Hola,

This is part of a lab bench scene that I've been working on.
I'm rather pleased with the way it turned out so I thought I'd post it.

Later Jim

funny, just last night I was sitting on a stool in my kitchen watching my
tea kettle warm up. I was mostly watching the gas fire from the stove top.
The whole time it was warming, I was thinking of how to model it. Pov sure
makes you look at things differently.

Nice job on your gas pipes. The roundness of everything is very realistic.
It's begging to be placed in the entire chem lab scene. Post the final scene
when you have it :)

Hi Jim,
Pretty but...
It's clear you're not very familiar with issues of lab safety or equipment 
design.
Gas Taps with wimpy stopcocks just don't cut it. Those unsupported fiddly 
things would snap in a day and the lab would go up in smake!
Take a reality check and google gas-tap.

Levers are clearly on or off and often yellow.

e.g.

http://www.saburchill.com/lab/intro/bunsen.html

Go well...
And don't blow yourself up!

DLM

ahhh .... thanks for the links .... the busen burner is next so that will be 
helpful

i'm sticking with my design on the gas tap .... hey at least they are shown 
in the off position.
i'll just make sure my insurance is up to date and hope we have no lab 
accidents

Ciao

My memories go back some too ... I know what it is to dip a pen in ink!

If you want museum pieces the Science & Society picture library is a great 
reference. e.g.
http://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/results.asp?X9=Chemical%20Laboratories,%20Apparatus,%201850-1949
It really comes down to whether the desired look and feel is modern/ 
antique/ period/ surreal...
