What kind of stuff did you do when you edited them? Did you adjust any color/lighting properties? A few of them (i, l, m, o, & x) look like the colors are correct. There’s just a hint of purplish wash on the right side of pics o & x that suggest you might have a lighting/white-balance issue. The really weird thing is that you’ve got shots that are posed nearly identical to each other (gun/cockpit closeups) that have a big color shift that just shouldn’t happen

   Aside from the washed-out look, I’m proud of my photography this time around.

Some low-angle profile shots would have been nice, but the ones you posted are well-lit, framed nicely, and in focus, none of which is guaranteed on the internet.

   The landing gear aren’t as greebled as I could have made them, but that’s they fit seamlessly into the ship’s surface. Maybe I’ll do some more work later on and see how I feel about them.

They do, but they just look like flat planks when they’re open. I’m not a landing gear guru by far, and I can’t tell from your pics how much height the wing-tips will require, but would it be possible to turn the existing landing gear into hatch plates that reveal some other form of landing gear? Or figure out a way to maybe add some interior support struts so they don’t look quite so fragile?

   The visors actually went on pretty easily, there’s not much to explain. You have to get them in just the right spot. They pop off relatively easily with a minimal handling, but they look good when they stay on.

I thought that might be the case. I had tried it out, but I wasn’t comfortable with how much the visor has to flex and how easy it was to bump it off. I thought maybe a Biker Scout head would look good because you’re not using black Ninja wraps, but you have to get it perfectly centered not to see yellow peeking out in the corner, and you still see a bit of the nose area. It’s also not noticably visor-like through that rectangular eyeslit.
