magicsy, I learnt almost all of the the Texturing side of things through Kurt's Spitfire Tutorial which I purchased earlier this year. I actually don't mind texturing. I still need to learn heaps about shaders etc. t1ck135, Yes you're right I still have a little more to modelled on the controller, but hopefully I will have it done soon and then back to the Glider. My aim is to have all the modelling completed before the end of the month and that should give me a couple of weeks to focus on the lighting and compositing. Thanks for the comments guys. Cheers Paul
