I got bored last week and decided to try making everyone's favorite pea-shooter, just to learn some more about modeling. This is based off of the pistol's mesh; with a few additions (sight, safety, barrel, trigger) modeled by me. This is nothing to write home about; my modeling skills aren't the greatest, as I am better with editing an existing model than starting from scratch. Therefore,
I do not present this as a professional job;
I do not want professional critique. But
I would like tips for future works.
Also, I am VERY well aware that I need smoothing applied.
Sooo... here's the model I have:
Wireframe:
Compare it to Bungie's render:

ok, i can give you some tips if you let us know your modeling method (spline? plane? box?) and give us a wire-on-model render, prefferably from that same angle.

Did that.
It's hard to say what modeling method I use. For this, I was just adding to and removing parts from the M6D Pistol's mesh. What I added was either moving verices around, then deleting/creating faces.
But, when I make an attempt at modelling something from scratch, I tend to use anything I can; so, planes, primitives, and splines.

just some small little details, and it'd be awesome.

Nice!
But why can't someone make something up instead of copping Bungie?
