Thanks to all,
I'll try to explain the texture. Each panel has a rounded bevel and is about 90% black. I then made a clone of the panel (CNTL K) and removed the bevel from that rectangle I applyed a grainy texture to the rectangle and made the colors black and white. I applied an eliptical transperancy and change the type from mix to bleach. Then I backed down the transperency of the center to 76% and left the edges at 100% so you just see the texture in the center of the panel where the lighting is supposably the best.
As to taking a long time... yes probably 200+ hours for every thing. But I have made a lot of other dials and such so have the technique of snaping copies at fixed angles around a gauge down so that it does not take too long. I try to make these illustrations photo realistic as they often cannot be seen clearly bu the public when they visit. I donot try to make them look aged as I am concerned that I give an acurate representation of what the device "should" look like.
Any way glade you liked it. Here is the matching receiver.

Just one question - not meaning to be rude, but are the words "solenoid" and "filament" really misspelt on the actual radio? Otherwise a great bit of drawing!

There are a couple of other misspelled words. I noticed that Transmitter is spelled Transmitor. You should probably go thru all of the verbage on the drawing and double check. I can't read it all from your post.
You did an amazing job with this machine!
Great work!!!!!! WOW!! http://www.talkgraphics.com/images/smilies/eek.gif

Hmmm. Yes I am a very poor speller. That is why I would like Xara to have a spell checker like Corel (almost the only thing I like about Corel)or an addon spell checker that would work in Xara.
The curator (Sp?)at Battleship Cove is a very good speller and the drawing all get checked by him. Also the images will be a a much smaller scale so most words will not be readable.
Oh Well....
