Fireplace front
cumesoftware:
Now the left and right pillars are 100% complete, and the respective columns have bases and capitals. The left and right pillars are separated meshes.
Below you can see the wireframe:
And the rendered image:

anyways, your dedication to your modelling work is quite impressive, i'm sure i wouldn't have the patience to build something like that!

Thanks once more. I didn't used the lathe tool, due to my inability to convert a linear mesh to a path. I suggested that function to Steve, though. It was made using a copy/paste/rotate pattern.
hihosilver:
You can't put a mesh on a path, but you can extrude a spline on a path.
But it does look like the lathed the base of the column (not the twisted part) around an axis.

I've made the base fire guards. They are pretty basic when compared to the posts (columns), but I think they only need to be decorated on the outside. Here are the pics:
The wireframe with faces:
The rendered model:
Still to do is the sill (should be easy), the lintel (heavily decorated) and the supporting brackets (heavily decorated too). The final model will have a total of 8 meshes.

looks cool - just wondering though, what's the little block on the inside of the bottom corners do?

They are merely structural. I thought they would provide structural strength by distributing the downward force from the post to the sill. They also are a bit of decorative and provide a small protection from the fire.
