Yes I agree. I did make one, but can easily remove it.

Interesting....yes

Why not! Thinking I could use "flak" maybe for that? I'll have to research some.

Yeah, the first texture I did all gold texture as in the pic and it was a bit too much. I toned it down for this.

The scope is just for looks ( keep it or remove it?) Doing the animation tonight. Done soon.

Yes! We have the perfect shader already for that. The character burnout shader form Bond1.

My games never have bugs. They just develop random features..
Lots and lots of random features...
