Hi Dustin,

Great modelling! Really awesome!

For my curiosity, which modeller (if any) did you use?

For the texture effect you want to achieve, I am not an expert but (if you
have not tried yet) I would advise to use a standard POV layered texture,
with a reflective lower layer texture and a partially transparent upper
layer texture. On this principle, it works, but I have not tried to make
something realistic with it. Sorry I can't help you more...

Xavier
