Inside The Magazine
Every model comes with a special collector’s magazine that provides an in-depth profile of the ship, with detailed annotations, and a breakdown of the technology on board, its crew and weapons. Exclusive behind the scenes articles reveal how the ship was designed, complete with original design sketches. And there is an informative examination of the shooting model (or models) used by the VFX team, and a summary of the ship’s most important on-screen appearances. Special issues will feature interviews with people who worked on the show who will explain exactly how the ships were created and reveal hidden features that were never shown on screen.
