shape - followup

Firstly, love the images.

On the question of shape, I thought that the outer planets did not show any phase (to us) and that we would always see them fully illuminated.

Is this different for Mars due to its relatively close proximity? Or am I missing something?

How far do we see this phase go before we loose Mars to daylight?
