starship Collection managed by Eaglemoss.

The first three models released are the USS Enterprise from Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the USS Cerritos from Star Trek: Lower Decks, and the Kelvin Enterprise from the 2009 Star Trek film. Each model comes with a uniquely designed display base and a detailed book about the respective ship.

Key details

  • The new models are 5-inch die-cast representations of iconic Star Trek ships.
  • Each model includes a newly-designed display base and a 48-page reference book.
  • The first three ships released are the USS Enterprise, USS Cerritos, and Kelvin Enterprise.
  • These models are the first smaller versions of ships previously released in larger scales by Eaglemoss.
  • The display stands are square and require assembly, measuring approximately 6” x 5”.
  • The new stands have been criticized for taking up too much space and feeling low-budget.

  • The accompanying reference books feature updated content, concept art, and behind-the-scenes photos.
  • The Cerritos model is noted as a valuable addition for collectors who missed the larger version.
  • Each model is priced at $34.99 and is available for order on the Master Replicas website.
  • Preorders are open for additional ships, including the La Sirena and several from Star Trek: Discovery.
  • Shipping for the initial models has already begun.
