I hope you didnt do each single key seperately mate???!!!! bloody hell if you did LOL!! Nah it doesnt look too bad and there are so many different keyboards on the market...so it would be hard to tell which one it was really. Keep goin!

cheers bullet

Edit...having looked at my keys after typing..doh!! they are more bevelled around the top...a little

aaaahhhhh you use duplicate special with amount of copies??? ok..I usually make 1...copy once and move to position..then 'shift D' and make as many as I want by hand...same..same I suppose.

did you mean this crease??? go back to low poly...check no unmerged verts or anything silly. Sometime when I get this...I delte the faces 1 by 1 and either fill hole or append poly tool mate...could be something simple

cheers bullet

otherwise looks great man!!

looks ok from the distance.........bahahahaha

I find if something is difficult or not working...switch to another model completely or have a coffee break mate. Otherwise you tend to bog down in it,,so you are doing the right thing I see.
