9. "RE: Painting Completely Complete"
In response to message #8
 
   >Gotcha, thanks. (I was imagining that they would be drawn on.)

Dave did add a number of surface details that way, and a couple more by actually carving the surface a/o adding some styrene, but the level of panel detail present on, for example, the blueprints proved too fiddly to be feasible at the scale of the Shapeways model (which, at about 5½ inches long, is roughly 1/630), at least with the tools available. (The black lines you see in the photos, e.g. the borders on the yellow stripes and the vents on top, were drawn with a pen.)
