Hey, Kix and everyone else -- Really nice stuff, here.... And it's always excellent to see Carrara standing up to the "big boys" of 3D. Like EMC (which happens to be my brother's initials -- you aren't my brother, are you?), I spent way too much time in my childhood staring at pictures from the movies, absorbing every tiny detail. Of course, that's been a long time, so some of those details have faded away, but I do have a couple comments. On Darth's TIE, the little eight-sided piece of greebling on the outside of the solar wing at the point the main fuselage joins is a little too narrow. There should also be a small opening (only one visible from this angle, two overall, symetrically placed) in the rear horizontal "wing" area. The lasers on both Darth's TIE and the standard TIE are a little too big. I guess size does matter.... :o) EMC already noted the direction of the lines on the wings of the standard TIE. The interceptor looks perfect to me. And all of these little nit-picks are not to say that these are anything less than amazing models. You've really done some outstanding work here! Hope to see more, and that you eventually do have time to get the movie going! - Dex
