I can't speak for Brigade's line of starships that have been moved
into resin, but I can speak for a couple of their 15mm vehicle
models (specifically the Kochte MBT and Thor MBT). I have both the
older full-metal versions and at least one of each of the newer resin
hull versions. With the exception of a couple small air pockets in one
of the resin hulls, the detail is virtually identical to that of the
metal hulls. 

However, I do have to say that I am kinda partial to plunking down
a heavy metal hull on the table before my opponents. ;-)
