Like i said in the IRC channel. Love the presentation
. Make something like that for every prop you make, and you'll have a very nice collection of posters
The texture, well, it has been said above basically, although with 100 props next to it ingame i don't think anybody will realy notice.
There is one thing I noticed just now. I don't know how you modeled the pipe, but the vertexes of the last two intersections near the bottom look a bit dodgy. Splines are excelent for modeling stuff like this, dno if you used them here
