Morkonan,

on most completely with you ...

Such tricky pre-procedural materials I'm just trying with a lot help by bagginsbill. It's for the seam's along side the legs. Would not be the easiest but could bring some reality to that parts.

Black rubber boat in the moon light ... for sure a worthwhile theme ... but I tend more to do this with a yacht. Normal rubber boats are a bit shiny and giving reflections. But all that war materials are pushed extremly to completely without shine or reflections ... today as in the last century ...
So from point of reality if they did a good job, it would be a picture of a glossy moon over the sea with a big dull point with no given contour ... a happy yachting crew with some bottles of beer and might be one overboard makes more fun ... :laugh:

War is never funny so I think in these pictures there should be a sense of black humour like in example this u-boat lost im time and meeting Cesar's triremes ...

Quote - - I desperately need to get a new system.  It's not money that is the issue, it's the time I feel is necessary in researching various components.  So, it may take me a month or so to figure out exactly what I want, thirty minutes to order it and four hours to assemble it..  But, it's a task I really need to undertake because the system I'm using now is several years old.

One month to figure out is the maximum ... otherwise the components are date out again ... :huh:
I did a search for a new monitor in July/August but come not to a buy. Now I looked again for the actual prizes and didn't find most of them I once had written down. All things back to the beginning and again ...

If you didn't mount a pc for longer times be warned. Things have become more difficult to have the components matching ... not connecting, ok mostly, but working together.
One year ago with my new pc I took by tradition a asus-board. All worked harddisk, network and even memory ... no problem ... but for the hell the sound chip came not to life ... wether with XP nor W2K ... ok, normally no big need for squawking compartment but paid is paid. So it has to work even if to be switched off. Gave the board back to the shop, they sent to asus to examine ... all that nice guarantee stuff ... after round 8 weeks all was back with the information that board is fine, use the newest drivers. Ok, thats the first I do with new IT equipment loading lot'S of drivers from lot's of sites. So nobody knows why but it didn't come alive. I lastly managed with the shop to change that board ... but their have been times this was lot's easier ...

Fine, fine, no problem to make a beta test ... saithere to find and here we go ...

Hi paramount, nicely done ... congrat's ...

Not to criticize your master ... I think the shadows are correct and the left arm is laying in the dark and therefor not much visible.

B.t.w. what gloves did you use ... gloves is a everlasting theme, not mauch there in market, especially in freebies ...

I hope the vacuum is not to empty ... cause she might have problems with her helmet not matching her suit ...

Apropos helmet, the lighting of the visor this very nice but I miss a small highlight/glance on the helmet above the visor.

The only iritating is that diagonal darkblue strip on the blue planet. Is that part of some rings or a mismatch in the texture ... very strange ...

For the effect of floating silently through the space it might be easier to have their legs/feet visible. Mostly with wrong shadows people are floating over the ground there they stand on it. But here this could the right impression. Especially if bending their knees some 20/30 degrees backward and spreading her legs for a small V.

Is that starship just exploding? It's not so clearly or am I on the false highway ?
