Stuart,
now you've got me thinking.... I will have to go back and take a hard look at the surface of the hull plates and see if I can come up with a texture. It will have to be subtle though. It...

Thanks Ross,
I could not agree with you more. I did not really expect to be able to have this be clear at this size, but was curious to see what the limits were, as I do not have much experience...
