i think things like this look more cg because they have perfect edges. you could try pulling a vert or two out of alignment.
its real nice for 2 hours work tho.

Trust me nothing is perfect if you look closely you will see imperfections even in plastic.
Your model could alos use an ambient occlusion pass because as of now it has that floating look.
A neat trick is lighting the scene with a spotlight and under the mental ray tab of the attr editor select area light this will create nice and soft shadows(no more softboxes)

This is just a basic maya render im not 100% sure how to use ambient occlusion. I found a tutorial on how to make a render using it but now what do i do with it?! ive tried using photoshop to incorperate it but i dont really see much difference.
Again any help much appreciated.
Here is what i came up with...
Seems only minor difference for the better - again im not 100% sure what im supposed to be doing

The mental ray area light is basically sort of a softbox you don't see much difference in this scene but i have used it quite a lot it gives softer shadows without upping shadow rays to much
Good luck
