Any ship on the scale of 1: 1

Certainly it is a joke, and so I with pleasure would get such options, as combined models from plastic.
Also Lego models interest
And if to take concrete things that:

1 . Rifter
2 . Kronos
3 . Machariel
4 . All T3 ships

Thus I want to tell about the 4th point separately: there was a wish that also models had opportunity to create the ship under a task. as in game. And thus. that not everything could be joined modules among themselves. That is it the high-tech toy but available to the majority of people has to turn out.

I see it so:

There is any basis with certain installation sites of modules.
There is a set of modules going in structure. We will allow 8 pieces. The number of modules - is discussed

Also there are options of drawing up these modules and a basis, but is admissible there is a rule by which it is impossible to make 1 and the 4th module as it can't be done and in game. That is. As a result we receive so (approximately)
1 . The ship the scout - a basis + the module 1 + the module 6 + the module 8 + the module 3
2 . The shock ship - a basis + the module 8 + the module 3 + the module 4
3 . The logistician - a basis + such that modules
and so on.

Something it seems

Apocalypse Navy Issue, Apocalypse, Paladin, EoM Apocalypse

Preference in that order. Needs to have a metallic sheen where appropriate - not matte paint.

While I understand that a kit-set model would be cheaper and more popular, I don't have any inclination to go out and buy paints, brushes, glue and modelling knives for a once-off project (and I suck at painting), so I would personally prefer a more "premium" pre-built, pre-painted model, probably around 30cm / 12inches in length.

As I haven't done any modelling for probably a good 3 decades, I have no idea what materials are used these days.
Earlier posts mention resin, resin & PE, poly, and this post describes a lot of things I didn't know, but I don't actually know what they feel like. I'd prefer it to feel reasonably solid, but not heavy enough to get slapped with huge air freight bills (the postage for EVE: Source Limited Edition from PopCultcha cost me about US$22, and that's just across the Tasman Sea).

If it's not practical to provide LEDs or the "Glow reactive plastic" that someone mentioned, for all the windows, perhaps a safe luminescent paint that glows softly for an hour or so after the lights go out would be sufficient?

For the main navigation lights, LEDs/fibre optics might be best, perhaps with a flashing and non-flashing option. Battery-powered would probably be best, but USB-powered would be ok (I wouldn't personally turn it on for more than an hour or two).

For comparison, this model looks a bit cheap. I'd want more than that.

This model of the Firefly seems about right in size and detail, but the price is a bit OUCH! (NZ$500, US$435)
No need for removable parts though, as we've never seen the inside of EVE ships.

If it's going to cost more than US$100, I'll think twice about it. It'll have to look astonishing for me to go further.

On a side note (and I'm completely unaware of the processes involved), are you able to get potential suppliers to provide mockups that you could demo to us in a video (similar to the EVE Source promo video you just posted), and get opinions on the quality and what people would be willing to pay for it?
