Re: Painting Omegas for use

I am still wondering what the best base color to paint these ships would
be.  I'm leaning towards a dark gray right now, but seem to recall them
looking dark red-brown in one episode.	What's the consensus?  Any
additional washes, etc. necessary?

For that matter, what are the current thoughts on colors for the
Hyperion? 
Again, I'm going with a lighter gray, but am not really satisfied with
it. 
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

By the way, I found that .055" piano wire ($0.45 at Ace Hardware) works
great as an axle for the rotating section for the Omega.
