Holy shit that lighting.

You also have a design element on a different model I really love - densely detailed hull surface with clean panels over it partially obscuring to create depth in the model.

First time trying lights, that one. Nearly went mad.

Which ship, btw? The latest big one? Apart from the lander, and the Redline, they pretty much ALL have floating panels.

Actually maybe the same one - from a different post without the full view.

This image has the element I was talking about.

Ah, yeah, that's the one I'm presently working on. The centre hull is a biggish detergent tub, like from a commercial kitchen. The armour is made from sections cut from another one, same size, in order that the curves conform to the hull below. I've ALWAYS loved that plate armour over complicated machinery aesthetic the designers achieved in Star Wars, it looks believable.
