Heres something I made for a new scene but its just the microscope
for now......
Modeled after something that my father used when he studied medicine
65 years ago. and he gave it to me when I was 8 years old....:)
Very nice memory of him since he´s passed away so many years ago...
Just felt like modeling it... |

but you did the glass very well. Glass and water are two shaders we all have problems with. :D |

I also got one, this was almost eight or nine years ago now, third or fourth grade I believe.
Mine came in a box very similar only it was made of a stiff leather, possibly cardboard covered with leather.
When you turned the mirror over on mine there was this little light and the AA batteries sat in the base.
Nice work, and the glass looks excellent too. :D |
