lol.. or maybe i just have time on my hands user added image

, well not much... but enough i guess. I did an extra gun. thanks for smoothing hints, im thinking of rebuilding the body section.. i just doesnt look much like a mean machine in that area yet. And the tracks need beefing up a bit.
Here is a little addition.

The body of the gun needs a bit more shape/detail, other than that i can't really thing of anything....

15, yeh im just building everything up then i smooth it, its just i need to add more geometry to smooth and alot of the time i end up redoing alot of things so if i smooth to early its not so easy to go back.
