Yeah, If I have something to work from that's not too complex, I can
generally finish really fast, and once I finished it, I realized how awful
it would look with Insectoid wings. now If only I could figure out an easier
way to open the payload bay (right now I have to stick the end of a
mechanical pencil into the slot between the handle-bar piece and the flag,
then lever it open far enough to get a nail in.
as for the blue, it's the color of the Atraedies units in Dune 2000 (and
Emperor, even though the Atraedies colors are Green and Black in the books,
as I recall). blue is also the color I have the most smooth plates of right
now, and I wanted to give the top of the fuselage a smooth surface.
thanks for your input
