very nice, i like touch of dirt map on the flag, gl author

That's amazing, looks very realistic.

Very nice! Wood tones and shiny parts look good. Very cool that you also made the flag, the grunge is a nice contrast.

Some good modelling. The light on the white parts though do seem a little too bright.

Modeling is great. What did you use for lighting?

This is a fantastic model! Great work!

very very cool work author...gl

I'm in awe of the work here, the complexity, especially steps 3 and 5, is amazing! Just a little nitpick, I'd add more depth of color on the large white area with the knobs, but other than that, it's fantastic. Yes, you should do the triptych idea, you've done work that does not show in this image. Print it out large and frame it for your brother.

Nice work, a result where you can be proud of. Good luck!

Congrats for 2nd, fab

Thanks for the comments guys.
Great idea Pearlie, I'll definitely try and finish off the other render angles and see how it goes.

congrats...
