yeah i get your point here. you are right i was thinking of replacing the colours with some better ones after i finish at lest the first piece.. because it was a lot of work to do it like that .... mayhaps that is the "not soo bad option.."

i also want to cant the middle of the first ship so it looks not directly "from above". i agree with you.
the colours: might be your monitor a bit as well but still i think you are right after reading your reply and watching it over and over again.
maybe cant the beak below downwards... so it looks more like "slightly-in-front-top" as you mentioned.
...but i have slight problems correcting that piece in this point and would liek to get mre advice at that issue.
thanks for liking the mentioned parts!
