[QUOTE="MGibster, post: 9758370, member: 4534"] "Oh! I'm afraid the deflector shield will be quite operational when your friends arrive." -- Palpatine We are inching ever closer to completion. One oddity I can't help but notice is how much brighter the model is in the photo when compared to the naked eye. If I didn't know any better I'd think the model in the photo wasn't the same one sitting on my desk.
