i stopped following the tutorial for the modeling part, just wasnt my way of modeling the thing.
i just picked it back up now for the setting out for the skeleton and and stuff. Cause i have never tried animation as yet.
Once i have that done ill go back to modeling the finer detail.
just using the reference pic.
oh heres the link.
