My brother’s birthday is coming up soon and he is a big Dr. Who and Star Trek fan (both TOS and TNG). I’d like to get him a nice collectible…either an Enterprise or TARDIS (Enterprise from TOS or TNG…for TOS willing to go up to and including the second movie). I do not want a chintzy, plastic toy. I am looking for a high quality item of decent size for display purposes. I have done a Google search but it is hard to tell just what you are really getting and the quality from a picture so I turn to those here for help and advice. For this assume price is not important (it is but I want to see my options unhindered by cost concerns). Thanks in advance! (Also, I am not a good model builder…mainly I am a horrible painter of models so building/painting my own is not really an option) ---

Sorry for the title…I know “Tardis” is really “TARDIS.” ---

I got this die-cast USS _Enterprise_ model a few years ago, and like it a lot. Small but nicely detailed: [https://www.militaryissue.com/USS-Enterprise-NCC-1701-Die-Cast-Model/productinfo/0097657/](https://www.militaryissue.com/USS-Enterprise-NCC-1701-Die-Cast-Model/productinfo/0097657/) ---

Eaglemoss has some nice miniatures. A combination of diecast and plastic. ---
