Good Job.

well actually that is high but you can set exact number of polys for the decimation master.i posted just a fast example.

Nice. How do you plan on texturing this? Like, will you use a glow map for anything?

Does anyone know what the maximum or a good number of triangle for a prop like this should be?
I don't know about the texturing yet right know i don't know about the modeling either because im not getting the desired results.

1000 is probably better. 1024x1024 for the texture size.

You will probably drive yourself mad trying to get it that low. 4-5k is good, but if you can get it lower without sacrificing too much, that's fine too. By the way, you might want to use NURBS or Bezier paths to create the hoses on the low poly model as it's a very easy way of getting good topo on the hoses while also making it very easy to get them into shape.

On another note, I'd just like to say that I like everything except the flat ribbon-y bits at the bottom.
