When I saw the article in FSM, the model looked very familiar.
Is this the same guy who was basically advertising the instructions for the electronics used in this model a while back?
As for the model itself, I haven't seen it in person, just the pics in FSM and internet ads, so I can't say much about the construction and such. The lighting setup for the "Dicoprise" doesn't work for me. Alternate ideas are one thing, but I prefer some "form follows fiunction" philosophy be applied, which I gues would be better phrased "photons follow function" when it comes to lighting, and this thing doesn't fit any such concept that I can see. But, then again, that's my personal preference.
If someone wants, they can take three of the Trek adversary sets and paint them in different neon color combinations ( I've seen it, neon yellow and orange, green and blue, and another I don't remember, a set for each combo, and a couple Vulcan shuttles in the same, all the paintjobs were uneven and patchy, back when the kits were discontinued and going for about $80 each ), but they shouldn't necessarily expect awestruck admiration to be a regular reaction.
That goes for me, too. I have some projects in mind along the lines of the "Pimp My Valkyrie" from the Macross "Factory Satellite" site someone mentioned on a thread a while ago ( don't know whether to thank them or curse them for all the planned projects that link ended up inspiring ), but if and when I post them here I won't be surprised if someone out there doesn't like seeing a VF in some non-canon paint scheme that isn't a sensible camo pattern and has some kind of crossover gag involved.
Of course, I also wouldn't expect to get an article in FSM with such a thing.
