Thanks for the reff arran! That gives me some ideas. I visited that link you posted before I entered this challenge; very nice stuff. I want to stay as close to my refference pic as much as possible, but will have a steampunk flavor to it. This is a pin-up after all, and I don't want to loose the sex appeal to it.

Right know I'm workig hard on the materials ( almost finnished though ). If they are not done right the detail will not show up very well. I will have modeling WIP's posted here very soon, as we only have a month on the modeling.

EDIT: I am still very aware that we are not allowed texture at this stage of the competition, not even for fun. So the materials will not be shown until the second part of the contest if we are still allowed to.
