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

I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess you weren't burdened by an over-abundance of schooling, then? :smile:
