Bussard waffling

[King Class Scout]

the Arcangel is ready to go, but I have a little problem...

I'm trying to decide on a basic Bussard colo(u)r, but nothing really looks right.  I also need a pattern for the bussard that I can pull off myself.

I have three basic colors here.

other colour suggestions (besides the usual red) would also be helpfull.  Opinions please.

two at a time, because it has trouble with more than that while posting.

top: Original Amber
bottom: Vaser purple.

What program are you using to edit the textures?

[King Class Scout]

Paintshop Pro 7.02

Part two

green (suggested by Baz)
blue

note, I've figured out Registry spots, and have added them to the Arcangel (visible in the blue-tip version)

[Dalek]

The blue looks cool but kinda solid. Does that need "waffling" then?

[King Class Scout]

blimey, i caused a barney....

waffle as in undecided and stalling.  but I do need a texture for em.  I'm trying to decide on the actuall colour first.  the last time i tried to make "purple" glows, i was informed they were pink!

[baz1701]

agreed the blue work as a base colour

[Biggins]

I'm with baz, use the blue.

colour is now officially set.
I was playing with various patterns last night to acheive the same serendipitous goof that gave my the cool Bussard under-layer that I can't seem to sneak in.  unfortunatel, a lot of what I try tends to change it from the blue you see in the pics to a blinding Cyan (which i absolutely HATE).  I'm gonna have to do some tweaks.  I'm gonna try posting a series of samples as well.

note,  this will be retrofitted to the Gabriel, as it has a new Hardpoint, anyway

Edit:  here are a couple samples.  the second would be hard to pull off on the Gabriel, as it was all barrel rolled

Damn, that's a horrible trick to play on a man! Naming a thread after food... *emo teardrop* I WANT WAFFLES NOOOOOWWWWW!!! D':

...anyways...

Go with Red. Always looked good on the connies. :]

*chuckle* this is another species (or, group species) that has captured and refit some derelicts (many Dades and Connies are considered Lost), so they're using their own pallet for refitting.

also, as you can see in the blue tip, I now have registry spots.  however, I'm tempted to put in a glow strip at the edge of the Bridge module so it looks right.
