I started this flashlight from the idea of create something futuristic and clean. After experiment the command F10 to edit the control points and also use curves to create pipes, I realized that I could draw something that looks like veins and arteries. From that concept, I did the red details and the bracket.

To create the flashlight's body, I mainly used commands such as F10 to edit the control points, revolve to create the solid, mirror, and project to project curves into the solid to create the superficial details that compose the grip area. To construct the bracket, I created a curve using interpolate points and made a pipe from it. After, I used Scale 3-D and Array Polar to create the additional details.

For the materials, first I chose a soft grey plastic for the body to be light and keep the idea of futuristic and clean. Also, to create a good color contrast and to give a brightness effect the red acessories are metallic.
