Jem’Hadar Attack Ship Star Trek Federation Ships & Alien Ships Collection Miniature Display Model by Furuta


Hay que ver la creatividad que los guionistas de Star Trek tienen para construir universos y civilizaciones completas aparentemente de la nada. 

Por ejemplo, los Jem’Hadar son, ni más ni menos, una raza de soldados "fabricados" a través de ingeniería genética, sin otro propósito que defender a sus creadores: los Challengings, otra raza de seres que pueden tomar la forma física que deseen y que encontraban en los Sólidos (es decir, todas las otras razas existentes) una amenaza que debía ser destruida. 

Si me lo preguntan, esa actitud de los Challengings se parece mucho a la paranoia que un ser humano común y corriente puede sentir por sus congéneres. 

Y en cuanto al servilismo incondicional que los soldados Jem’Hadar profesan por sus creadores, a quienes consideran dioses... ¿No se parece a la lealtad o devoción ciega que ciertas personas tienen por sus superiores en cualquier ámbito, haciendo toda cosa que pidan, sin preguntarse si lo que hacen está bien o mal?.. 

Lo que quiero decir es que la ciencia ficción es para mí otra forma de abordar la Sociología, porque los creadores en este género básicamente proyectan los vicios y virtudes de la humanidad, en seres y situaciones imaginadas, presentando su punto de vista para cuestionar al espectador. 

Se acerca el final de las publicaciones con base en estas réplicas de naves espaciales creadas para la serie Star Trek y aunque en principio me mostré algo escéptico en publicarlas, al hacerlo he revivido el placer por la ciencia ficción en general. 

Lo poco que sé acerca de la marca Furuta, se lo debo a estas piezas y el diseño, esquema de color, detalle y terminados de la que publico hoy, están a la altura del resto, así que se trata de un artículo de colección muy interesante según mi parecer. 

Confiando en la Providencia y enorme Bondad del DIOS de la Biblia, continuaré mi viaje por el mundo coleccionismo la semana que viene y no me molestaría si deciden acompañarme... =)

ENGLISH
We have to admit the creativity that the writers of Star Trek have to build entire universes and civilizations, seemingly out of nowhere. 

For example, the Jem’Hadar are no more nor less, a race of soldiers "made" through genetic engineering, with no other purpose than to defend their creators: the Challengings, another race of beings whom can take the physical form they wish and which found in the Solids (i.e. the rest of all existing races) a threat that must be destroyed. 

If you ask me, that attitude of the Challengings is a lot like the paranoia that an ordinary human being can feel for their congeners. 

And as for the unconditional servility that the Jem’Hadar soldiers profess for their creators, whom they consider gods... Is not like the blind loyalty or devotion some people have for their superiors in any field or level, doing everything they ask, without wondering if what they do is wrong or right?... 

What I mean is that science fiction is for me another way to approach Sociology, because the creators in this genre basically project the vices and virtues of humanity in beings and situations imagined, presenting their point of view to challenge the viewer. 

The end of the publications based on the replicas of spacecrafts created for the Star Trek series is near and although I was somewhat skeptical about publishing them, in doing so I have revived the pleasure for science fiction in general. 

The little I know about Furuta brand, I owe it to these pieces and the design, color scheme, detail and finishing of the one I’m publishing today fall short on the rest, so in my opinion is a very interesting collector item. 

Trusting in the Providence and great Goodness of the GOD of the Bible, I will continue my trip by the world of collecting and I wouldn’t mind if all of you decide to come with me... =)

Nice stealth colour scheme and the design that look more like a fighter unit than a ship. Another replica of spacecraft from your Star Trek collection.

yep, indeed is an attack vessel, "not so big", about 90 m long and not so powerful when it comes to weapons, but it was used as a kamikaze which makes it a fearsome fighter... many Federation starships were destroyed by the suicidal attack of these guys... =)

wow another spacecraft! I am not sure if this is available here in our country esp. Furuta brand or maybe they are but 'coz I am not a fan of star trek, I didn't notice them. I wish I appreciated star trek or star wars like you when I was a kid so I could start collecting spaceships from the movie. They're really great collectibles..

HEHE... there are a lot of videos available for this TV series (there are also movies) if you wanna sneak a peek... Furuta is a japanese brand, so maybe it’s available on your country, but i don’t think these particular starship minireplicas are available since they are scarce even in this side of the world... i’m glad that you like them and as always, your comments and opinions are welcome... =)
