Thank you for the kind words! The red colour is the state before any actual colour is applied. I can certainly see how it look boring, sometimes it's also hard to picture the final look when you stare at those reds when modelling.
I was thinking about something steampunk, so yeah, time machine popped in mind hahah. Too nerdy? XD
Yeah yeah... It can be quite tricky figuring out what will work and what wouldn't but I guess you were able to beat that by coming up with this piece...
Well, not too nerdy. I actually like it, maybe I am too nerdy too? Lol
