Very nice Jason.  Between that and Junkbot I can see you've been using your time
very well :)

I have one question.  How are you taking such high quality photographs - especially
the ones with the all white backgrounds?  The photographs are brilliantly clear.

Do you actually take the photo against a pure white background, or is there some
photoshop editing involved?  If there is photoshop editing, how are the shadows
falling in the correct place?  The photo's almost look like very high quality
renderings.

I need to know the secret for my own photographs! :)

Great models though, and thanks for any info.

Kevin

Being one of my favourite vessels in science fiction, I've wanted to build a
LEGO version of this ship for a long time.  And as it turns out I actually HAVE
been building it for a long time. :)  I think I started this puppy back in
December 2002.  Among other things that time was spent waiting for parts to be
released (gray 6x6 radar dish, gray 3x3 radar dish) and 'getting it just right'
(I've lost count of how many times various parts of the ship have been
redesigned).  Mix some heavy doses of procrastination in there as well. :)

Here's a <http://www.truedimensions.com/lego/customs/2001/candid.jpg 'candid'
shot> of the ship sitting on one of my build tables to give a better idea of
it's size.  Notice the storm trooper in the middle of the stand.

In the end I'm very pleased with how it turned out.  The only piece I will
forever be waiting for is a gray open ended wrench for the pod arms.

At some point I'll have to figure out where to display it.  At the moment that
build table (being 8ft long) is the only surface in my house that is big enough
for it to sit on - other than the floor of course!

Enjoy!
