Well, I am interested, but I am not much of a modeler (and that's the understatemnt of the year right here). therefore I am not sure I could contribute anything worthy.

But I think the project could be fun. And I like Mark's idea of Sherlock Holmes' study. I think it could be useful for a lot of people. I could easily put together a basement corner using models already available for free here, at DAZ, ShareCG and places like Turbosquid. It would be much harder to scape together a Sherlock Holmes' study using available free models.

And I could add another twist to it :). How about a lighting challenge using the end result? :)
