Thanks! I've begun using references more often--which usually results in
more detailed models.

I used Anton Raves' chrome texture. I know it's a bit too reflective,
but I was feeling kind of lazy...
It's hard to check how reflective chrome parts really are--especially in
a uniformly colored environment, which I can't find IRL :/

Didn't even cross my mind. How much would that do to make the
reflections more lifelike?

Criticism is always welcome. How else would I ever get any better?

| (...) It's hard to say, but with a sky sphere, you will get reflections of a sky rather than a uniform colour in the chrome pieces. It might look better. Fredrik (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)

| Bram, Very nice work (as usual)! (...) Do you use Anton's parts library as well? I ask because of the smoothness of the minifigs' head...much smoother than the ones I've rendered using stock L3P output. Will Lego Beach Department of Emergency (...) (25 years ago, 2-Apr-00, to lugnet.cad.ray)
