Fabulous detailing! The re-works you are doing are well-executed, as well. Looks great!

Wow, that side-by-side really shows off the heart you put into this!

Fantastic work, it is good to see the use of green lies to add to the detail of the kit.
Seeing this makes me want to break my one out of the box.

magnets for the deflector domes:

while working on the deflector domes i managed to kill a lot of the antenna greeblies, DOH !!!
i didnt have anymore fitting plastic rod here. what i have are tons of supercheap chinese micro drill bits. so i cut off the bottom shafts of these to do the job

everything in place:

Using a magnet for the domes is really a smart idea. Mine are glued on, and when I moved across the country, I had to pack the thing very carefully.

 

[barney five]

Yeah magnets are great for a lot of things

working on slimming down the secondary buildings

i cant completely sand down the large one, but breaking the outer edges a little bit will making the side walls virtually appear not so high.
...the thin lining arround the building also helps for a slimmer overall appearence.

...not happy anymore with this small detail part i created, so i cut it off!
it was too high, too squared.

two an a half hours work for the garbage can, DOH

 

[barney five]

...almost three hours for the new one:
