Thanks,

Itzat

Both look nicely modelled but the texturing could do with some more work The R2 unit has some UV seams that I can see and the dirt texture looks a little spread out evenly over the models. You could bake out a occlusion texture and use a layer mask in photoshop to create a starting point for the dirt. Also get some references of the models to see how the textured them................dave
