Images were gathered off the internet to use as reference from websites showing off antique displays, as well as replicas created by hobby enthusiasts.
Prior to modeling, assembly diagrams were examined to understand how all the gun components fit together. Since this is an older weapon, measurements for the gun were first converted to metric before modelling began.
Texturing
Initial textures were baked using Substance Designer then some corrections were baked for small areas using XNormal. Afterwards, NDO was used to add the diamond grip pattern to small components of the gun.
