Any comments please.
This is my attempt at a belgium telecom system phone circa 1930
the handset braided cord I,m going to attempt at with UV,s, And
thats the operative word attempt.
Never used them before so please any help on modeling the
braided flex much appreciated.
One other thing that really is getting to me, I,ve done the strat
model by Philip so I,m using a similar surface for the chrome
but how with the help of say gradients do I tone down the reflection.
Thankyou for any assistance. Ribbons
