nicely strangely beautiful enough i'd use the skin.

good work.
Surrounded by suck and underwhelmed with mediocrity.
I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Had the "White58" project on hold for a long time. Looks like you beat me to the finish Oct :)

 On the flip side, the panel line in both the model, and the profile pic too, seens to be a bit too strong.

 The white coating is usually a water soluable paint hastily applied, and would peel off/fade away upon the surfaces that meet strong air friction most frequently(usually leading edges), showing the greenish under layer. Perhaps you could apply a bit of this effect too!

Updated the image in the first post.  I decreased the panel line opacity.  That is the final submit. :cool:

oy, sorry about that Kweassa, I did not know you had a white 58 started :eek:.

Nothing to be sorry about! My progress was like picking a shovel of sand and saying, "someday, this will be the Sahara!" :D

 Btw, the updated pic looks fantastic!
