TT-33 Tokarev Pistol

RedRogueXIII

Hello, here is a gun I've been working on and attempting to texture.
I'm aiming to get it as realistic looking as possible, and I know I'm missing scratches and damage that would help push the look, but aside from that I'm not sure what else I'm missing.
Any help/ critique would be very appreciated.

you need to make it a bit more shinier to sell the metal look i think, like in the first ref picter

You need a tighter and less saturated specular. Nothing else to really critique on yet

Thanks for the advice! Upped the spec and gloss values for the metal areas and the plastic grip. Also added some blue brushing to the metal, but it's very thick and needs to be more coarse. Anyways that's about it until tomorrow.

big improvements here.
I would say that you need to get more out of your reflections. are you using a gloss map?

i think this one was going in a more interesting direction

what's with that shadow triangle at the top of the trigger guard where it connects to the lower receiver?

also the texture is awfully brushed

If you can work it, one thing that would sell this very well visually is to depict the machining marks on the metal along the length of the slide and the contours of the frame and grip. Russian manufacturing wasn't quite as delicate or polished as ours, and there were a lot of tool marks left on weapons like this one.
