Hey, thanks for the 2 cents worth. i'm not sure on the texture, i could just go with metal plate but that is over used as well. i could also do a greebled look. i'm not sure.
also i am having problems with my new wings. i want to have a big fan in them for landings and take-off. but when i hit bevel it coves the fan hole. here's an image to show what i mean.
