Yet Another Model Compiling Error

[Crypt19]

So after a good 2 hours of searching, I've come to no avail in solving the "ERROR: Bad command {" error that I've been getting whilst compiling a model. I've have really tried just about everything that I've come across, none of it working. I've tried numerous compiling programs, from StudioCompiler, to StudioMDL, even to compiling with Notepad++ and ConTEXT. ALL of them give me the same "bad command {" error. I've made sure there are no stray or misplaced open brackets, and there's been no way of getting around it. I'm attempting to compile the vending machine model directly from Half-Life², but with an added skin. I've also tried decompiling, then recompiling the model as-is, and still receive the same error. I've been trying to compile this and fix it for nearly 2 hours now. Here's the .qc:

$cd "C:\offcom\decompiles\vending\files"
$modelname "props_interiors\VendingMachineSoda01a.mdl"
$model "Body" "VendingMachineSoda01a_reference.smd"
$lod 100
{
  replacemodel "VendingMachineSoda01a_reference" "lod1_VendingMachineSoda01a_reference"
}
$cdmaterials "models\props_interiors/"
$texturegroup skinfamilies
{
	{ "SodaMachine01a.vmt" }
	{ "SodaMachine01b.vmt" }
} 
$hboxset "default"
$hbox 0 "static_prop" -21.423  -26.061  -47.992  21.423  26.061  47.992
// Model uses material "SodaMachine01a.vmt"
$surfaceprop "plastic_barrel"
$keyvalues  { prop_data { "base" "Metal.Large"  } } 
$illumposition -0.000 0.000 0.000
$sequence idle "idle" fps 30.00
$collisionmodel "phymodel.smd"
{
	$concave
	$mass 600.0
	$inertia 1.00
	$damping 0.00
	$rotdamping 0.00
}

If anyone has the solution, it would be greatly appreciated. If not, and I feel like an a** for suggesting this, if anyone can decompile the model, then recompile it with code I've given, then send me the file, that would likely solve the problem.

I would recommend reading this page from the Valve Developer Community about compiling a model:

https://developer.valvesoftware.com/...piling_a_model

I have thoroughly read that page, and many others on VDC.

Your QC file looks fine as far as I can tell. Have you tried splitting "$keyvalues { prop_data { "base" "Metal.Large" } }" into multiple lines? Maybe the compiler doesn't like multiple opening/closing brackets on a single line.

Wow, the model actually compiles now, thank you.
