It has a bit more detailing to go so it's mot 100% done but 90+. I would have posted more in progress shots but I knocked it out to quickly. I save a lot of intermediate files, so when time permits I will go back and grab some shots.
The greatest challenge for me was those coils of cable at the base. In the end I came up with a way to duplicate them perfectly. I started with two nurbs circles (one vertical and one at a diagonal) and then split the circles at the top and bottom and then attached one end of the vertical half loop to the adjacent diagonal one creating a custom helix that perfectly matched the holes. Then I just extruded a nurbs circle along the path.
