Thanks for the replies! Pure Morning, Funny you should mention bump and displacement maps...I DID use them! Guess I under-did it, as you really can't see them, but I am just now getting used to using them at all. And I think you're right about it needing more detail. I already see where I might add some...! And don't worry, I need all the constructive criticism I can get! ********* Alienscience, I actually had in mind something out of the past...as if Raymond Loewy designed an art deco fighter circa 1936. The portholes obviously are a personal affectation (as a former pilot myself, I know such wouldn't be practical)...as it is, the model is based on a sketch I did on the (NYC) subway... Thanks again for the replies! I will post subsequent revisions as I do them... Carry on...!
