30 mins, radiosity, lit entirely by the background color.  I'm happy with
it, after all, if I ever use it in a scene, it'll be pretty
far away...  I'm wondering though, where those thick lines came from in my
crackle texture.

looks nice, just one small point tho, AA guns have no use for laser sights,
they have to fire ahead of the target, if they shot directly at it they
would miss everytime :))

Um... not if they're firing a bigger laser... I guess.

looks cool .. but ... [ there's always a but isn't there? ] to enhance
the realism of the gun, get rid of the ladder and put in a door there
instead.  Most AA guns that I know have a tendency to swing around at
really high speed in order to track fast aircraft, such a turret design
would kill anyone climbing up that ladder!  A visible red laser like
that is a big "shoot me light", try a small parabolic dish on the top
instead.

Not necessarily, it could be an Anti-Aliasing gun! :)
