Hasbro Tie Bomber rework

[TCSloan]

well, Ive tried and failed. I just cannot seem to replicate that pattern. I tried making a stamp and using Aves to sculpt it on..while it does work, I cant be precise enough with each impression and it ends up looking sloppy after a while.
The only alternative I can come up with is the screen mesh. would you sacrifice accuracy for a precise neat and close to scale pattern? just without the pyramid impressions? seems thats what the other modelers are doing as well after looking at those large scale Tie Bombers.
