Shell Oil Drum

Here's my latest prop that I'm looking for some C&C on. It's a Shell Oil Drum, coming in at 590 tris. I learnt a bit more about baking normal maps with this project so I am already happy about that. I really like the way this turned out. This was also my first time trying out a real 3-point lighting set-up, and I don't know if I succeeded but I thought it looked okay.

Put it in a game engine, Marmoset Toolbag is amazing and easy to use.

The paint could use more scratches, the red and yellow are a bit too saturated, could use some deeper small dents and the metal could use more dirt/noise. And the red stripe at the bottom (in the reference image) is lighter than the rest. The dirt doesn't look too great (looks too small?)

Looks pretty spot on though.

Looks cool! I think you could desaturate the main red/Yellow just a bit, also on the reference image there a splotches where the red is more saturated and less saturated than the base red. That could be a nice little detail to add.

Thanks for the crits guys! I added some more scratches in the paint, a little more grunge, desaturated the colors, a couple deeper dents, and shaved off 32 tris.
Here is the result:

Looks much better! The only thing I would add is some larger dents. A barrel that scratched up would have some pretty good dents. Other than that nice work!
