thanks for the positive feedback
@DeHonCha : i am not trying to replicate a model i am trying to replicate a real gun, i was aiming for realism, if i was trying to make
a gun rather than a realistic copy i wouldn't have stuck so closely to it's original design. however, thanks for the tip and i will be more creative in future
why i tried to replicate a gun and my modeling history (or lack of it)
i was trying to replicate a gun because i have only tried to model a
gun twice before, the first one was a bit of a disaster and the
second was [i]ok[/i] but i fealt that until i tryied to copy a gun i
would never get it realistic enough. both were in truespace 3.2 and i tried to do the second again in deled, i haven't done much
modeling and this is the third model i've made in milkshape. i found
milkshape much easier to use so will probably buy it, are there any
other milkshape users here that recomend it?
edit: i've just finished a quick texture job using lithunwrap and my reference pic:
