mirek the panels are fine,once the scene is complete and lit properly they will show up ok and from a distance you only really need an indication anyway because the brain takes over.

btw, i got another nomination for sound design (film).., found out a few hours ago.., if you count the end of year uni.., thats three nominations, one win, one no win, and one yet to be decided.., there was 800 entries in this last one.., wow.., i thought.., 'probably 15 people entered' but the director told me 800. be great to win, but all the same, its a sort of proud moment.

mr, sprogg.., why do i get the feeling you have done this model before user added image

whoever it is doing the tut sounds a hell of a nice guy.

anyway.., i did this quick this morning.., have to pick my father up from hospital today and take care of him for a few days so i will be doing this on the laptop at his place.

It's coming along very nicely, although I would check the amount of curve on the diagonal wall archways, as it looks like they should curve in even more viewing it from what you have posted.
Oh btw yes I have made this a few times because i made the tutorial.
