Yeah, 'course they're renders - surely someone recognizes that deep metallic red from the standard Bryce material presets!

Actually, I dread to think how long it would take to model that thing. Still, there was a guy modelled his Suzuki Hyabusa (down to nus'n'bolts) on another forum somewhere - it was incredible modelling/rendering. Can't remember who/where it was though.
