Description

I had to resort to Illustrator to make the design of the face, and some G2H maps in PhotoShop. Then, I raced to assemble the theodolite. Somewhere in the middle, I modified the texture to make a better corroded brass. Since it's shiny, I made a quick "room" for it to "reflect upon", so to speak. -*- Thanks for calibrating your eyeballs. Tomorrow I have an Orrery!

If there was a rating higher than Excellent, I'd be marking it down. The detail on the device is so realistic, it's unbelievable. Very impressive!!

Nice work. But ground and walls lacks of bump. Shadows are applied on wall just like it was 2D plans.

I never heard of a "theodolite". Is that something you made up, or is that what this instrument is? I'm especially curious because Theodore is my first name.
