What you think guys ?
I will see once the model is fully painted !

Julien, I think the comparisons are meaningless because of different lighting, monitor adjustments and so forth.

If your gut tells you it's ok, then it probably is.

I think it's just fine.

Me too, if you put some bright studio lights on that baby, it's gonna look alot whiter. I wouldn't do much to it. It looks too fantastic as is.

^ yup. Unless you can arrange to take it to the exhibit and compare side by side, you'll never know if the lighting is the same between any two pics. Your work already looks awesome.

I think it looks good. "imagining" what the light color would do to your paint I think its reasonably close. Certainly close enough that repainting would seem a bit silly to me. Like what has been said unless you get them in the same light we'll never know for sure. Even placing yours under studio lights and comparing to the screen ship doesn't work since I'm pretty positive there was some "color correction" done to the SFX shots anyway.

Your ship looks great - enjoy it!

Hello guys, some new pics of my ISD on my website :

It's not finished though. I have to do the engine bells, add some details on the engine back, on the domes, build bracket to hold the upper hull and draw all the lines with a pencil ! But it will go to the exhibit as it is on the pics.
Hope you like !

Looks spectacular!!!

 

[Jedi Dade]

Agreed - It does look spectacular. However I noticed what appears to be a spot where your details are not really present - are you working on this area? Right at the tip pf the nose of the ship along the trenches there seems to be some missing greeblies.

Thanks guys

Yep this part is done (you can see it in some of my previous pics, mainly when it was unpainted). It's a separate part :

As I said, it's not finished yet, I have all the right brim trench to do, and add more details on the engine area !


You have a good eye Frank !

I also forget to put the guns in place when I took the pics

To say it is FANTASTIC, OUTSTANDING or INCREDIBLE just doesn't seem to be enough! GREAT job!!!

 

[MonsieurTox]

Thanks Ringa for your kind words !
That would be nice to take a pic of our ISD's together !

Well I have a stand for my cam so I took pics of the lite bridge.
I played with the lightning to create shadows, I have to work more, but eh the pics are not blurry !
