Yes, it's plastic. I don't know if I can get the metallic look without
destroying the smoothness. But many real-life models of spaceships that you
can buy and texture yourself, are also 'plastic-looking' until they are
clever textured.

Nice idea. I don't like too much nonsense on sci-fi ships, but it's hard to
avoid.

As I understand it, you suggest that I reuse some parts, like real-life
model-builders have some copies of nonsense shapes to glue around their
ships? This is probably a good idea to avoid too much diversity, but optain
a kind of harmonic design.
