From Ebay "Smooth Grey tones Created with a Cool hand, smooth daddy, pimp strokes of fine gradients, were most deftly applied with a aero brush! After that, the entire tank was hand lined, shaded, and highlighted. Then amzing little details were added. Like hand writing below and custom, EXTREME,hand wroten graffix,like "Kill", and "Orc's Suck!" & "Boom!" Finally the custom, acid like, trippie\hippie cammo, was applied in a hap-hazrd like manifesto! After which a weathering was applied (mud, dents, scratches). This weapon pf destruction can now hide in any Urban Enviroment. Even your friend's crappy, City Fighting table. Voila It all looks too real! All kidding aside we paint all our models to realistic movie quality levels. Check out the link to the past auction for more details. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1777304793

Movie FX worker here. It's probably time to be quiet, Badaab. And especially to stop throwing legal claims around for such an ephemeral term. Have you seen "Plan 9 from outer space?" That was a movie...

Most models in a movie flash very fast before your eyes, and they are moving to boot!! Some of the "tricks" you referred to don't hold up with digital photography either. ILM had to fix, and re-detail, a lot of models on Episode-I after a lot of their "tricks" didn't look good shot on a digital camera. I think we should clarify that when we say "Movie Quality" we mean beat up and weathered, as oppossed to the "Codex", "brand new" right out the factory Look. Alos, that when the model is shot right, it fools the eye and looks real for a breif moment. But if you sit and stare at almost any static picture, most models will look like models. Yes we have seen the details in a 1\35th scale models. Unlike you we live near Hollywood, not Colorado.

Actually, I saw the models used in the original Star Wars. Though they looked great on film, the models themselves weren't terribly detailed, just nicely weathered, really. Many other tricks work toward the final result, such as lighting, animation, and film restoration. (yes, even newly shot film needs to be 'restored')
