Yeah well I don't plan on doing any serious covering of my bad ass engines maybe just a few panels here and there. I will mock up some stuff today and see what y'all think.

Thanks y'all :-* Chris if you go back and look NONE of the greeblyfication is matched from side to side >:D In any case this ship does not belong to Han ;) It is a Star Wars ship and it is HEAVILY modified ,fer instance, no Headhunters in SW lore are listed as having hyperdrives as built... mine has a big one ;D >:D

It sure looks every bit the genuine article! Watching you put this baby together is almost as much fun as quarter draft night!

Like the new covers, seems strange that covering detail can make it look more realistic.  :-\   :)

Yeah it is weird but if your a SW / Hot Rod geek like my own self( and you) it makes perfect sense... look at the end result of something like a Y-wing  or any hotrod where the hood is left off (sometimes the entire front end sheetmetal)  Compare what a Y-wing looks like in SW as opposed to the original artwork or the  "Clone Wars" or a stripped hotrod or bike :-*

Thanks y'all :-* I have always thought that space camo, especially for a fighter would be a finish that would basically absorb visible light ??? :-\ If your moving fast like a fighter occluding stars would not be a problem... unfortunately that would suck as a paint scheme for a cool model :icon_sleep:
Also on a real spaceship that would absorb heat like, oh a black thing, :-\ which would suck for the folk inside it as space is very hot :icon_twisted:
So she will not be black... think metallics and green?

Avoiding detection would be difficult, I'd rather go with something with high refelctance to disapate at least some of the incomign energies.  How about an electrochromic paint that would change color as desired to allow different color schemes as desired/needed?

-chuckle- I considered it more as an excuse to paint it any way you wished (heck, pink with purple polkadots when the color control system shorted out ;) ).
