Thanks lazerus for mentioning my thread
But petsall, i agree with them.
It looks like a cutout. What i suggest is:
Either look on my thread.
Search for pictures on google. (thats what i did)
That desert eagle was my first gun model.
But not my first model that i created..
I see that this is your second model?
Than i think its better to start with something more easy like
tables, chairs, sofa's, small props.
Eventually try to move on with bigger projects that are a bit harder to create.
Vehicles, buildings (not just boxes with a texture on it), trees? (good for UV practice and texture!) and so on.
But i have to say! That is great for your second model!
I remember my second model or first model... I just use primary stuff...putted them together.
Made a seperate texture for each of them...so in the end...it didnt worked in FPSC
So you are really doing a great job!
