Excellent scene Clank! The pistol is snappy, good looking and quite reliable. Because the standard of your skin and gun are extremely high, I will comment harshly :

-The whole skin is not in 2D. You have chosen an online picture of the pistol that was taken slightly offset. Therefore, there are curves in the wrong places, eg. the bottom of the grip, the muzzle and the locking surface. These should be perfectly square and flat. Next time, ignore the offset and preferably use a line drawing instead.

-The barrel protrudes too much from the slide. It should be near flush in battery.

-Unfortunately, no Sig Sauer trademarks. I assume that you simply forgot since you added the "HiLight" one.

-There are no slide rails on the frame, and there is a noticeable gap.

-Pistol is too floppy, therefore drag tool is not very convenient. The gun should be cradled by the springs, not hung off them. Put the springs in strategic spots to simulate the grip on the hand.

-I am very flattered that you used my hand , but unfortunately it doesn't fit the P226. The grip angle is incorrect (the wrist is at an unnatural angle)

-The cartridge case has a strange greenish yellow color to it. I suggest using 47:100:45 as a color.

-The cartridge case should be wider than the bullet, as it has a thickness too.

-There is no rebounding hammer or safe notch (not sure is there is one on the SAO model). The hammer resting position should be on half-cock. This is a safety feature on the P220 family.

All these comments do not mean that the gun is bad. In fact, it is one of the best P226's I have seen here on the Box. It has potential, which is why I comment. Great job!

Thank you for your feedback!

I was only aware of a few of the things you mentioned in your comment, I will be trying to improve my next gun with all the things you mentioned.

I also have a question for you, where do you find your cad drawings and all the info for the internals? I only know of one and thats the "World of guns" game. While it is helpful for understanding how a gun works, it does not help too much with recreating them. I also look up things like "P226 cad drawings" or "P226 Cutaway" But I haven't found any reliable sources, Thanks!

I wish you success on perfecting your P226.

As Sig Sauer is still producing this pistol and holds patents, CAD blueprints and specs are company property. What I usually do is consult armorer manuals. They feature detailed drawings of the parts. Specifically, the P220 series armorer manual has a fantastic line drawing/cutaway of the P226/8. You can download it online as a PDF.

Also, try to find auction house photos. They are excellent sources of reference, as they are crisp, sharp, and minimise the offset caused by the camera. Here is an example: http://www.rockislandauction.com/photos/61/p_standard/JEQ548B-L-F1-H.jpg

Get yourself acquainted with all the possible variations of the firearm you are making, and rely on more than one picture to achieve the final result. Get close-ups on specific components or assemblies to render them more accurately (from dealers that sell spare parts).

These are just some techniques I use to perfect my skins and scenes. Good luck!

Amazing! I want this!!!!!!!!!!!
