The Xiphos: Fully lit and painted VT-49 Decimator
What kind of paints did you use? I was looking for this shade to paint my Decimator in and I can't for the life of me find it.
Edit: Looking at the link above thats Flat Black and Bronze? I looked like a Grey with Gold...

A friend who went to Worlds picked up a VT-49 for me. Got it from him last weekend. Worked on this pretty much every day, a bit at a time. Finished it last night. Decided not to do the lower front windows because red LEDs would make it look too much like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Decimator.
Drilled out and ran some fiber optic to do the running lights. Use a piece of milk jug as the engine diffuser, and a piece of black plastic from a case of Monster energy drink that my FLGS has sitting behind the counter.
Two red LEDs inside, with a battery clip and switch accessible under a hidden panel on the front underside.
Got to play it in a tournament, using Oicunn. Got to kill a Whisper and a Chewie by ramming them, in two separate matches!
I know I'm a few years late here... but that non-reflective black with metallic gold is perfect! The lights are awesome also.
I'm waiting for Darth Maul thee leap out with is lightsaber-staff.
