Really wanted to do something cool but what started with a nice idea ended with 1028 layers, photoshop continuosly crashing and even zooming took something like 20-30 secs...
Any suggestions to prevent this from happening again (apart from reducing the number of layers in use)
I know there are several mistakes but thought to post the work here up to were it arrived.
It's like 98% brushed cause only reflections and lower part of the side skirt is c&p
