For my second one, how about the ship I got my online name from...

Like every dark painted model, it's hard to photograph and have it look as good as it does in person, since every little flaw and imperfection you'd never notice with the eye in person stands out like a sore thumb on film. Still, I'm pleased enough with the results.

The Deathshadow was Harlock's ship during the war between the Illmedas and the Solar Federation. In terms of anime it has a very brief appearance in the beginning of "Arcadia of my Youth" and a couple rough sketches across various manga from flashback scenes. We actually don't get a good look at it until the American Ben Dunn comics brings back a ressurected Deathshadow II, and her sister ship the Dark Victory.

Of course. It's space-camouflaged, for when it flies over forested planets. Like Endor. ;-)

I really like it, actually. :D

Indeed. When I saw that, the first thing I thought was "Zentraedi!" Then I looked again and realized that it was something else entirely...

To let his targets know they are about to have a really bad day? ;)

Maybe green is faster? :wink:

(Nope, not a "red wunz go fasta!" joke. In the book Illegal Aliens, the hyperspace velocity of a ship was dependent on its color. :tongue:)

I'm reminded of the joke about the physicist who was pulled over after blowing a red light...

Officer: "Do you know you blew a red light back there?"
Physicist: "It looked green to me, it must have color shifted"

So the officer writes him a ticket for 1/5th light speed over the limit.
