Thanks for the thumbs up, Binder :)

2h 20min into it. Just using basic colour shaders to differentiate all objects. Currently at 26000 quads. :scream: Spare no expence. :D I could have used a texture for this, but hey it's a modeling contest right?

Comments and constructive critique are welcome.

Looking good so far! :thumbsup:
And yes, modeling all that details is the way to go in this competition. That's what I'm doing with my model too. Otherwise, the Big Ben is just a cube with some fancy textures.
Keep posting, I'll keep checking.
One crit: I think the little ornaments that are just outside (over or under) the numerals are too small.

thanks zzzrByte! You're right about the ornaments. I need to adjust that.

Where did you get that reference image? It looks great. Any chance of a link?:)

Well, I'll try to get some hours in on the model this week. Might be hard though.

Hmm, I can't seem to find where those images came from (one of the pages for "big ben face" on Google Images)...

But I uploaded them to my server for you, so grab 'em while you can:
