OK guys heres a little update. I worked on the rudders and corrected some lines that were totally wrong. But just wanted to get your opinions so far.

It's looking good so far!

It's a BIG improvement over using the bevel/emboss, don't you think?

I agree BH its a allot better than the emboss/bevel. Just takes a little longer to do but thats not a big deal. Let me ask another question do you all use 8 bit or 16 bit in photoshop. I running it at 16 bit now are there any benefits over 8 bit ?.

8-bit i find is ok for getting the bones done, once i get to detail i switch to 16bit which i've found shows the contrastinf better and the shading more crisp and less erm... Hazy, i'm sure an expert will enlighten you properly

And, 16 is 8 better so it HAS to be good, right?

Well, as far as I'm aware there are no consumer 16 bit graphics cards, and with LCD they are often only 8 bit or as low as 6 bit with dithering patters. My reading on 16 bit editing modes has seemed to indicate that there is no way to see the wider color range of a 16 bit image on a consumer 8 bit graphic system.

To compare actual 8 bit / 16 bit differences (outside histograms) you'll need to have prints done on a 16 bit printer/16 bit driver, right?

So everyone uses 8 bit for there profiles right ?.

I use 8bit, but I think my printer will print in both I dunno.

Cool I'm going to back it down to 8 bit. I'm sure the saving part will go a bit faster with that. Cause its super slow right now saving a 16 bit file.

Also after looking a little closer at some more tail pics I noticed that a few things that are still way off. I'm sitting here debating on fixing them before I continue on.
