I didn't comment eariler (I was late in getting caught up in this thread), but I wanted to say "Great step by step Chris". Easily one of the best so far. I'd never really given thought to using decals for a wood grain effect, now I'm hankering ro give it a try. Well done.
thanks fir the tutorial chris, i must admit im thinking what i could use the wood grain for as planes arent really my thing. ive got to give it a try one day.
