Just enjoy them.<br /><br />Great work on the gifs, 8of5 - you just about killed my phone! :p<br />Your Trek collective coverage is the best on the net.Destructor1701https://www.blogger.com/profile/04884229558116545994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-6512832755120709602014-01-28T10:55:41.276+00:002014-01-28T10:55:41.276+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Destructor1701https://www.blogger.com/profile/04884229558116545994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-17941240194876060652014-01-26T22:58:41.090+00:002014-01-26T22:58:41.090+00:00That's not entirely true.

While most of the molds are way better than anything else at this scale, not all of them are.<br /><br />For example, the Furuta Voyager looks much better than the Eaglemoss one. Hell, even the much smaller MicroMachines Voyager has more detail.<br /><br />And the Furuta Defiant has the same detail as the Eaglemoss ship, at a much smaller scale, with correct paint.<br /><br />The problem with the Eaglemoss line is that ship quality is wildly inconsistent.Foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06756314199036780238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-85743516616108345192014-01-24T23:11:29.277+00:002014-01-24T23:11:29.277+00:00It doesn't matter how much we point out errors...It doesn't matter how much we point out errors in preview images, by the time they are being distributed production is well underway. <br /><br />Whatever minor errors have shown up in the Eaglemoss ships, they are still the highest quality models at this scale we've ever had, at a very reasonable price, and building to the biggest range of such models ever offered. I'm not even close to dissatisfied. 8of5https://www.blogger.com/profile/16702128515118267859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-734769081735169113.post-1496787325092214232014-01-24T05:46:01.193+00:002014-01-24T05:46:01.193+00:00The Eaglemoss stuff is just riddled with mistakes/...The Eaglemoss stuff is just riddled with mistakes/errors.
