Man, that really is good. Please do everybody a favour and don't participate in the 2008 profile contest.

WOW
It's BEAUTIFUL
One thing though, and this is more of a "file away, but keep in mind" type of thing. You might want to relax some of your surface "excitement" a bit. It's not too much now, but you wouldn't want to get so far from a smooth metal look that the surface isn't recognizable as such. Too busy is as bad as too plain.
But again, not a correction suggestion, just keep your eyes open, and be on guard against going too far
I gotta say it one more time, WOW

GFR:

Man, that is breathtaking. Absolutely inspiring. Your use of shading and texture has given it so much life. I personally wouldn't worry too much about adding too much texture, I think you have it just right, nice and beaten up.
Well done and thank you!

I also think your texturing is great, but I agree with BH: don't go any further. It's fine as it is and any more would be overkill.

Thanks for the vote of confidence guys, its great.
As for the texturing you are right, the last thing that I applied to the Typhoon before I posted it was the texture at the very top of the cowl(I guess this is what you guys are referring to) and I was a little iffy myself as to whether it was a little much. I have scaled back the opacity and it looks much better now. The front is mostly finished now and I am working my way aft (which sounds very wrong) or at least until I go on one of my many creative diversions.

GFR,

Sir, YOU are the man ! Can you share your secret on how you managed the superb "weathered" look ? I tried deciphering your superlative mastery, but gave up !

Yours in awe,

mclaring

Awesome work. Truly inspirational. I just hope I can get near this someday.

Very nice. Typhoons/Tempests have been one of my favorites ever since I got a Typhoon model when I was a kid.
