I hope Mike won't mind, but there's no simplystudiotools forum, so I was hoping I could continue this thread here. Anyway, here's my curent work in progress. It's my first work with studio tools, and I've got to say I just LOVE that software!!! For a modeler who works mostly with NURB's, studio tools is simply amazing. It's pretty complicated to start to learn, but there's a lot in common with Maya, so the learning curve is not too bad. I'm really starting to try to make the shift towards my own design/product visualization work, so I'm gonna make this one accurate for a portfolio.

This is about 4 hours work so far, and it's nowhere near finished. I spent a lot of time in photoshop getting the textures right for the face and dial, so the actual modeling is about an hour. Studio tools rock!!

Here's two test renders with slightly different material/lighting settings:
