Wireframe will come. I just need to render it.
I know it isn't 100% accurate, and that's why I'm getting some feedback. =)

The barrel is currently temporary. I can't decide whether I want to make a C-mag or just a standard mag.

I dont know why so many people make models of this gun, in my opinion its probably the most ugly weapon in the world. It looks like a space toy that when you pull the trigger it might light up and make a crackly "pew pew" noise... Thats just my opinion on the gun though.

Your modeling looks solid and i cant see anything that looks wrong, your smoothing is really nice so far and its looking pretty accurate. I Guess you are making a high poly model becuase those groves could be textured on with a normal map becuase they really really done affect the silhouette of the model at all. But is that your intention? Or is this going to be a portfolio piece? Anyway, its looking great so far, or as great as that gun CAN look , keep it up!

Really good, But what I would do is get rid of the ugly grip and stock and make something cool preferibly an m4 grip with an g36c stock.

but then it wouldnt be an Xm8 would it? it would be an abortion.

Nice work mate, looking good.

So that means it's not an xm8 aswell.

Actually it is. I think you misread, but I meant that most XM8s that people model are an older model. This one is the newest version, before the XM8 was cancelled.

Shhhh .... never mind.

Excellent start! Looks very good so far, I like how the seams between molded sections are deep and bold.

Btw, that red dot sight reminds me of COD4, everyone uses them.

[MrChief]

There's an update. Almost done with the model.

Good progress so far. Only thing I see right now is that your XM8 has no Flash Suppressor.

That image shows the XM8 with a flash suppressor at the end of the barrel. A must for any modern weapon.
