Argh! Three days! That's all I needed to finish MY pulp sci-fi ship for
Captain Crash! ARG!

Excellent job with the lines on the nose. Makes my smaller one look like

sure to keep the nose a light color and the bottom section a darker color.
I think it still has the 'patchwork' effect, but for the genre, that could
be acceptable.
