It's very good for a first project!

Whilst others have commented about the geometry and textures, I'd just 
comment about the lighting.

The default POV light does not fade with distance (ie it lights everything 
the same amount no matter how far away from the light it is) - this is not 
very realistic.

Try adding the "fade_distance" and "fade_power" keywords to your lights 
(look them up in the docs), you will need to adjust the light brightness to 
get a good balance of light and dark areas in your scene, but it should make 
it look a lot more realistic.
