I am really excited to bring you this next Eaglemoss vs. The World article. For the first time in a long time, I am actually able to give you a real comparison article.
For this article, we are going to cover The USS Franklin (NX-326). She was a warp 4 capable vessel that predated the NX Warp 5 ships. The Franklin was presumed lost and we finally discover her fate in Star Trek: Beyond. You can read more about this ship at the following Memory Alpha and Memory Beta links.
As I started getting into collecting and wanting to expand my collection, I found a serious lack of comparative data out there showing the various small scale pre-built and pre-painted ships available to the collector. And so I set out to provide this information myself and hopefully help someone make a wiser decision in which model to buy. My collecting preferences is that the model be between 4 to 6 inches which is why I don't include certain manufacturers like HeroClix. The only reason I show MicroMachine from time to time is because I happen to have obtained the full collection of them years ago and want to show them off.
Here is my current collection:
Hanging: Hallmark. Standing (from left to right): Eaglemoss, Snapco and QMX
