Well, I've recently gotten into modeling. I think this is a good place to start.

After I finish modeling it, I'm going to UV map it, texture it, animate it, and hopefully get it compiled into CS:S.

I want you guys to tell me what I should do to improve the model so I can UV map it.

Current Polycount: 3,303

Oh yeah, here is some higher quality renders: 1 2 3

Update 4:

Lowered polycount to 3,303

Update 3:

Added wireframe screenshots. I don't know how to render something in wireframe, so this will have to do. 1 2

Update 2:

Shortened it a bit.

Update 1:

Optimized it a bit, brought the polycount down to 4,003. I'll add some wireframe screenshots in a bit.
