Thanks for those vids!!
After trying every single trick in the book, it has come to my attention that the host for these movies might have made some kind of ''timebomb'' playable expiration date on the files themselves. I guess?
Also while I am still sculpting for a while as I wait for brain tumor surgery authorization, I have noticed that some think that the over-population of greebles makes the toy or model or landscape dioramas more exciting or something.
I tend to disagree. just the right amount is acceptable and coloring and placement make the items pop. I use as an example the K'Tinga from the star trek movies.
I think that the piccard ships are kind of in an awkward stage right now, not really finding their footing, and some ideas sound nice in the board room, as with discovery ships, but are not long-lasting favorites.
Going too far with a certain style or ''differentness'' just doesn't keep my attention and devotion.
Over greebling makes me ask-WHY?
When TOS was remastered I really liked the texture on the 1701 but not the nacelle domes.
The Romulan could have been lit up, but they didn't. The Klingon D7 was made dull and unattractive. Almost all the other ships turned out ok, but the old styles had an attractive futuristic look that still fascinates me today.
The over greebled Nostromus from Alien was cool at the time but now when everything has that crusty over-plated, rod''d no clean space anywhere appearance it really turns me off.
However, I do like the fact that when paper models are severely textured it hides the joins and seams and makes the model look smooth and fluid.
The eye doesn't bump and halt at every crevice at the joins.
I had to get all this off my chest, as you know things get stuck in my craw and I find no relief until there is a satisfactory solution. What is YOUR favorite greeble job? Mine is still the K'Tinga
