Progress is a nice feeling. I've found when doing big projects like this to break it up into parts and bring those parts to completion before moving on to the next. It helps keep the project moving and reduce the risk of boredom. On the flipside, the texturing can become inconsistent over time so doing a base pass at first and a final detail pass at the end all at once is ideal. No point in obsessing over texture details this early in the project.
So this is me throwing basic materials on the model and moving on to the next part.
