Thanks for the info guys.

I have used Photoshop for years, so i can imagine i will be okay with anything that needs to be done in there.

I would like to express this model as detailed as possible, and it was my plan to complete the finished shape correctly before laying in detail to the body and rotors.

I was thinking about getting that tut. What makes it more appropriate? (despite it being a similar object). I'm assuming the same kinds of techniques will be employed?
