      Ta folks, I must get down to fixing the rest of the model and replacing the 'windows' but hopefully a proper render soon.

                      Looking at more detailing, as well as a proper interior. In this render you can just about see the speedo which will have two other instruments soon. I want to try and limit vision into the interior as would be the case with mildly smoked privacy glass. Not there yet.

                        A quick look at the interior. There will be much tweaking of materials to get this improved.

                              I'll take your word for that. From where I sit, it already looks spectacular.

                                My mind set is that nothing is ever right or finished which I need to deal with. I have found a good source of instrumentation tho' Smith's instruments are still around and have a huge library of variations to select from.

                                    This is really amazing. I am so lazy to model such a complicated model inside Sketchup. I may never imagine such a work using Sketchup. This is super cool!

                                      Thanks mate. This was started in about 2014 so I may as well finish it. ๐Ÿ˜†

                                        Moving in on textures, plus adding some more detail like the carpet. I am trying for a little worn but clean, like a concours type appearance rather than perfect. The modeling is a compromise but the texturing is a nightmare.
