Ok so here is what I have for the stove so far. Anyone see anything that it needs? Or do you think it is fine how it is?

It's fine to me.

I'm with cgrein, except one thing
The holes for the gas to come out...

Not really sure how big the holes need to be so it's just a rough drawing

Hmmm, my stove(the one that I modelled this after) doesn't have holes that are visible. They are under the black disks. Should I model some anyway? I'm not really that worried about it as not much of the stove will be in the picture.

nice progress!

Thanks Mike.

nope don't worry about it.

I wouldn't worry about it too much - if anything you could always fake it later by putting little black disks over your model if it looks wrong when you come to render but with competitions like this when you have a time limit, its best to do as much as possible then worry about the tiny details later.

Ha ha - some great ideas colto - well done for thoroughly thinking it through and coming up with a number of alternatives. This should be a great project - looking forward to seeing it develop.
