I'd like to commend your dedication and faithfulness (is that a word?) to the original model. This project is one of the reasons I check RPF EVERY day
Glad to see your awesome images and can't wait to see the finished Death Star
I had a thought today...
I may mist these darker panels on the lower dome with a very fine white.
I do like the contrast they have now, but at the same time I think it is still a bit too rich/dark, even accounting for fading.
The grey speckling test failed, but over the entire model, I have applied a white speckliing at about 10% (10 white dots per 100 black), and at a finer level. Brad can attest - doing this adds depth and detail to the otherwise monotone black pattern (which [monotone] is the problem I think I have with these darker panels on the lower half).
So I think going with a fine and light white mist will:
--Even out these panels
--Add depth and detail
--Lighten them up just a tad
Wow, you are right about that. Good eye. I knew something bugged me with the blank band but I couldn't pinpoint what until you showed that shot. Looking forward to it.
Nice to see this looking so complete at last!
A little nitpick; I'm going to say I think the panels in the dish are too dark. Did you use a different grey? It looks a bit bluish. I think that level of contrast makes it look off.
Cant wait to see the lights!
The darker trapezoids were tough. Still not sure if they're still a bit too dark. In some reference shots, the contrast reads quite great. In other shots, its barely there.
Tell me what you think.
