Rik,
You're right, as usual. I want to be "good", not "pretty good". But, again, what looks bad on the big screen would not necessarily look bad on TV or a computer screen. Again,
this traveltube from Space: 1999 looks good, and I'm willing to be it's no bigger than HO scale.I'll defer to your expertise, but doesn't the HO train shot look good on a computer screen or even TV? I'm asking because, as I've said all along, I have poor eyesight - I watch movies for their stories, not their visual effects.
LasVegasIRA, CGI is not as good as miniatures, but, of course, I'll consider CGI if it has better quality.
