Steampunk Mobile Phone

Its been a while since I posted anything so I thought I'd let you have what is (in my opinion) my best work... so may i present 'The Pocket Æther Perambulator'
Finally complete after over 6 months of work. This is a combination of several large renders so download from here http://technohippy.deviantart.com/art/The-Pocket-Aether-Perambulator-200835080 is totally recommended to get all the detail. I would like to note that there are some artifacts which have been left as an indication that this is a mere 3d model. (a gentleman's bowtie is never perfect!!)
The dimensions for this are based on my trusty Nokia N95, It opens much like a netbook and boasts the following features.
*Fob ring - for attaching to a gentlemans pocket chain
*External Chronograph - with visible mechanism
*External Camera Obscura - for capturing magical images which might take ones fancy
*Internal Camera Obscura - for presenting images of your own visage whilst communing over the Ætheric web
*Miniaturised QWERTY typewriter - to aid in the preparation of Aether-grams
*Ætheric plasma picture frame - for viewing the Ætheric web
*Internal magnetic resonance speaker/microphone
*Dedicated buttons for accessing the Ætheric web
*Exquisite external engraving and name plate bearing the following information 'The Pocket Æther Perambulator - enabling communion across Ætheric space. As presented by Prof. A. J. G. Wellsby'Go here http://technohippy.deviantart.com/gallery/28850359 for the steampunk mobile phone gallery to see other images from this model.

The constituent renders

s***! I thought these where photographs!
I take my hat off to you Sir! May we trouble you for some raw sketchup views?

Wow it always amazes me how such a simple model can be textured and rendered so well. I still have much to learn as far as materials and lighting set ups go! Keep it up.
-
Many thanks, i have sooo many test renders its unbelievable, and a whole library of different silver materials i made in kt to get the scratches just right
here's a clay and a depth
-
Amazing, as Liam said I also thought they were photographs
-
Great stuff, shows the power of a good mapping and solid technique.
-
Fooled me too, great work.
-
Very cool rendering!
Except for the rule on this view seems flat without shadows
-
Very cool.
Finally, buttons suitable for my fat fingers to use for SMS.
Too bad it's only a render (a very good one!)
-
What else can I say? This is eye candy! Great concept, nice modelling, and excellent renders. IMO, the render with the ruler looks the most photo-realistic. It looks too imperfect for a render.
Looking forward to seeing your next project. Hmmm. I know I've seen this somewhere before.
Perhaps the Kerkythea forums a few months back? -

thanks for your comments, my goal is realism, not perfection.

Such a wonderful piece of work.
And seriously valuable, if you could get it produced, perhaps with a larger screen, you would make millions.
I would buy one on the spot. -
Is there any way you could share some tips to get that nice, buffed (but not too shiny) soft silver look with the wear scratches? It's very nice.

ammmazing... really amazing , and good knowledge of KT materials (and render settings).
