The lamp seems too bright to me (so far I can remember how those banker  
lamps glow). After a quick search on the web, I found this example but the  
global lighting is different. Hope this helps.

Here is an update on this one, trying to address some of the
suggestions/criticism: as always you all did a good job, thanks!

On the last one I changed the format to portrait, but I cannot decide which
approach one I like most... will surely stop there and just go onto
something else, as usual.

   Yes, that would have been very dramatic if I was able to model the
spectacles easily... I did a quick try with Wings3D, but quickly gave up.
Thanks anyhow, it was a nice suggestion... in a whimsical vein. :)

   Thanks, very nice pipes... but I finally did a simple classic one and a
simple ashtray, with a matches box to complete the "smoking set".

   Oops... you're right! In fact, the whole scene is mirrored because the
camera is the one exported from Chief Architect. But then I noticed that I
did a mistake when I modeled the typewriter years ago: the carriage return
is on the wrong side! ...so I just mirrored the brand name. ;)

On old typewriters, the carriage return was often on the left.

That said, nice picture! :-)

Beautiful job!

Oh I can.  The first version without a doubt.  I know why you are 
tempted by the second and I can tell you it is because your brain is 
getting in the way.  Too much there.  We don;t need that much to 'get' it.

'often'?! I would say 'always', as you have to push the carriage from the 
end of the line (right side) to the start of a new line (left side) - at 
least in western languages  :-)

Now, it is true that the truly ancient typewriters had quixotic ways of 
functioning, but at the time of the pictured one, I believe all carriage 
returns were left-handed.

Gosh!

Looks awesome. Though I don't like the wallpaper in the second shot...

On mechanical typewriters it *MUST* be on the left for the standard LTR writing
direction...
