Normally, I’m not a fan of printed parts, because people have a tendency to
over-rely on them to create detail. You, however, have obviously mastered
their use. These ships are incredible. The ships you’ve built look very
completely thought out and executed. The shapes flow very nicely without
becoming bland. I like the use of varying shapes and panels without an
overdepenence on greebling. The detailing is excellent. After seven years
of staring at your MOCs (too few and far between, BTW), I’m still amazed and
inspired.

Yeah, there’s definitely a time and a place for stickers. That UCS X-Wing
sticker sheet is great for microscale - but I would definitely pick and choose
what parts I’m sticking them on. White parts worked well because the clear part
of the sticker hardly shows up at all. Stickers on red parts would be another
matter... :-)

My only suggestion is to spend a little more time color balancing
and adjusting the levels of your photos after you take them.

Sadly, these respesented a lot of stuffing around in Photoshop, adjusting
levels, brightness/contrast, saturation, and even a sharpen pass. At the end of
the day I left them where the white of the craft stood out the best from the
white backdrop (I tried a dark backdrop the previous day with disastrous
results). The thing is, the camera’s macro mode is arbitrarily better in all
respects... so smaller MOCs will photograph well I think.
