Inspired by Chipps textures on his german energy device, and the fact that I've never really tried texturing before, I thought I'd have a go.  The "thing" is modelled by me in Hex (my modelling sucks too but I'm working on it) and textured by yrs truly in Photoshop using the tutorial by Stonemason on CGSociety - It's a bit addictive this texturing lark :)
