Grandfather Clock (WIP)

[haunter]

The other day I had the odd urge to create a grandfather clock, so I did.

I've tried animating the pendulum, but I haven't had as much success as I would like. I've tried many different ways of animating it, and so far this one looks the least intrusive.

The colours were just temporary so I could get an better idea of the shape of the clock but now I'm thinking of using them... I like the hint of red on the outside of the body... I obviously haven't really started shading yet, but if anybody has any comments or suggestions on the colours I'd be happy to hear them. Same goes with the animation. If anybody knows a better way of animating such a small pedulum without making it look funky and jaggedy please let me know.

I've attached two images. One with the image at 100%, and one with 700% zoom so you can have a closer look if you like... not that there's much detail to look at so far though. :P
