This is an impressive piece of work, Jim. The only thing "wrong" ith it is
the metal texture which looks too much like plastic, imho. It seems to be
the finish. Did you use specular or phong here? Looks like specular to me.
That is often what I prefer, but maybe phong would work better here (if I am
correct in my analysis! which is probably not the case). However, metal is
sooo difficult to get right!

Still, a mighty achievement!
