Initial stages of painting the storage tank

This has been painted in the same way as the fuel canisters at this point but I’ve had to beef up the details. A big grey board will look awfully dull. I decided to add a big red stipe around the midriff of it. Nothing says don’t shoot at this like a big red stripe. Well, according to Star Wars anyway.

Did you know that the reason the Tantive IV (Leia’s ship at beginning of episode IV) is painted red is that red is a warning colour. In Star Wars diplomats are protected and anyone who shoots upon them shall suffer the wrath of the ruling government. Sensor scans etc will also give you this warning but ships were also painted red as a visual reminder. (Or at least that’s the fluff reason) more info can be read here on the consular class cruiser wookieepidia page

So all those red X-wings were… diplomats? ?
