More mock-ups should be done like this. Renders are all well and good but there is no substitute for good old-fashioned physical models.

Also, this is why we still need shop class.

@OMG! Ponies!: Agreed. You just can't get all of the feel of the design just looking at a CGI rendering. In studio we did lots of models for vehicles and the sort that we had to craft ourselves. While I would've enjoyed doing 3D modeling, having your idea exist physically is far more satisfying.

Wow... too much free time or what.

Not to mention a kind of creepy attachment to a commercial product.

Kind of one step before tattooing an Apple logo on your arm.

Because.. you know... only Zune freaks do that...

Oh.. wait...

@TheWerewolf: Art projects are often very time consuming, and if an artist has lots of free time, what better way to spend that time than on more art projects.

Art is hard, criticism is easy.
