Description
This is my final "First Try".
Spent half a day tweaking it.
You be the judge whether it was worth it.
BUT I AM learning the vertex modeler...dat's gotta count for sumpin.. I hope:)
I know this could be done a lot better, but NOT by me.
Comments welcome.

Nice piece of modeling!
Don't sell yourself short, I think this is excellent! Nice modeling work!
FINE work! Patience IS a virtue I'm told. SMILES. BTW: Looks like you've gotten TWO more bullets than BARNEY FIFE was allowed. WINK. My BEST to you and yours. T.P.
I agree with the others - you're being too hard on yourself. I'd give anything to model something this elaborate in Carrara! Personally, it looks like you are struggling more with the shaders than the modeling. Hint: The builtin Carrara metal shaders ALWAYS need tweaking to look right! Nice work - please don't stop trying!
Nice work...Carrara is hard to learn. I usually only use it for modifying things, but I find I learn as I come back to it over time...One trick, you might import a few models you like and look at how others did their meshing.
On my screen the two rightmost bullets look greenish, not brassy like (I think) they did. Anyway, Looks great.
@kmoffat srange...could be an artifact of th skylight atmo: yellowish brass against bluish light...good catch.
The model looks good for me.
