If you want to add more detail then go into Z, its also bloody good for texturing too (i'm almost getting to the point that unless its a real easy texturing Job in PS i'll do the main work in Z with a tweek in PS)

You can make bumps, normals, specs, colours, disps all in Z, obviously depending on how you use it and you brain so to speak.

to me - it looks like you've rotated it the wrong way - they should rotate outwards, just a few degrees.
