Rewrites: April 2019
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.
The bittersweet news is that looking ahead, it appears that we will actually see very few comparative articles coming from me in the future. I'm sad, as it means that my sole purpose for writing these sorts of articles is coming to an end. But, I'm also happy in that Eaglemoss has far surpassed my wants in a manufacturer who would make models of ships that no one else has produced. And unlike Hallmark, they are not wasting production time by producing the same model in an updated format every several years.
This also means that writing these reviews has become a rather quick affair. Here is my Eaglemoss vs. The World article about the Norway class. We are introduced to this type of starship in the movie "Star Trek: First Contact (1996)"
My collection of this ship consists of only one pre-built and pre-painted model as well as a 1:2500 scale Odyssey Slipways model that I built and painted.
