If Pete did it, it is always awesome....!
Pete,
Please don't lose interest, or feel unappreciated. Those of you who create are the the catalyst for everything you see in the screen shot forums.... you and man, many other talented people give us variety! Its not easy creating the models that you and the others do....I know I've tried and ....well they aren't to a proper standard. Hang in there.....and thanks for everything you.ve done to date and what may come in the future!

Ok, Here is my plan.
I will try finish it.
I will attempt to do 2 versions... one version is *as seen* with modeled ribs.
Another version will LACK the ribs and rely on FLAT mapping to *imply* ribs for the PHOTO texture folks.
I would supply ALL source material, All BITMAPS as well as mesh (in Blender 2.8+ format)
That way, if any mods need to be made... you have the ability to fix it.

Just Blender now, 3DCrafter only when I have to.
