All the ships so far released have seen numerous variants, including movie and episode specific releases, as well as battle damaged, mirror universe, and cloaking effects. While some of these variants have been achieved by new print applications or different coloured plastics, many have made use of additional tooling to allow for significant physical variations, such as details of refits, or additional landing gear parts.
As demand for the ships has remained high, DST have regularly reissued ships, often taking the opportunity to improve paint applications, and implement more advanced electronic systems, allowing a larger range of sound effects (including voice clips which earlier releases did not feature), the ability to switch lights to stay on for a prolonged period, and long ambient noise sound clips.
The list is arranged in release order for the first variant of each model, with later variants listed directly after, so that each class of ship is listed together.

Oh I wish they would create a DS9 or Defiant model.
I recall them pretty much ruling out DS9 entirely in one of the previous Ask DST posts (don't know why, if Wizkids can pull it off, and many before them, it cant be a technical issue, and it's as iconic as any Enterprise). I think the Defiant has a good chance though, they've not got many major ships left, and surely want to continue to release something!
A Voyager would be great!
I doubt if the interest would be there for the station, but for Defiant and Voyager there should be!
I think a Reliant or a Star Trek TMP Klingon battlecruiser would sell well and lend easily to variants
If only someone would make a battle damaged USS Constellation...
