Look development exercise - old fishing boat

I decided to write some of my experiences here. I hope you guys like it.

During my Look development (Light, Texture and Rendering) classes at Faculdade Méliès (Moema - São Paulo), in some look development lessons, i used this model of an old fishing boat to exemplify the realistic textuzation process. In the stage bellow i created a infinite background and defined the lighting process, using neutral basic light's, necessary to texturing.

Model used in this study cg downloads (I couldn't find the main Artist modeler)

I built the references panel, demonstrated the importance of defining references for visual evolution as a guide to achieve specific goals. In this case, my goal was to create a visual development of an older boat, heavily used, worn and with a lot of history on its surfaces. So I collected these references below. I also opened the uv's and used multiple uvsets (UV UDIM/UV TILE) and prepared the model for the texturing process.
