It's not JMS you need to blame for that. It's Paul Bryant, the CGI artist responsible for the G'Quan, the colour scheme being intended to resemble tribal art. Not all Narn ships have the complicated red/white/black scheme; the T'Loth, for example, has a slightly easier scheme looking like camouflage with grey and two shades of blue. The "Sky Full of Stars" counter set has all sorts of colour schemes on its Narn ships, though the types you've shown all have the red/white/black scheme. When I painted my G'Quan, I did the outlines with marker pen, then filled in the shapes with paint - much easier than trying to get them right just by painting them!bobbyjack60 said:Screw you J. Michael Straczynski! You and your insanely hard-to-paint Narn ships.

First I made the usual modifications for a regular Omega. The middle section was made to rotate as per Burger's instructions here. Small detail rods were added around the front section. Then the Shadow-style spikes had to be added. I'd grabbed a lot of screen shots from "Between the Darkness and the Light", but some of the spikes are guesswork because sometimes a screenshot would show a spike or two, then another screenshot which should have showed the same area in better detail didn't show them at all. Even so, that should be pretty close.
Paint scheme is a coat of overall matt black very lightly sprayed with gunmetal, then the framework lines around the front section were hand-painted with gunmetal. The fluorescent red lights and dull red details on the middle section were then added, and finally the metallic dark blue and red engine exhausts.
