Type VI Shuttlecraft

I made this this weekend. It is a minifigure scale Type VI Shuttlecraft from Star Trek TNG. It was fun to research, and it was good to dive back into the legos for the first time since I sorted them this summer. However, I think the stark shadows from the lighting I used make the slope a little too bricky looking. Which it is, I just want it to be less obvious. So before I set up an MOCPage I'm going to take more pictures.
