I'm pretty much done modeling now. I have attached an image.

Now it's time to do a lot of texturing work

Remember you have two months for this - ample time for something maybe a little more ambitious.

Good start though.

I'll probably find something else. I want to finish this one though to make sure I have something sufficiantly realistic done on time. I just don't have a lot of free time to work on this.

Here is what I have so far. I've done some tweaks on the modeling and did some texturing on the casing.

Looking good so far - the modelling seems solid.

I'm considering this as my final image. What do you think?

Don't zippos normally have "zippo" written on the bottom? It might be a nice detail to add if they do as it would break the all over texture.

(Sorry for the lack of crits, been stupid busy recently)
