Ok, got asked to post a tutorial to explain the technique I used to render the gun, see Scott Robertsons Gnomon "Bike" dvd for the full things but basically here it is....

The used the shape tool to make the shape on the left, using dodge and burn I add in the light and shadow to describe the form, using the selection tool I created bolt holes to give it a techy look, used filter>texturizer>sandstone to give it a rough plastic look, and finished up with some scratches and noise...

Same process for the cylinder on the right, square selection tool, fill with a mid grey, dodge and burn to describe the form, then this is a cool trick for any kind of machined metal grain, filter noise, check preserve transparency and filter>motion blur, a little colour dodge airbrushing to give some metalic colour kicks and finish with some scratches....

Hope this was of some use.....
