This is my work in progress for the contest:
I found inspiration in the movie kung fury wich is a new swedish short film that is a parody of 80s sci-fi movies.

I have the idea that the magazine is supposed to look like an old super nintendo cartridge that you stick into the m4.

And above the statrak monitor it says SCORE but i have to make it bigger so that it is more visible. So its a old school gaming themed weapon aswell.

I have a few questions and would be nice if someone could help me.
My skin looks really worn even at factory new. I remember you had to make something to the alpha channel but it was a long time since i made a skin. Can someone remind me what to do?

Also do you guys think its a good skin idea and that i should keep putting in work for it before the deadline? Interested to hear your feedback before uploading it to the workshop.
If i want a "shiny metallic look" like lets say the m4 hot rod, is that possible with this type of skin? Should i pick custom paint job or something else?
Greatfull for your feedback and tips. Good luck in the competition everyone!
