lol, I honestly like it now. I wasn't sure about it before, I think the shell looks a bit odd before paint, it has some large flat areas which I think need something to break them up.
Some shells maybe you can probably get away with a single colour and a couple of naff stickers and it will still look good. I think the X-6 needs a bit more thought than that.

I did a bit of shading to reduce the impact of the rear end, and break up the flat areas. The orange line down the side breaks up the line of the shell a bit and stops it looking so boxy
