(sorry if this isn't how to show off pictures through a post, not entirely sure how to do it)

You got embedding pictures mostly right! Just put it in image tags. Without quotes, type the following:
["img"] image URL here ["/img"]
End result looks like this:


So far that looks really, really nice. I'd like to see some texture on the actual round platform, but I'm sure that could be added with a texture and bump map.

Ya I held off on modeling the metal grate on the platform, I might try that Monday when I got back and add some more detail and do-dads here and there one it. I'm hoping to go back over pretty much everything below the actual gun and mount itself.

Also I'll try to upload some pictures of better quality (didn't have but a minute to set up a light system and get a test render in) and of different views around the platform and gun.
