only one thing i'm not sure about - is how square the bottom left corner looks from the front. probably just me tho - i'm really loving the rest of the curves in the design and especially the asymmetry.

Tom, I'm glad people are appreciating it, I appreciate people taking the time to check it out and leave comments!
Chirone, I'm just happy that anyone's commenting on it at all!
But it is good to get a positive comment from the admin, and someone who works in the industry.
I am indeed honoured!
Arran, I agree about the bottom left corner being too squared off, but I'll be adding detail there soon so hopefully it'll sort that out a bit, I was trying my best to make it asymmetrical but still look right so I'm glad that seems to be working out!

No pressure or anything..lol!
I wasn't looking forward to the texturing but after what I've been looking into lately (UV mapping, displacements, bump etc) it's not seeming quite as bad as I'd first been thinking.
I'll do my best, that's the next step in my study regime after I've finished the modeling.Then I'll throw myself into it.
Which hopefully shouldn't be too far away!
Cheers for the kind words!

That would be madness if it wasn't, I do like fiddling around but that's just too much to do, micro poly-nation would send my pc in a daze!
I should have said, "been looking into displacement maps, and here's some of the results so far", would have been a bit clearer of me.... Sorry!
Thanks Tom,
I'll do my best to follow my modeling efforts with some half decent texturing, have to do some uber studying on it quick time!

This geometry would not open on my pc with 2GB ram i'm sure
, so my point is that a lot of details could be saved and presented by texture and normal map. I've been reading alot recently about normal maps , texturing etc... i'm not good at those but i'm studing them now... So if you are making model try to be less geometrical and save some details with texture work and normal map... or bump or displacement...KUTGW and wait to see more !!!

Doing my best! Texturing to come very soon, I promise!
Coldwave:
I can understand what you are saying, but to be honest I'm only at just over 300,000 quads, so it's not really that memory busting at all.
And I have been using displacement maps, all of the panels and fine detailing are done that way, so not a problem there either!
Thanks for your comments though, they are all appreciated!
