Just a thought....
In the advertising game we use the phrase "give it the overnight test". Meaning at the end of a hard day in the studio and tired eyes can't see the point of the piece of work in front of you, leave it and come back to it later or the next day.
This is equally appropriate to modelling.
Fresh eyes can see if the work looks as good as hoped or it needs some more fettling.
If it looks good in the morning...it is good.

I agree with you on this. I normally let a piece sit for a day or so then go back and take a fresh look at it. More often than not I'll find something I missed. It's also a good reason for posting pics on the web site, again fresh eyes often can see what tired eyes can't.

In another post you mentioned you wanted some snow. Come to the US, I'm in Ohio the temp was 9 degrees last night. I still can't feel my toes.

Oh lovely snow.
As the wife is Polish, I visit Warsaw often and I love the snow.
One time was a bit too much though. I got on the plane in Dubai...30C
9 hours later, I was greeted by minus 28C.
Man that WAS cold. I could hear my knees creak.
Cheers
Peter
