Interesting. I guess I'm spoiled by that guy's Eagle model who does those posters. He's done just about every nut and bolt. But these models would work well at a distance. The command module detail looks a little mushy. But this piece makes a dramatic initial impact. Sure wish I had a good Eagle model to play with...

I love this show!! That was my favorite spaceship! I got one for christams one year it was awesome! Thanks for the memories! Great render!

not bad, not bad at all - i like it :) only C&C i got is the surface of the spaceship/station looks a bit more platic rather than metal-ish.. on purpose? otherwise add a wee-bit more reflection, not too much so it looks shiny new, just a tad-bit.. just my 2 cents though :) again, good work! :) //Benny.
