Balance... model and render it

[Grafixman]

Sorry for the absence, work is tipping the balance in my schedule.
Here's one from me, not THE idea I was thinking of, but something simple to serve as a warm-up exercise. Wings for the basic modeling and Blender for fine tuning the mesh and rendering.
Ever tried doing something like this with real nails? I did, but all the nails I could find were bent and of various sizes, so no luck here...
