Taking a break from my Randy Cooper's Sandcrawler I just finished this little model. Great quality as always from Bandai.Trying to get realistic images in flight. JJ Abrams will surely approve!

Awesome as usual Oscar. Love your modeling skills and photography skills. Still wish you'd join Facebook. There are some really great star wars model groups and general modeling groups where the comments and interaction is so much greater than the web forums! RPF rocks but can't beat the ease and community of FB modeling groups.
 
Thanks guys! The images were taken against the real sky in a sunny clear day. I took care of the base pedestal and added the flares in Photoshop. I played with the WB to get a film look. Perhaps my models are not too popular since I dont build them and paint them the "conventional" or "accepted" way? I also never try to copy the idolized (by some) ILM look either. In the end I dont care about what some "experts" say, and as long as a few more like them as I do, Im happy! Thanks again!

Wonderful, hard to believe these are of a 1/72 scale model! Thanks for sharing your pix, SJ!
Say, how did you achieve the prismatic effect on the "solar panels"?

Thanks! The effect you mentioned was by chance. I believe it happens as a combination of the matte clear coat texture over the solar panel kind of engraved surface receiving the sun's light directly on them.
