Am I posting this in the right place?
After a bit of post-graduation vegetating I'm getting some inspiration for some new projects. I'm getting started on my first weapon model and I figured I would start with the one I'm most familiar with - my Rock Island M1911-A1.
I set up a quick photo shoot to get reference pics and I thought I'd share them with you all. It's my carry weapon so there's some nifty scratches, dings and other "character marks" (the lighting is kind of meh but all I had to use were a few lamps).
The full images are 3000 pixels wide:

A smaller preview is at the bottom of this post. If there's interest and I end up taking more ref shots I may post those as well.

sorry for doing a "pulls hand when reaching the finger"
What a joy they were...
