Ok so finally got the bulk work of the UV map sorted, mostly just scaling and juggling about to better use the texture space and then on to detailing it once I finalize the AO bake.

Cool! Looking forward to it. This will actually complete our planned dropship/interceptor ensemble!

Quick update, Given it a base colour using my own twist on the Stiletto scheme and stuck some hazard stripes on, perhaps gone OTT with them so I am thinking of removing the wing ones.

Next steps are to tidy up the artifacts in the base colour and start adding details.  Any suggestions for the details welcome.

I think the warning stripes work around the cockpit and bay doors, but I'm not so sure about the wings.

Done a little outer texture work but not happy with how the wings are distorting so might have to redo the UV on them

It looks promising. It may be a little early to make this suggestion, but is there any chance of getting just a hint of color in there? Objects that are pretty grey still have the tiniest shades of color -- often blue for metalic/polymer stuff like an aircraft. And having some color distinction can help it "pop" a little bit more.

As an example, check out the difference in a grey and colored stiletto. Both have the feel of strict military function, but the latter just feels a little bit more exciting (IMO).

You probably already planned to do this later, but thought I'd mention.

yay i'm not dead ;)

indeed I had planned on mottling the colour a little, I have also added some "paint chips" on the edges of the blue but I'm not happy with them at the minute.

thoughts?

Well, looking at the chips...you feel they're too big?

I like it but I would agree with Nutter. Smaller chipped edges, but more of them.
