Oh, right on bazze!!! That is one of the reasons my models are so simple. I didn't know how long it would take me if I tried a technics model. Probably end up importing it in sections but if you can group by color that would rock!!! All my models so far I did redid the material piece by piece, and only picked simple fast textures to give it the plastic look (ok somewhat) Thanks bazze, I think one of my problems is not increasing the dome size. I keep getting a very bright washed out effect not soft like yours. Thanks again for giving me a step in the right direction.
