Looking good man...you going to put it in a scene?? Sorry mate its been a while since I have visited this thread, I forgot what you intended...I will retro read tomorrow mate.

cheers bullet

P.S the cammy colour is spot on (shades)...nice and urban.

Looking better, still needs some nice rounder edges to catch the light though

The texturing is looking nice Paldav and I agree some bevels would improve the way the edges are catching the light.

Cheers guys

This model has been giving me a christmas headache! i seem to have lost the silluette i wanted and the whole model has slowly been changing shape from my original idea.
After much thought i broke out the scale tool!!

somtimes its better to just be direct. I am much happier with it now and have started beveling edges and laying out U.V's ...full steam ahead, hopefully
