I agree it is definitely goblin-like, but the model in of itself would be far better without it in my opinion.
The whole craft seems to bring a different sort of feel to goblin tech, it's more sturdy, more "imperial", if you know what I mean.
But the band-aid just does away with most of that. It's like; "Oh wow what an awesome Zeppelin/Model, oh... a band-aid, well it is goblin-esque."
