Oh wow, I envy you greatly.  I have some old typewriters and this looks pretty
good to me.  I couldn't help notice the space bar missing it's hinged levers.
Even a poor condition typewriter I have here isn't rusty like this rendered one.
It looks in bad shape if it weren't for the like-new parts  :-)
I can only hope I will be inspired to try making one too.  I'm sure that wasn't
easy to CSG together in POV-Ray (or any other modeler/renderer).
