Hey guys, I've been working on this in my spare time for a while now and finally finished it. I even made a few assets to do some set dressing for the final rendering. The animation was fun as well. I hope you guys like it! Here's the whole project on artstation: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/w8dDeV

Oh I assumed you watched it, AvE is a... interesting youtube channel with a series called "BOLTR" where he tears down a bunch of random machines. He's an engineer himself He made a video on the glock 17 recently https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rduVAVrQCM
