Great job! This is your best work yet. Keep up the work, it'd be a shame if you didnt.

thecrownles · 16th Dec 2008, 09:10

As usual, you are an inspiration to modders and artists everywhere. Great idea drawing the design of that case from architecture.

Pookeyhead · 16th Dec 2008, 09:19

Stunning! Simply stunning. Fabulously designed, flawlessly contructed. I want one!

Rexxie · 16th Dec 2008, 09:21

Wow. Just wow. Absolutely awesome.

sweet, and it kinda reminds me of the citadel in Half-Life 2, in a good way ^^

As always, very inspiring work. The end result is beautiful, you should be very proud of your work. Can't wait for your next piece.

Looks good, but I hope you ebony (or maybe african blackwood) came from a sustainable source, as it's becoming an endagered species at the rate it's being harvested.
