Excellent work, Paul! Great form and styling on both ships. I’m glad you made
these ships in microfig scale. Obviously, it gave you much more freedom of
design and it looks like you did have a lot of fun. I think you pulled it off
very well at this scale. I’m impressed and inspired.

Thanks Dan :-)

It’s funny how you say “never again.” After I built Dragonstar, I felt the
same way. In fact, I was also thinking of going microfig on my next biggie.
Going big at minifig scale may be more impressive but it is such a chore.

I guess, given all the interior stuff which is presumably what you mostly mean.
I found that micro was a great way to concentrate on different kinds of ship
features that I wouldn’t work on in minifig.

Also, many sacrifices must be made to the design so the ship is never quite
exactly the way I want it. But your models came at a perfect time to spark my
imagination. :)
|
Well, you know, that’s the real reward in posting stuff here.
| |
The only thing I would suggest is re-taking your pictures against a darker
background, like a dark gray or black. The white ships on white background
don’t allow your models to stand out the way they did in that cool wallpaper
image you made.
|
Well, I did an initial photo shoot against a dark backdrop, but the problem was
the parts of the ship in shadow got very little scattered light from the
backdrop, and so came out almost black, with the result that a lot of details
weren’t as obvious in the final images. I’m thinking of borrowing a better
digital camera from a friend, so I can take a couple of bigger, better shots
specifically for making a decent wallpaper.
Cheers,
