A 3D model of the Han Solo Blaster I created for this years 'Star Wars Day'. Hope fellow Star Wars fans like it!

Nicely done! It looks like a replica.
Let me give you one suggestion to improve it: you may want to improve the normal map to have grain and bumps, so it looks rough and dirty, less polished.

For me who spent over a year building a replica, obsessing over every tiny detail, it is glaringly obvious that it is a rendering... The biggest "tell" is that the safety lever is on the wrong side.
But you did get many things right, that not all replicas do. Good job!
Thanks for the replies! :)
@John Doom: Thank you for the tip. Yeh it does look a bit too shiny and "perfect". Excuse my ignorance, but whats the difference between normal maps and bump maps?
@Darth Lars: Wow you have a keen eye! Well spotted lol. I was using various images as reference so maybe I copied the wrong one.
My fault :D
I was trying to say that you should make the normal map look like a rough surface, with scratches and "bumps", as if the gun was heavily used. That may make it look less "clean" and more realistic.
