It have many nicknames like Raksha and Tok Tok.
The project took me one month of free time to complete it.

Modeling
The whole project was modeled in 3ds max 2008.
Here you can find some of refrences i collected from many

Most parts of the project was modeled in standard box modeling.
I used simple boxes and cylinders covert them to editablepolys.
I used also modifieres like turbosmooth, bend, noise, sweep, lathe, shell and so on nothing special
I believe in the rule which says... (Beatiful is in details).

Textures was repaired in Photoshop with high res then duplicate texture to make bump, specular and opacity if needed.
