I've been working on this for the last few days. It's a Smith & Wesson 1911 Colt .45. It's my second model, and my first skin. I like the model, I think I did a really good job on it. But the skin is crap, but it's my first so cut me some slack. It's optimised at a respectable 1325 triangles. There might be some waste in that there are some verticies that could be deleted and would barely change the model. But there's no stray verticies that don't change the shape at all, well, maybe a few, but not many. Anyway, here's some renders:

















What do you guys think? Constructive critisism is welcome, I really want to get good at this.

not bad just add alittle more detail to it

On the third picture, the hole where the bullet comes out need to be black

Nice. The only thing I don't like it the wood texture you used on the handle.

Not bad.

They're like, rival companies

Not bad. Not bad at all. Just, the texture needs a bit more detail

ya and that bore is way to big otherwise i like it

Fix the wood texture. It's a lil' stretched. Other than that, pretty good.

Hushed casket, i already sent you a pm with a great skinning site. Itll learn you the basics of an awesome metal texture, and of course wood.
Check this example out:

(im not going to make a detailed piece of metal, takes too long >_>)
