I agree with Philo that the shadows are distracting. I don’t think the stud logos are necessary, either.

On the other hand, I think the transparent parts in the first rendering look a little too dark.

There’s also a grainy texture under some of the transparent parts. For example, the interior of the cone on the antenna.

Problems I’ve noticed with my rendering:
  1. edge tracing quirks - see the note on the image
  2. no edges under canopy - that windscreen has given me a lot of rendering grief
As noted here, I’ve used some of your tools and tips, Travis.
