Very realistic..!! Very nice!!
stop kidding me .. that's a picture, right?
Using Cycles myself, I`m not astonished by the render. I do more complicated scenes though, and using only CPU it takes quite some time to get a noiseless scnene.
yeah, you are my hero...
Render like this took one or two minutes, but you are right - bouncing light that has to come throw small window into interior takes time, but I don't know any faster CPU renderer that can do better job in this (like) realistic way (cycles is not going to be precisely physically based renderer). But I have to admit I have no too much experiences with other engines.
i had a toy like this in my childhood (Mecano :) )
very good memories
Stunning! That 'damaged' version looks very realistic indeed!
I can't wait for the official 2.61 Cycles release, since that's when I'll start using it!
I'm w/ Marc on this. Perhaps it should read, "An amazing photographer photographs a toy helicoper."? :-) Kidding aside...very nice renderings! Hope to see more of your work!
I was so in love of that model, I've made and little animation with it.

Tnx to the author of the model.
Thanks for notification.
I had also plans to animate model . . . so maybe one day :)
And how not to be excited about Cycles? I still cant believe this quality renders are coming from very unfinished renderer. Mad skills - both who did render of a helicopter and who is programming that renderer.
Thanks for comments :)
Guys go to render, it's "amazingly" easy to work with. Setups for materials like these are really for beginners.
All the glory goes to Brecht's Cycles.
its AWESOME! realistic rendering using cycles
That does look real! :O
