my cousin Alan was an Air Policeman during the VN war. Stationed on Guam, they stood guard AT the aircraft. He used to know exactly how many rivets there are on a Buff ...

hey @Erik, do we got the budget for a lettuce and tomato throwing emoji?

one panel and 2000 rivets down

4/98000 to go

would have been interesting to see how the last D models wouldve handled going down low

you realize on the scale of the aircraft, and texture sizes, given a "known" distance from the aircraft, you probably wouldn't even SEE the rivets. Wrinkles in the skin? Maybe (I know I have). Panel lines would be visilbe, but very faint.

I know that 

These here would be early wip shots. Will drop opacities later across all panels

Wrinkles is a good idea though for later
