Thanks guys... glad you like it so far.

Matt... not heard of that method before. Any chance you have a link to, or can point me to, an SBS of that process and maybe some results?

Welcome to the insanity Zare. Use whatever you like. 90% I've picked up in place like this myself. Do you have a ref pic of a captured Panther you are doing? Love to see it. Or is it going to be more of a what if? Either way that will look cool.

Thanks for the info on that weathering technique. I will do some playing around wot that one day and see how it works.

The Ook wire I used is the 30 lb weight product # 50173. They also make a twisted wire that does not have the plastic sheath. This however has the same issue as other brands of wire I've tried and when twisting my own. If just one wire is a little loose or out of position it shows up as bumps and distortions when you tighten the twists to make a tow cable. They end up looking worse than the Organdy cables. With the stuff in # 50173 the wire is very evenly twisted and stays that way when tightened.

With regards to weather and white wash... I've learned something... the hard way. I am doing the WW with hairspray. I put the white coat over the dry hairspray before i went to dinner at moms last night so it would be ready for when I got home. (insert loud buzzer sound here) WRONG! It is incredibly hard to get off. While that may be OK for some application it's not for what i was going for. I am going forward and see how it goes before I resort to a Windex strip and repaint.
