Im pretty satisfied with my NMF right now, the thing is that I have been pretty satisfied with it in the past, and if I hadn't kept on pushing it I wouldn't have got to this stage. Who knows when I open these files again in the future I might (almost certainly will

) not be so enamored with it and decide to push it some more.

Anyway long story short, I'm still a ways of getting my work to a level im totally satisfied with, but that's ok, its the journey that interests me.

Perfection no matter how unobtainable should be every-bodies goal.

A possible next step you could take in your metal is to apply a subtle bumping effect to the panels, between the rivet lines. I reckon a quick way to achieve this is to paint a black layer with white fuzzy blobs on each panel and then use Emboss to shade it.

Can any of you learned gentlemen identify the type of drop tank being used on this Jug, and does anybody happen to have a better image of one?

Doesn't look like a typical 'flat' tank.

TIA.

Hi GFR

I found some info about this type of drop tank

Manufactured by Ford Motor Company in Brisbane Australia as a temporary measure due to long shipping times from the USA. Essentially a field modification.
