How do I recreate the plastic used for ipods?

[Bowser]

I'm modelling my ipod and I can't get the white plastic right as I'm really new to max and even more to vray. I am using max 7 & vray 1.46.08. Can anyone give me some tips on how to recreate this material? And if there are any tutorials to help create materials in vray that would be very helpful too.

I hope you can help.

can you be more specific? show some pics of what youve got so far or something? Since we have no idea how your going about trying to create it, its pretty hard to tell you what you might be doing wrong.

Here are my settings -

Hey dude,looking good... LCD screen likewise. Visually it appears that you got it to me. Just HDRI now? Test it out with some other light types and you may find that the you will want to change the ward shader to Blinn and use a lower value for Refl. glossiness in the base material. Just a guess but I would have to see it in a diff light.

Dellis - Got the name from my first dog. I've never heard of Sha na na, but we probably didn't have it here in UK!
