I like the left Light Cruiser but the right for everything else.

I'd go with a 60/40 mix of left and right. The detail is good, and a happy medium glow would be good, and avoid the glare off of the battleship's lower deck.

my humble opinion is that the ones on the left have a tad too much glare (reflection) and it gives the models a bit of a pLastic feel. The ones on the right have no glare (reflection) and for some reason make me think of a rubber type texture. So, I'd say the model needs the glare (reflection) but perhaps not as strong as the current left samples.

Aside from that, these ships look great.

Cheers!

My first impression was the left ones, however they are a tad too shiny. The right ones are more like natural light in space. Will there be Gamillon and Comet empire?. Will SE5 have reflex guns?

I agree exactly with Kamog. I like the ones on the right, except for the light cruiser.

1 left - dont light the brown thing on the right
2 right - like the yellow in the bridge area better - light would illuminate forth not be so muted as the left
3 left - really close but left seems to have better defination, and right is rubbery as mentioned above.
4 right - darker.. dreads should be darker.

All subjective though. They are both better then I could ever do.
