Ak47 Modeling Process - NEED CRITIQUE

HJavadein

Hello my fellow artists and craftsmen and women. 

In this topic i'll be sharing my process of making an Ak 47  rifle from scratch using 3DS max and Zbrush Bolean tools.

I'm doing this mainly to motivate myself and have track of my work.

Any suggestions and critique is appreciated.

For a start i blocked out some parts in max and my next step is to finish the buttstock in Zbrush.

These are some of the reference images that i use.

Of course i've gathered references for each different part as well as assembly videos on youtube which was really helpful.

Any help or suggestions ?

I think you're off to a great start. Gun forums and auction sites are great for references and measurements. This video might help out with the internals and mechanics of the AK. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=70ITPdXzQqg

Thanks for the tips. honestly i wasn't concerned about measurements until you just said it.

I thought i'll just go with the reference. but now that i think of it it'll be more professional to be exact in this kind of work.

I'll definitely check out this video and update my blockout to match the measurements.

I'll post an update in a couple of days.

Thanks again

I made a little progress today.

The buttstock parts are done. I tried to stay true to the actual Ak47 when it comes to making cuts and holes.
