No-one pretend the MM stuff is as good as metal gaming models - they
are,
after all, injection-moulded kids' toys. However, they are relatively
cheap
(at least in the UK and USA), tough (you can sling a whole load in a box
to
take along to a show) and at least painted after a fashion. I've seen
plenty of demo games using the ST and SW ones around the shows,
sometimes
with FT rules and sometimes with homebrew systems, and no-one seems to
worry about iffy paint jobs, varying ship scales etc - they're all much
too
busy HAVING FUN..... :)
