Looking good so far dave. My only suggestion / request would be please render with a background color other the black.
All I can assume is that everyone but me keeps their gamma set really high because I cannot see any detail in black background renders.
I have to save the images, then open them in photoshop, then crank the bejesus out of the gamma to see any detail.
For surface details, renders with a light grey material, against a medium grey environment background, on top of a medium grey stage works well. AO renders are best.
