Blessings go to Dave - I´m just the man with the plunger.

I'd just like to add my thanks for the tutorial! I'm very much a 3D newbie your tutorials are excellent (and Cheetah3D is the easiest package I've found).

I followed the tutorial once, then repeated it again without the video, to ensure I actually understand what I'm doing, not just mimicking you! In this one alone I learned how to do 'lathed' objects (ring cuts, ring & loop selects..), particle meshes and reflections. Not bad, thanks!

FWIW, my effort is below. Not sure why I'm posting it, it's just like all the others! The lighting seems a bit 'over exposed'? But I'm focusing on how to model different kinds of objects for now.

BTW, Chris, if you're still reading this thread, did you apply the silver material to the cylinder that forms the grip? It looks like you might have applied it to the boxes that form the mesh, but not the background.

Thanks! I'm glad you found it useful - your render looks good
