I've noticed what you said after reviewing the render and I'm going to
increase the reflection on the silver but add some normals to blur it.  The
key is in the specular too though and that's going to be increased on both
the silver and black parts.  With a three day render time, however, I
couldn't afford to add reflection blur to that last scene.

There is an insignia on the grip.  Zooming in you can barely make it out.
The AA and my lighting angle killed it.  It shows up a little better in the
1280 version and its something to improve in the next render.

I'm plan on "selling" some custom renders to the airsoft distributor I
bought mine from in exchange for more replicas.  Maybe then I will get do
something cooler like the Colt or Walker.  :)

Some take care to announce nudity in the topic if there is a square inch of
nude flesh but is a lethal weapon harmless?

That's life in america.
A nipple is a tragedy, but a baby in a bucket of razor blades is art.

I just live here.
