Cutaway Locks - show your artwork!

Ok people, lets keep this a "spam-free" thread.


This is one of my first cutaways, slightly different from the normal type, but does the same job.

Post your attempts, masterpieces and your failures!

@Snowboy - So very beautiful... I love your pictures of your cutaways. You should seriously write a book; just to show off the artistry and maybe a little "how-to" section for those who want to try it out for themselves. I know I would buy it! :D Great coffee table book...

Beautiful 3d work there 8) !
For the best book out there on high security locks and their operation, take a look at amazon.com for High-Security Mechanical Locks An Encyclopedic Reference. Written by our very own site member Greyman! A true 5 Star read!!

That is the best rendering of an MCS I have seen! Here is a challlenge (that you are likely already working on) - animate it.

Thank you for sharing!
