Judges quote:

Nicely done. The detail is grand. Wood materials look great. Really like the tuning pegs and strings, although the strings aren’t in the Tsplines model. Some of the deep black flat surfaces seemed to lose depth in some renderings – maybe compensate with more movement in the reflective background.
