After white balance correction. Engines are still blue though! These reflect the final look of this model.

She's a beauty! I wish there was an LED blue bulb somewhere between white, and this blue. I scanned through your link to your main album, great choice on the warm whites for the windows. I am so tired of seeing that cool blue that everyone uses for their windows. This looks much better!

One of the biggest issues I had on my Falcon cockpit was trimming the LEDs flush without doing damage to the paint work, seems like you did a super clean job here. Do you care to share how you trimmed them down?

I am totally stealing your art pencil technique for the panel lines when I do my ZSD...should be here this week!

As I hope I conveyed in your other thread, I really like the results of your model. I especially like the panel penciling and the warm lights in the windows.

Makes me want to pick one of these up myself!

These photos look much better! Can the engine lights get brighter?

What is the tool from MicroMark? Is it a knife?

The tool is a mini or a micro chisel. Really handy. The engine lights can be made brighter with the remote. It can get really bright! Thanks for looking!

It took me about three months, working at least 2 evenings per week and on the weekends. It was time consuming and new terrain for me since Ive never done any FO work up until this time.

Thanks for the kind words!

No problem! I really respect and appreciate such hard work! For your first FO it looks absolutely fantastic, srsly, I thought you were a professional, it certainly looks like it's done by a professional from what I can tell as a total beginner at this. I'm already 26 and I wonder if I can pull that off cause I've never done anything like that before but I really want to try, because I want to express my love for the many fandoms I have :lol
