Sketchfab 3D Modelling Challenge: Hand Tools & Hardware

This week’s 3D modelling challenge is focused on hard surface modelling, in particular tools, hardware and all the things you might find in a toolbag, garden shed or hardware store.

Have a go at creating anything from simple hammers, wrenches and screwdrivers all the way to power tools, multi-layer tool boxes, compressors & welders (…and no: guns, bazookas, tanks, bombs etc. don’t count as tools!)

Update! The Winner is G.E.C.K 2018 by goldengrifon
