BARTgai - That ship looks GREAT!! It really looks "Old & used" and ready for action!

Hopewell - Nice start, and if it were me doing it, i'd go on to find some complimentary colours (Light Blue maybe, Orange.... ) whatever you feel goes well with red, and then start adding some "Finer Line work" within the Red that you already have. Maybe have a look at some of the other Assegai's in the Skins gallery & get some inspiration from there?

It's a great base to start from though, so whatever you do don't scrap it.
