Looks ok to me?

e: ok maybe a teeny weeny bit wider than the real deal, but ingame you'll hardly see it anyway.

The main part of the gun just has a generic base applied in that first picture. I cleaned up the buttstock and made it more like my normal synths. Also, don't blame me for the model thickness.. not my model ;P

That looks a lot better, woodstock (lol?) looks a bit iffy though, can't put my finger on what though.

It's just the real one's a little more elegantly rounded than this one is, but as said, it's not really going to be seen in game much, just depends on how accurate you want the end result to be.

I think 2 things might help it feel more like wood (or a synthetic wood). Right now you have it a metal color, with metal scratches. And to me, the photo ref looks like it was a wood color (red/brown) that was painted. So make it a lot darker (black almost) take out the "metallic grunge" look, and just chip away sections, with a red/brown under neath. Also, make the wood grain slightly visible (even with the paint, you could definitely see it slightly. Might help it get away from the metal look.

just my thoughts.

Well.. I'm still very new to this thing ^^;
But I'll take my chances at posting a couple of things I'm working on =)
First, a crate! Truth is this is probably my first "real" model, as I didn't use a tutorial to make it :P

It's extremely simple, I know ^^;

Other one is a Explosive barrel of sorts, containing Unobtanium. Made it today, my second model

It's not as horribly simple as the crate ^^;

In either case, my biggest problem is texturing, don't really know where to begin and I'm not familiar with the do's and dont's yet, but that's why I came here! Too learn more =)

Would like some comments on things I could/should change and such and maybe some help with where to start on making a texture

Just a small practise model that I did in the last hour or so, with 512^ normal, specular and diffuse maps. It would have a reflection map as well, but I had difficulty getting it working with the DirectX shader in XSI.
