Great job, man!

 

I noticed you got the same effect on the nacelle grilles as the studio models have: copper-colored when unlit but lighting up blue.  I've noticed it in pics for years but never found out why or how the FX modelers did it.  Would you mind sharing any how's and why's?

You've done a great job to this. I have the 1/2500 Ent. sets and might just use your C as something to work by for my little guy. Paint looks great!!

No man, it's not that you rub anyone the wrong way, I've posted work over at other forums gotten 800+ hits and no comments. BTW your lighting looks great, the nacelles aren't blaring for once.Wink [;)]

Joey,

I wouldn't worry about not getting lots of responses, dude.  The threads gotten a decent number of hits, so folks are at least lookin' at it. 

 As for me, I can't see it from here, so have to go to the Cyber Cafe to see if I can view them here.  For some reason your picture account doesn't want to fully come up here.  I don't get the COMM Nazi Site Blocked notice, it just doesn't want to fully load the page for some weird reason.

Now that is a nice E-C..

I had a look at the other builds aswell, and I had to laugh because I noticed your PL 1/350 kit, you have it dry fitted, and you did what I think all of us have done, and that is hold it up, and go whhiiizzzz around the room with it!Laugh [(-D]
