Improving details

As the lighting is more complicated for me... I will start with the simplest part of the job, improving details :
- After I asked myself if I would replace the pipes in the openinf by brass rod, I did only changed in two places where it was really noticable and aesthetics.
- The mandibles are separated from the clamp, ("Scalpel, Doctor Ross")
After | Before
- The escape pods panel lines. Ideally, it should have been all filled and re-writing, but I played lazy here and only simulated the offsets by accentuating recessed engraving on one side or another (with more or less success finally! )
- Laser impact, and this is not what is missing on this ship...
As well as on the escape pod, and cockpit access arm.
- The inside of the clamp is detailed with plastic bits.
Some pictures of this aera on MR Falcon, with and without camera flash :

- plastic strip on the lower clamp
- Small circle on a side corridor
- Scoop out some tiny hole (clamp...):
- Adding, modifying or refining various details, in pictures :
- The dish should have a top and bottom piping around the edge, which proved to be difficult to reproduce, so I simulate the reverse by removing some material where there should not be any piping.
- The pins of landing gear doors are refine to be able to be inserted without strength, and without offsets.
