I think just cutting from an image of the Naboo ship would do fine to make it shiny. If possible though, other effects would be cool.

Windu, what I'm trying to do, when the models finished, is have the ingame light constantly reflecting off the ship so it really looks metallic. I think it would look better than a stationary hightlight like you're talking about.
EDIT: That tutorial helped a bunch Kelso. Thanks. It took a little tweaking, but I got it to look awesome.
