Description Okay, here is the next one.

Thank you! I don't know why, but this one was declined in 3d modeling club gallery; my other 3d modeling renders were added.

Interesting instrument! I've never seen anything like this before. I wonder how it sounds? Maybe a more metal sound when the strings are played? Beautiful work my friend and interesting as well!

I'm wondering, you live in AZ and did never hear this instrument?? Go to YouTube and search for Dobro. Sounds indeed metal but wonderful.
Thank you very much for the comment.

Your most welcome Simone! haha, no, I have never heard them. I live close to Phoenix and I bet you see them more in area's like Tucson. It's a bit more traditional out there versus here in the Valley. They sound awesome! I like that tinny sound. It's really cool looking as well. See, I learned something new! Yea!

Great job...

one texture error: the grain of the wood on the tops, necks and sided of almost all stringed instruments run parallel to the neck of the instrument. The only time you might not see it is on an electric guitar or if the top is a made of a "laminate' [plywood]...

Why? The strength of the wood runs parallel to the grain. Since the strings create tension on the wood along the same axis as the strings the wood must be able to withstand the tension... sides generally run along the same axis as the top and neck... but backs can be perpendicular because there is usually no stress or tension applied...

You are absolutely right! My fault, but my models are still imperfect.
I should spend more time to improve them, because I'm often impatient and want to complete them as quick as I can.

I apologize if I was too blunt... one of my flaws is I'm too honest...
