All the heavier larger panels are completely custom bud, as I said no symmetrical Aztec patterns for me. The more subtle underlying "blocks" are also all randomly picked too. And all panels are picked with consideration to structural "flow." I think I remember helping you out in that regard back when you were painting the Reliant.
Gets to a point that once overlaid, you can't escape what
may look to be a pattern, even when one isn't actually there. But there are no symmetrical patterns at all on her. Orthos will reveal that. As far as "fitting" I think she looks pretty good to my industrial design sense as this is all based on actual shipyard ship-building refs of visual panels, which are actually kind of a visual mosaic mess in a way.
If you have an example of what you are refering too, feel free to share, as you know I am as open to paths of improvement.
