the result of the material editor

this is more in detail with the material editor 

covered the aircraft with a material.

started working with different materials and seeing how the work when you add on to a material how it effects the different pieces it is applied to.

i have done some smoothing and now just trying to bring out some edges. I only finished the hull of the aircraft for the smoothing.
