My favorite ship from one of my all-time favorite shows. And when I saw the thread had your name on it, I knew I'd be wowed once I clicked on it.
As already stated, the lighting/paint treatments make this thing ROCK. If you took some pix of this model photoshopped against a star-field, it would totally look like a 1:1 scale Star Fury. And more "real" than what actually appeared on the show.
