I create my nail cutter in my free time. Sometimes I'm making models from things i have around me in my room :)
I was being facetious Gamble... the nail clipper could be textured to look less CG.
how can you texture this? :D http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/228/pic1326.jpg/ It's just material needed, maybe some scratches ;-)
Nice reference shot for your model! Right off the bat I'd say all the edges of your model are too crisp. And the textures, there has to be tons of tutorials on normal mapping etc on youtube and elsewhere.
You should maybe model in some nail crud :)
