Very nice indeed. Textures and wallpaper are very realistic. Could you 
make the clock tick? Moving the pendulum just a tiny bit (or some more) 
away from the vertical would do the trick.

Not sure that I have the skills to do that, everything is a mess (mesh) of
triangles. ;)

Very nice. Model and materials are well done.

Thanks Mike, I "borrowed" the wallpaper texture from your Tonka Truck scene.
I'm not sure if it jogged anyones grey matter!

Hi Colin,

Nice render! It's very clean and, overall, has appealing materials.

However (maybe it's just me), the wallpaper map seems a bit squished on the
vertical.

Hmm, depends. As you converted the 3DS file with Poseray, maybe you can 
use Poseray's 'Groups' commands, first identifying the Pendulum material 
in the 'Materials' section. Poseray has unexpected possibilities indeed ;-)

I just needed to prove to myself that what I suggested was indeed 
feasible... ;-)

Everything done within Poveray, in particular:
- subdividing the pendulum weight to get rid of the coarse facets
- properly identifying all the Groups and Materials and renaming them 
comprehensibly
- Merging the different Pendulum elements, then slightly rotating and 
translating the merged object.
- exporting as OBJ to keep a work-copy of the clock
- exporting to POV-Ray

Nothing fancy in terms of scene building here.

Within /Poseray/ obviously....

That's going way to deep for my needs, but very nice!

Of course. You know how it goes: you suggest something and then you 
remain obsessed with what you have suggested until you have gone over 
every word and action until satisfaction... :-)

(And it is an opportunity to refresh/dust-off my knowledge once in a 
while...)
