Description
This has to be my most favoured of all revolver-style guns (followed by the SAA - next challenge? I think so). Originally I first saw this used in the old Ghost in the Shell movies and TV series, and immediatly made attempts to model it, but because of the slightly awkward shape of the grip I found it a little hard.I dug the file up off my redundant hard drive and set to work on it today. It's not exactly a top-knotch job, and so its been a little rushed just because I wanted to get something done.
The Mateba autorevolver is such a beautifully crafted gun, it has style to it, something that makes it stands out from all other revolvers/autorevolvers.
Edit:
I've now been made aware that this is infact, a fictional weapon known as the M2008, and so i've renamed it appropriately

I think the grip is well done for as odd as it is shaped.
This actually a very real gun...

the Mateba unica model 6, Awesome gun. comes in i think a half dozen calibers now I hear. I think you did awesome, it looks very much like the real think, just a little more choppy I suppose. But very awesome

Well done model! Just letting you know this isn't a Mateba Model 6 Unica, but a fictional Mateba M2008.

Thank you very much!
I concede to probably getting the name wrong Upon my search for reference images I came across many different variants of the Mateba autorevolver family and just stuck with whatever was the most common. However, fictional? Its based off an image of a real gun ([link] )
Unless of course, i'm totally wrong and the gun in the image has been custom built or is in some other way an unofficial Mateba product.

It's a resin model kit, but yeah it looks real enough to be deceiving.

Thanks so much for showing me that ref site!
I used to have something bookmarked over at Sony ImageStation, but since they shut it down i've had a harder time to find good ref shots
And cheers for correcting me on this I'll rename it and probaly go make the Model 6 Unica
