Tip:

When I was building my First Klingon Bird of prey, I thought it looked a little too clean for such a warlike race. I took a dark grey spray paint can, held the ship about 2 feet away from the nozzle and sprayed. The grey blended well with the dark reds and greens of the ship, and looked pretty good. Be warned: The right distance is importaint. Too close, and you get a totally grey front.
