When I hold the thing in my hand, I can definitely see the grain, but of course I know where to look. If I set it on the desk about 3 feet away, as it will be on the layout, it looks pretty good. As modelers, we all have to make decisions on how much we will compromise, and where we will trade speed for fidleity to the prototype - what is "good enough" so to speak. Like I said before, it is interesting to compare styles. Your dumpsters are quite an example of modeling skill and I hope that skill rubs off on me just a bit.
