    M97 Custom
    ========================

    Hello there, been a while

    Been a week since I slowly came back to SN, experimenting with joints and all that
    Figured I’d come back with what I know what to do best of course, a weapon, this time a semi auto pistol
    Of course you know me, I love a good pistol, but I love it even more when it’s engraved and all pretty
    This is why I made this

    (I’ll make it quick as it’s 4am where I am)

    Functionalities—-
    Functionality wise, I included the basics as I almost allways do
    Slide, trigger, mag node, hammer, accessory node, muzzle node, and even the 1911 grip safety is movable

    It was a good exercise for me getting used to joints as I used them for almost every movable parts
    You can’t move the trigger into the slide, you can’t move the slide outside of how far it would “realistically” move, ect…

    Inspirations—-
    This “GFI M97” or “Grenat Firearms* Industries Modelo 1997″ is mostly ispired by the B76, in this case the body is more than the slide, but it’s more visible on the base model
    This one bores more resemblence to a Nighthawk custom 1911 for the slide, and the motifs were made with my brain off, used many references and tried many things, almost allways costed too mutch nodes for the coverage, so I ended up going for this simple-ish floral decorations with roses here and there

    Overall I like the result, joints rocks, and I gotta go to sleep

    See y’all around

    *Wrote ‘GAI’ on the pic without noticing, but it’s actually GFI
