your poligonal skills are very good, you can use it to modeling this guy. For the (cord-wire-string) the best way is to use nurbs modeling, with a simple line and xtrusion... ;)

Wow, that's really good polygon modelling there. I mainly use Nurbs and Subd's, especially for something like that.

So did you use alot of meshsmooth? I never seem to have good results with maya's poly smoothing, it always seems to give me jagged corners or bad artifacting. I've gotten to where I just pretty much stay away from it. But that is nice. How many poly's?
