This looks promising so far. Sometime if you could take some side shots or
a shot from above that would be great. Also cropping the image to remove
empty space is a very quick and easy way to improve the picture.
Please don't think I'm trashing your pictures or ignoring the ship itself (I
like it a lot from what I see so far) I know what its like to use a less
than perfect camera (I've been there).
Needless to say its cool that your wife took some pics of your lego for you.
