Re: Sa'Vasku Colours

G'day Nick,

 >Just out of interest what colour schemes have other Sa'Vasku
 >players gone for?

Don't know if you've seen the painting FAQ at.... I've completely
forgotten 
and now can't find it in my bookmarks sorry (Tim is that one of yours?)

If you do find it (maybe via the web ring) its got a list of SV paint
schemes.

We've painted up a few SV fleets now (for ourselves and others),
essentially

First one was black undercoat with a blue body and purple legs (shaded
from 
dark to light as you went from the body to the tip)and 'eyes' /bulbs 
whatever they are  with pink veins over the top, finished off with a
blue 
wash and highlighting for the body and a purple wash for the legs and
bulbs.

Second one was black undercoat with successive orange through to bone 
drybrushing

Third one was green body, with light green veins, yellow legs and ruby 
(i.e. painted live a gemstone) bulbs

Idea for a future one, black with opalescent highlighting (so get 
iridescent like effect seen on beetles) and another idea was black with 
grey drybrushing and then yellow zigzags all over to look like B5
shadows.

Cheers

Beth
