Hey, Mason. I'm sorry I missed this the first few cycles through.

This is looking good! I don't know about the finish, though. The X1 at the Smithsonian is an off red, or dark orange maybe. But, as far as shiney metal goes it's workable. The problem is in the environment it's rendered in. I usually use a back background, as you have, but like a wall, and the surrounding area would be an inverted sphere (hollow) with a desert and sky texture applied to the interior.
Tomorrow I will look into my model collection for you.
Are you sure 3DS is the best format for you? See if you can use the .cob format, or there may be one even more efficient.
