Photoshop contest - precision scale

Lots of warping and transforming.
Rebuilt the top of the scale with the base section to more closely resemble actual crossbow. Used the base to add carbon fiber "feel" it.

Built the bolt from the stem of the scale and recolored.

Non-functional, for viewing enjoyment only :-)

Amazing, waiting for you sbs. But i never expected something like this in a beginner contest. Great job author. Great work. One suggestion, the side both have the shadows on the inside maybe the tower will also need a shadow coming to the viewer.

really, really, good. The better news here is that you will be out the "beginner" class very soon, and give the rest of us a chance! Very well constructed, author.

Thanks for comments guys *) 2ronald - well, at my point of view, the tower shadow is coming down much farther from camera, its out of horizont or down there right beneath it, shadows usually losts away from objects.

GREAT JOB ! I think to make the 10 step guide is already a price, Its a complete tutorial ! The only thing I would remove are the birds, but that is my opinion..

The title says it all. Most of the images were pulled from personal source photos and PhotoObjects. Thanks to Autonoe from Deviant Art for some imagery as well.
