Gents,
I'm new to the site, but have been watching The DM Craft videos for a while. I'm currently working on a 3D "space ship" that I plan to use in a D&D campaign. The idea is that the PCs will be traveling through the Astral Plane via the ship. I've got the ship mostly assembled, but I'm not sure of the best way to paint it. I'm planning to spray on flat black for the base, and have thought about sponging on dark gray (as demonstrated here with light gray highlights, but I'm wondering if anyone else has a better idea.
Thanks, Scott H.
P.S. One of the DM Craft videos mentions a technique (in an earlier video) for wood floors, but I can't seem to find the original video that demonstrates how to do that technique. Does anyone know where to find that video?

Grays will work nicely, something like a gun metal.. Bronze and copper could also work for some of the large areas, maybe something like purples, blues, reds, greens, and oranges for detailing. Something for the magical properties behind the ship's workings.. Of course you can always go with browns for the wood planks inside the ship.. just a few ideas.

Decide on the material first, scotth. Is your ship out of shiny, or messed up/scarred/oiled metal (like Industrial)? Is it polished and white laquered? (like in 2001) The process of shadowing/highlighting is all the same (beside some detail texture), just decide on a color scheme, you like. You could also add some markings/numbers/hieroglyphs with spray and stencils, which is always selling the space theme ... those black + yellow warning stripes, danger space symbols, high voltage etc.

Printing out details from stolen web graphics can go a long way to filling out some graphic details. If you use laser printed graphics they won't bleed when you glue them on.
