first one is looking good woz, the edges are looking a little bit hard tho.

Man, i didn't even see that moon hater one...looks fun

[joecyriac]

First one looks killer! Loving the design, and the execution.

[aovesen]

Your model is looking great indeed, I agree with Daezd about some of the hard edges tho, maybe a little chamfer on those, just a little and its perfect. Just my 2 cents :) Keep up the good work.

[Nothingness]

aha, the next model on the menu is looking way more cool and challenging. Very curious to see what the next level will be.

Are you gonna texture and shade them? I know that's not a part of the challenge, but the first gun wasn't really that of a challenge.
Maybe you can do some sculpting on it for the bump, and use it as displacement. That count's for this modeling challenge.

waiting to see the next step.

[the-woz]

Thx for the comments! :)


aoseven and DaezD: yes I noticed that when you commented. Mostly the grip, I'll probable redo that part with a higher poly count.

Nothingness: Yes, I plan on texture them if I have time



Some advance on the Moon Hater, I focused on the base so there is not a lot to see:

I'm modelling the Saturn 17 Raygun, from this print:

I'm no going to do the cutaway, only the external view (top-right corner of the picture)

I don't think I'll finish it on time, but I'm doing it mostly to learn more about subdiv modelling.

I love this man.
I own THE RIGHTEOUS BISON - INDIVISIBLE PARTICLE SMASHER and am a fan of
Dr Grordort.
your second model is the killer. the infallible Aether Oscillator.
Beautiful work
