Instead of posting countless useless additions to this post, why not go and investigate where to get these models? That way this thread would actually go somewhere.
Online google translation of the page is very sketchy, so maybe there are some Chinese people here who can tell us what the page actually says?
"After more than a week of waiting, reporters finally get a clear EVE spy ship as the model. 从图中显示,模型均制作精良,细节十足。 From the map, well-produced model, the full details. 每套船模除了船体本身,还配备了一个对应种族的支架,以起到更好的展示舰船的作用。 Each ship model in addition to the hull itself, with a corresponding race of the stent, to play a better role in the display of ships. 这2个模型均为EVE制作公司CCP从欧洲直接空运来到中国的精品船模。 This model of two production companies are EVE CCP directly from Europe to China's air quality ship model. 此番,CCP将忍痛割爱,在7月17日当天的2场EVE活动中通过抽签的方式将船模留在中国玩家的手中。 This time, CCP will be pain Geai, July 17 in the two-day EVE activities by drawing lots of ways of the model remain in the hands of the Chinese audience."
So from the translation I gather that the models aren't made in Asia but were shipped there? By two European model builders? Seems odd, I can't think of a well know sci fi modeling company except perhaps Revell Germany.

And if you'd actually read the thread, I already did this, they were prizes in an event and in anther post a dev has suggested they will come to the store..... reading ftw

I want a ferox, its a useless paperweight in game, it might as well be one in RL.
Now if you want a thorax, just go to your local adult store and Im sure you'll find plenty of cheap versions just sitting around. add batteries and it simulates weapons fire or...something .....
Domi, local parts have plenty of it sitting around in the grass.
Seriously though, these would be cool and I would want to buy one,preferably something caldari

I think I know something about this, but I'm not sure how much I'm allowed to blab here.
I pointed a model maker friend of mine in Eve's direction some time ago. I'm a keen Eve player, and thought there might be a market among players for a good quality desktop model.
Looking at the stands on those models (well, the Gallente stand on the Megathron, 'cos that's the only one that's loaded yet!), those are definitely his models because he showed me an early alpha version of one and that stand matches precisely what he showed me.
I'll email him, point him at this thread, and ask him what I can say here. It's not my place to make a press release!

Lady's and Gent's, if we want to have CCP making the models, we should get a pole going to see how many people would want to buy one. That would give an estimate for CCP to see if it's worth bringing out the most desired models. They don't have to make big money out of it, but they will not start making models if the risk is to great with 'the market' being to small.
Yes we should, and with internet forum "poles" being so accurate, I'm sure CCP would make a business decision based purely on that.

I doubt these will be available. Quality like on the picture of the models and the paintjobs seems very high.
Looks like these are prototypes either done by wax printing, sterolithography or CAM milling - and then hand painted.
I would guess their price tag to be around Ç1000 - Ç2000. Way to expensive for the store.
If these were to be cast for bigger production, they would need to be built from multiple cast pieces due to the complex shapes. A machined paintjob of this quality would be difficult - they may have to be hand painted.
So I guess what may make sense would be to offer these as build kits, then they could be sold for Ç20-50 - but you would have to paint them yourself.

Or rather this:
(1)Get a 3d schematic of a ship (2)Send the file to a company with a 3D printer (3)Pay Ç100-Ç500 (4)Paint it yourself or let a model painter do it for you (5)Ask yourself if you just violated CCP's copyrights while drooling over the model

They don't have to make big money out of it, but they will not start making models if the risk is to great with 'the market' being to small.
Lets put it this way, IF there was 1 thing i wish they had in the eve store that should be there, models of the ships is it. The stuff that they do have in the store is for the most part cheap stuff to make. Tshirts, keyrings,cds even mugs are cheap.
Something like these models would have to be limited run or require someone to preorder it. Even lower quality models would still sell just because who doesn't want a paperweight in the shape fo their favorite ships?
I know Battletech did this, what they did was make a "muesum scale" version of their mech designs. They were hard to find but in demand. I'm sure they would look for similar items and consider getting a limited run going. small risk but gives you an idea based on how fast they sell out which would reduce ccp's risk in the long run.
The thread alone shows people are interested in buying so a poll wouldn't hurt. it would show the player bases' initiative as well as desire for these models which will in turn generate sales.
its kinda lame that they haven't had anything like this before...

You'd only be violating copyrights if you sold it, accepted remuneration for looking at it, etc. If you keep it exclusively for personal use alone, you're in the clear.
Though, the ground is a bit more dodgy for the company who accepts your money to copy it... |

I doubt these will be available. Quality like on the picture of the models and the paintjobs seems very high.
Looks like these are prototypes either done by wax printing, stereolithography or CNC milling - and then hand painted.
Edit: I am guessing here, but looks like the raven is a stereolithography model - it looks a bit unprecise on straight lines - this happens because the resin changes shape slightly when hardening. The absolutely precise mega seems like a milled model (maybe wax-but less likely).
I would guess their price tag to be around Ç1000 - Ç2000. Way too expensive for the store.
If these were to be cast for bigger production, they would need to be built from multiple cast pieces due to the complex shapes. A machined paintjob of this quality would be difficult - they may have to be hand painted.
So I guess what may make sense would be to offer these as build kits, then they could be sold for Ç20-50 - but you would have to assemble and paint them yourself.
Frankly, I lack the skills to judge the procedure used to create those models from the pictures. From the pictures alone neither the shapes nor the paint jobs seem to be beyond what I've seen on some ready-made die-cast models. For those (or do-it yourself kits) Ç20-50 would be a good estimate. And to be honest, in my own interest (WANT!!!), I hope you're wrong. :)
As to the guy that suggested that Forgeworld should produce them (the people behind the GW titans): Hell no! Their models may look stunning, but they are extremely overpriced and the quality of their casting is pretty shitty. Lots of bubbles and excess flash, which is a ***** to remove/clean up on resin.
