or you can break your model up into dif pieces where the dif shells are if that makes since
Nice work so far. I think the top part of the reel needs some development. I've never seen a reel cap like the one you modeled (with a hollow handle). I've seen tops more akin to the img above. Adding more beveled levels to the top and then a rounded spin handle would also be more interesting as far as specular highlights.
Point '1' doesn't look good, try to improve form of that curve. Rear part should be perfectly circular, now it looks like n-gon.
made a change to the cap. THoughts?
About the parts being separated. They are all separated, is there a specific part you're talking about?
Here's an update. I think i'm headed int he right direction. Hopefully any/all changes I have to do from this point on are purely textures/materials. I remodeled this a few times since I went silent. What are the thoughts here?
