Unboxing The Xindi Insectoid Warship

I missed sharing this one somehow. Here is the Xindi Insectoid Warship from Eaglemoss’s The Official Star Trek Starship Collection. This really is an awesome and outstanding alien starship design from the Star Trek universe.

IMG_20150715_102504The Xindi (pronounced ZIN-dee) were an alliance of species who evolved on the same planet in the Delphic Expanse, known as Xindus, whose infamous attack on Earth and attempts to terminate Humans in the early 2150s changed the course of history and initiated the series of events that helped establish United Earth as a major interstellar power. In at least one future timeline, from where Daniels originated, the Xindi state had, by the 26th century, become a member of the United Federation of Planets. IMG_20150715_102527

Xindi-Insectoids were members of the multi-species Xindi race. The Insectoids, like all Xindi species, had distinctive ridges on their cheeks. They were, as their name suggests, insect-like in appearance. Their average life expectancy was estimated to be twelve years.

IMG_20150715_102612The Xindi-Insectoid ship was a type of warship used by the aggressive Xindi-Insectoids in the 2150s. It consisted of a small central core containing the drive system and three extended wing-like sections extending forward, mounted at 120 degree angles along the fore-aft axis. The ships were heavily armed with pulse-firing particle cannons and torpedoes. They were also highly decentralized in layout, possessing no central control room, reflecting the non-hierarchical nature of Insectoid culture. There was at least one room that had a viewscreen for communications. IMG_20150715_102634

So added to my collection is this awesome ship. Please watch the unboxing video of this awesome looking model.

Million Dollar Question

Why do you blog?

This is a million dollar question? Oh well, give me $1,000,000 and I will tell ya!

Well, ok since you asked nicely I will forgo the million bucks and let you know that I blog for myself mostly. It is a release both creatively and emotionally. I do not blog for anyone else but for those few of you who do come by often or once in a while, thank you. Thank you for reading and if you like it please do let me know.

I blog because I like blogging and sharing news, sports results, my views and likes and dislikes. I like sharing my opinions and sharing photos and videos and basically it’s a window to my life as I grow older. This blog in particular has been an almost daily entry since 2007. It lets you know what you were upto a few years ago, how your ideas and feelings have changed and even is a diary of things happening to you or just what you did. I think everyone should keep a diary and a blog is just a much better version of a diary.

So that’s why I blog and will continue to blog for as long as I can. All hail in the interwebs and blogging.
