Hell Let Loose: Vietnam - M79 "Thumper"

50% Stock. 50% Barrel. The Thumper was an incredible opportunity to test what I had learnt so far. My personal priority was making sure the most eye catching half of the launcher was as accurate as I could get it. I loved hand painting the grains of wood and making the curvature of the wood feel natural. Since, I was a lot more confident in my modelling skills, I had a lot more time dedicated to texturing and this was a great chance to explore Painter from a new perspective. There was a lot of trial and error and several iterations of the wood before I landed the final product.
