Hmm. Was starring at daves pic and was thinking a guy could take some small gauge cold rolled steel, some needlenose pliers, and a pencil torch and make a few in a couple minutes yeah?

Faux painting is a true art. I speak from experience as my Mrs. does this and veneer work. However, you CAN make a decent example on your own. Check out woodgraining.com. Research your grains first though. As each requires a different method. Also it would be good to know the burl of the original. Owen may be an expert there.
My suggestion would be to first practice extensively on a piece of curved sheetmetal that's been primed accordingly.

I don't know anything about wood-graining but I do know that it's great to see a younger guy tackling this kind of project. I'm sure a lot of folks around here would love to see this project unfold and cheer your son's progress in the project forum (hint, hint!).

Kev, the export models may have had lower compression ratios for the generally poorer grades of gasoline abroad, but a Super Clipper was still a Super Clipper.
