more I look at the gun the more I like it, don't think it needs much more work to it, it is for anime doll afterall and like yggdrasil said it's gotta look good in toon mode too. we could prolly texture it for detail in normal mode and leave it as is for toon renders. in Toon renders I would draw on and extra detail I may want added anyway, I prefer the model to have crisp lines than dotted lines which ya get with more detailed models. On the Swat Officer I did I had to almost compleatly redraw the M16 as it was so badly dotted it was hard to make it out. 'dotted' is what i call it when the model is too detailed for a cartoon render and the black lines distort into many small coloured dots that not only break the shap up but also bleed into the nearby colours too, which results in a lot of postwork redrawing the lines and recolouring.
