[SOLVED]Funny Lighting issues. . . .

Does someone know what is causing this or what I can do to fix it? Thanks.

I'm guessing smoothing on the polys/edges. You need to set the bottom/top as "hard/sharp". A workaround is to separate the end caps to force sharpness (in some instances).

What editing/modelling software are you using?

Blender. Do you know how to set sharpness on the model? I'm sort of new to the whole concept. I sorta figured it out on the fly with youtube videos.

Looks like you've either:

1. Added smooth lighting but didn't edge-split it
   
2. Or not added a KSP shader in Unity
   

To edge-split it in Blender add a modifier to it in Object mode:

Then adjust the angle if you need, and hit Apply.

There is an edge split modifier on the models it is set at 30 degrees which is default I believe. I am using KSP Diffuse shaders on both of them. Thanks though.

An easier way is to make it under Unity.

1. Select your mesh in the project window.

2. In Inspector window, choose "Calculate" normals. Set "smooth angle" to 60 (or whatever you want).

3. Press "Apply".

You have fixed your shader issue.

That fixed everything. Thank you greatly. I very much appreciate the help.
