A less cube-like shape and something with a bit more edge variation would go a long way, I don't think the material is that far off, maybe a bit of bump like in this image:

Yeah, I agree with Dippndots - I think that adjusting the shape a bit and adding more bump would be a good way to go.

Other then that it does look very good, material wise.

The rest of the image is amazing also :)

Ah ok. Well the best thing to do is play with the translucency, absorption and scattering settings in the CoronaMtl. The tool tips on those are pretty good and self explanatory. Once you feel you have the waxyness of the material right, start adding things like bump and gloss maps to make it more interesting.

Alternatively you can just simply plug inverted AO map into diffuse slot - from a distance nobody would tell a difference. Most likely that's how it's made in original picture :]

Here is my attempt. The trick is to set sss directionality to proper value. It is also very important to remember about realistic scale of objects, and the results are very sensitive to lighting.

Hi. For sides I used volume select and max displacement modifier with one axis scaled cellular as displacement map. Text and other minor sufrace imperfections are done the same way but using push modifier. Had no time to model it properly so its polycount way above adequate. Half million tris a piece. :D
No mat file, sorry. Couldnt find a simple way to save it.
