IMAGE DESCRIPTION: 


An old gramophone built from reference photographs.
I chose this because of the modeling challenge.
 

DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS IMAGE WAS CREATED: 

 
The most difficult part of a gramophone like this is the funnel (horn). After
CSG tries and building from 
scratch I suddenly realized that the easiest way is to build it from a circle
with 20 points and raise 
every second point. That was the basic shape. After that I put additional points
to simulate the rim.
This shape was copied, minimized and deformed closer to a ring for the end
point.
Another difficult part was the wooden base, which was CSG-Built by using a lot
of boolean operations.
The primary aim was that the gramophone looks as real as possible.
Hope you like the result...
