The inspiration for my flashlight was a spring. I like how it looks like the spring is being pressed down and it is about to pop up. 

The tools I used for my flashlight were "curveboolean" and "FilletEges".

The material used for my flashlight was steel. I wanted it to have an even clean look and it goes with my castle model.

My Castle was inspired by medieval times with a twist of modern. It is based off of cubes, cylinders and cones. I created four identical columns to give it the castle feel, as well as guard tower in the front. The main building has tunneling and you can enter the castle from any side and it is open to the public. There is no walls keeping anyone out.

I used a lot of the "Boolean Difference" tool , the "Extrude Curve" tool, the "fillet edge" tool and the "copy" tool, to create my castle. It is made up of basic shapes, such as cylinders, cubes, circles, ovals and cones.

The material I used was steel, because I wanted my castle to have a very sleek and durable look. I wanted it to have very intimidating but welcoming look. I like how the steel is a very reflective surface, creating some cool reflection in the inside of the castle.
