Great stuff as always pfunked - mirrors the concept very well too.
PS: I don't really know much about this stuff, but wouldn't the texture memory needed for a 1024x1024 normal map be a harder performance hit than an extra 625 polygons?
The large normal map would be a memory hit for sure, but I don't know about performance hit. I only included the large version in case someone wanted to hand-edit it or create another size.
750 polygons felt like "splurging" to me, but that's probably an okay poly count for current gen games. I didn't unwrap that higher poly one; if someone needs it unwrapped let me know.
Very good model! Amazingly low polycount and still looks like million €!
