A personal project of mine but I'm not sure what to change so I've labelled this as WIP and I can get some feedback, whilst I'm doing my uni projects.

personally i would render not with a black background as its a little hard to see some of the detail underneath. I would also address the butt of the gun as it looks a little strange being curved.

Looks nice though, nice use of colour user added image

Do render with a black background (don't change the env color) but then save it out as a png or tiff and place it over another color in Photoshop or similar, so that we can see the details as myth suggested. The wire in the middle isn't working for me. Try routing it differently, maybe with intermediate fasteners so it's not just hanging off the side.

So I kept some elements from the reference such as the curved handle, but as you point out it probably isn't practical.

This the first of the "family" of Manmelter weapons which could do with some more work I think, and then I went on and designed that rifle.
