Rewrites: March 2016 & June 2018

Welcome to the 23rd installment of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series.  For those of you who are new to my series, I use these articles to provide a comparison of Eaglemoss models to other small scale manufactured models.

This article is going to focus on the Nebula class of starship.  We are introduced to the USS Honshu (NCC-60205) in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Waltz".


My current collection consists of an Eaglemoss, a Furuta and two MicroMachines models.

EMvTW 22 - Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Rewrites: March 2016 & May 2018

Article number twenty-two of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series is going to be one of those super short write-ups.  I apologize, but only one company has ever produced this ship in a pre-built and pre-painted model of this scale.  These sorts of articles make me uncomfortable as I am really writing these for comparison purposes.


I am of course referring to the Krenim Temporal Weapon Ship that we see in Star Trek: Voyager's two part episode called "The Year Of Hell".

EMvTW 21 - USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E (Sovereign class)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Welcome to the 21st article of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series.  I use these articles to provide a comparison of Eaglemoss ships to other small scale manufactured models.  When I first started collecting small scale starships, I always wished for a resource that would show me how different manufacturers ships compared to others of the same classification.  Now that I've amassed a bunch of models, I figured I would share my comparisons and my thoughts on those different models.

This article is going to focus on the USS Enterprise E.  We first meet this ship in the movie, "Star Trek: First Contact".


My current collection consists of an Eaglemoss, a Furuta, and Hallmark and a MicroMachine model.  It has been a while since I had a Hallmark model in these reviews so this will be a nice addition to the series.

EMvTW 19 - USS Stargazer NCC-2893 (Constellation class)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

I'm happy to report that article number nineteen of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series brings back the comparisons.  For those of you new to my series, I use these articles to compare Eaglemoss ships with other similar sized pre-built and pre-painted ships by other manufacturers.  This information was something that I wish I had access to back when I first started collecting small scale pre-manufactured starships, so I figured, I would finally provide this service myself.

This article is going to focus on the USS Stargazer.  We first meet this class of starship in the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode titled, "The Battle".


As you can see, my current collection consists of an Eaglemoss, a Furuta and a MicroMachine model.  I also purchased a Cozmo Heavy Industries model which I built, painted and wrote a review on.

EMvTW 18 - Bajoran Lightship (AKA Solar Sailor)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Article number eighteen of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series is yet again, another super short one. However, because of certain events surrounding this model, I can at least share some really good information with you.

I can promise that the next three articles will actually have some more meat to them and bring back the comparisons.

This time around, we bring you the Bajoran Solar Sail Ship otherwise known as the Lightship.  We are introduced to this type of vessel in the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode called "Explorers".  According to some sources, it is also called a Shabren Class.


My collection consists of an Eaglemoss and a MicroMachine ship.

EMvTW 17 - USS Dauntless NX-01-A (Dauntless Class)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Welcome to the 17th installment of my "Eaglemoss vs. The World" series.  For those of you new to my series, I use these articles to compare Eaglemoss ships with other similar sized (pre-build and pre-painted) models by other manufacturers.  This information was something that I wish I had access to back when I first started collecting small scale starships, so I figured, I would finally provide this service myself.

This article is going to focus on the USS Dauntless (NX-01-A).


Unfortunately, this is going to be a REALLY short article as there is only one manufacturer who has made this ship in a pre-built and pre-painted model.

We are first introduced to this ship in the Star Trek: Voyager episode titled, "Hope and Fear".

EMvTW 15 - USS Equinox NCC-72381 (Nova class)

NOTE:  You can click on most pictures to get a larger view of them.

Welcome to issue number 15 of my Eaglemoss vs. The World series.  In this article, we are going to take a good look at the USS Equinox, a Nova Class starship that was featured on Star Trek: Voyager in an episode titled "Equinox".  Although this will be a relatively shorter article as compared to the USS Reliant article, I am pleased by the fact that I at least get to still do some comparisons.


As you can see from my picture, I currently own an Eaglemoss, a Furuta and a Micro Machine version of this ship.
