Another thing may be that your models are mainly black. Black is much more difficult than lighter colors, especially if it's shiny black. Your transparent parts look awfully good, for example (although a bit too clear to be real - I now remember (...) (21 years ago, 7-Apr-04, to lugnet.cad.dev.org.ldraw)
