I'd really like to texture it but I have never textured a model before and I am not sure I know where to begin.

I used a technique from one of Kurt's modeling tutorials to add panel detail by using lots of beveled boxes pushed into the model. I am not sure how to UV layout the model with these boxes.

If I pull them out and uv layout them seperately then I don't know how I would paint a contigous pattern across them.

I have more detail I need to add before I worry too much about it. I want to add different arm on the left side and put some more detailing into the body.

Kurt if you are listening, does your mech texturing tutorial texture the model with the panel boxes or did you combine them int to the model first?
