Re: Painting iridium vehicles

There are these little beads that are long and thin, they are about 1/4"

long, tubes and are already a blueish black shiny color...see 
http://www.tablegamer.com/gfx/beadly.jpg for a picture, I found them at 
WalMart in the 'old lady' aisle.  They might work if you put them 
three-together, I used them for thrusters on scratchbuild ships before 
my wife pointed out that I was better at programming than at sculpting
:P
