Sci Fi Gun Model

For this task I had to create a low poly model of a sci fi gun with the reference image supplied.

I have spent a good few hours attempting this one. I haven't learnt in tries, only polys.
At the moment my gun has just over 1000 verts and 992 polys. There are a few little bits left to add, mostly detail, and I need to smooth the gun as its a little bumpy.

The basic shape is there, I just need to add the final details and make it smooth.

I've added some more detail and made somethings a little smoother. But im on 1264verts. So i am nearing the limit. So the rest of the detail that's on the picture I probably think is a material rather than part of the gun. Which is a shame because it makes it look a little bit silly. Still having a little problem making the gun smooth.

 

Final

 

I checked my tri count and with all the extra circle it put me over the limit, so I had to remove them. So it makes the gun look really bland. But never mind. This is my final piece because I am out of tris.

The background colour is horrible but i didn't want to waste my time making that look better. Also the metal material is a little more reflective than I would have liked (because it reflects the awful background)
