These, frankly, are pretty poor (sorry, Nic!) - very basic lumpy shapes
with little detail. If you are seriously interested then get just a
sample
or two first.

These are much better, though still a bit plain in the detail
department;
they are, however, cheap and very useable. The Imperial range are Trek
Fed-style ships, ie: saucers and warp pods, and make a good addition to
the
SFB, FASA and Micromachine Trek stuff if you are into that sort of thing
(with the possible exception of the carrier, which looks like a WW2
flattop
with trek-style warp nacelles stuck on - very odd!). Others in the range
are a little bit Klingonesque, though not as much as the Imperials look
like Fed ships if you see what I mean! Can't remember exactly which
race/fleet is which, sorry.
Nic at Eureka will probably offer more info on these, 'cos he's on the
list
and he makes them for Oz.
Some of the civilian freighters are nice, and the little "hyperspace
submarines" look great!
They also have a handful of Space:1889 style space-ironclads out......
