Steltek Carrier Looking Very Sharp

Astro Commander has taken some beautiful close-up pictures of his Steltek carrier model. The image shows this gorgeous ship from multiple angles, and each side reveals more detail. All that fine airbrushing is amazing. Gemini Sector's derelict version has always struck me as sad and lonely, so it's pretty neat to imagine what the ship looked like in its prime.

After about the 5th attempt at photographing this thing, I got a batch that works well enough. I eventually had to photograph it on a light blue background so I could both get dynamic range and a color that is easily removed. The model itself is quite smooth, most of the texture is done by airbrushing through various masks.
I think this set of pictures best shows how cool this model looks as you rotate it.
