Man..is that ever ‘out there’. To be honest, when I first saw it in the

hardest colours for me to get my head around. A closer look however reveals
that the spire formations on it seem to work with the outlandish colour
scheme. The Bionicle/Racer bits in the engine cowling look excellent.

Thanks. I actually quite like this colour, and I used it in a smaller craft but
wanted to try something more adventurous, and I made a conservative guess that a
gaudy colour like lime-green would need a cool neutral like chrome to improve
the overall scheme.

The only criticism I would have is the interior. For some reason, the
‘plain’ colours of black/red/gray don’t seem to fit the exterior. I would
almost expect to see an all white interior with trans highlights or
something. A minor personal taste.

Well, I vetoed white as I didn’t want it as the interior decor colour scheme for
a luxury craft... also, the belly of the foresection is effectively one element
thick inside and out, to maximise the interior space... and the belly exterior
is black for brick budgetary reasons, hence... black. Not sure what sort of use
of trans highlights you were thinking of. if I’d organised the interior
structure better, I might have been able to make it a different colour...
