Bernhard, those details are magic to me 
I would like to use your model to raise an issue. The wooden blocks you use are made from real wood. To me is real wood is not the best choice to model 1:87 wood. It always looks like 1:1 scale wood (cut in tiny pieces) even if an expert like you uses it. I did see some very fine 1:87 wood made from scratched and weathered styrene. This http://www.pacificcoastairlinerr.com/decks/ is an example of On30 styrene wood that looks to me better than real wood. This is a bad example for new wood as used on your model but it might demonstrate my point.
I thought your extreme fine detailed models may be the right place to raise such a nit picking point of view.
