It is no secret that I’m a big Star Trek fan. I mean, I host a podcast devoted to Star Trek for goodness sake!
It follows that one of my favorite (if not the favorite) movies is Star Trek II: The Wraith of Khan. I can watch this movie over and over again.
One of the pivotal ships in the movie is the U.S.S. Reliant (which seems to have a B Team crew, as discussed in this episode of the Incomparable). Khan manages to takeover the ship rather easily and hijinks ensue.
The people at QMx have put together an amazing model (or as they’re calling it “artisan replica”) of the ship. Here are just a few pictures:
Of course such high levels of detail and high quality build construction translates to a $9,995 price tag. A little too rich for my blood (though honestly, I’d probably buy one if I were single. I don’t think Marisa would agree that this is a good use of the money, and it isn’t really).
Though if you have $10,000 you don’t need and an unusual amount of like for me you now know what to get me for my birthday.
