**JOELGLAINE, sorry if my post looked like I was slamming AntoniaTiger, that was not my intention. My intention was just to show where the model comes from, and why I do things in a particular way, like making my dials go from 0-1, instead of using degrees.
As far as detail goes, I am ex-military myself, and according to my girlfriend I "live in a military museum". I have hundreds of books, reference models (the plastic kind), etc, so I do try to make things as realistic as possible (when my skills allow, lol).
Sometimes, unfortunately, we have to sacrifice realism for ease of use, or for practical reasons. After all, 3D is the illusion of reality, not an exact virtual copy of reality. But we will keep striving till we get it right. And as the saying goes, if at first you don't succeed, cheat. :-)**
