The Official Starships Collection&#8221; came through the post together.&nbsp; (Issue 2 &#8211; USS Enterprise NCC-1701 can be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.stu-wilson.blogspot.co.uk\/2013\/09\/star-trek-official-starships-collection.html\">read here<\/a>).&nbsp; Issue 3 is the Klingon B&#8217;rel-class warship &#8211; better known as a Bird of Prey as seen in Star Trek III The Search For Spock, and featured in many other Star Trek movies and series.&nbsp; Although not one of my favourite Star Trek ships, I&#8217;m pleased to say that after the slightly disappointing issue 2 Enteprise model, the quality has once again returned to the standard seen in issue one&#8217;s Enterprise D.&nbsp; The ship is extremely detailed, with an effective weathering texture to make the&nbsp;vessel look dirty and used.<\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/blogger.googleusercontent.com\/img\/b\/R29vZ2xl\/AVvXsEgPBfNYpOM3AKQ1xSgpCMzJQy0hHwo_3Ioo5km2JNZCFmKk2zr-IujUc8fEfmGvmSu1trBQuPP_Ln7ywoh-x5mlu4LTu9d4NcA9FzhvEteFQ74OP4cWQ-A7mWqvIan78yLtseZ3\/s1600\/DSCF5891.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: 1em;
