I haven't got time to download it but how many polys is it? Would be funny to have it on a game with like, a secret lab, and one scientist has secretly benn browsing RF forums.

244 triangles only

. That's a good idea, yeah

I suppose it has nice details but wow, 244 tris! I guess my thinking about it is different than yours, but I would have used like 60, or less, then bump mapped details like the buttons etc. There could be more details that I can't see of course.

I could probably do it with about 100 tris, though I'm too used to thinking in quads. IDK, i should donload it when I've got tim and see it better.

The first thing I saw that was bad was your planes are like this:
|\ /|
| \ / |
| \ / |
| \/ |
| /\ |
| / \ |
| / \ |
|/______\|

That's four tris. You can do it with two, like this:
|\ |
| \ |
| \ |
| \ |
| \ |
| \ |
| \ |
|_______\|

EDIT
Bah it doesnt store spaces.
Here's how you do yours, with four tris:

This way uses only two tris.
