One armed bandit

Coppero

I've decided to model this one armed bandit (I took some photos after I found it in a barn restaurant on the isle of wight) to add to my portfolio, I particularly love the brushed rose gold colour so thought it would be a fun project! Here's the reference and where I'm at so far.

ah i know someone from the isle of wight! rock on!

looking cool - great asset choice. How do you plan on texturing this?

That's a super cool-looking reference, I'm excited to see where this goes!

I know you're only in the beginning stages of modeling, but watch your proportions and edges - for example, on the main "screen" (with "jackpot"), the bevel shapes look a little small when compared with the reference.

Thanks, that kind of feedback is really helpful, it's so easy to miss things like that so it's much appreciated!
I'll be texturing in Substance Painter

Hey looking good so far! One thing that I noticed was that the left side looked kind of weird to me. It looks like someone lit off a firework on it or something. Maybe add some more subtle details, as if other machines/things were scraping against it? Also, I like the detail on the right, next to the lever, maybe add that to the left because don't people usually grip the opposite side when pulling the lever?

Maybe also add some stains that look like someone spilled a drink on it. Maybe even a discarded cigarette?

Just some thoughts keep at it!

I like it overall. Would fit well in a casino or bus stop or something. Just vs the reference it doesn't look as old / broken down. But maybe you weren't going for that.

A small note on the materials that could help. In the reference is looks to be metal that has been painted were as in your final images the materials feel like metal (copper) being worn away from a steel under body. Your materials look good in your final shots but setting up your "paints" to be less metallic and getting some of those exposed layers of base coat as well could really take this to the next level.

Great work overall though.Cheers!
