 		Starting to wonder if googling stuff like IEDs and rocket-propelled grenades is going to land me in the shite?? Modern times.... :/

 		I should add, this is for game research, not sinister means.

 		I once purchased a piece of a 737-400 cockpit. Just for the pleasure of playing with the switches and knobs while trying to figure something out (The kids these days call them fidgets)

Once it arrived I thought to myself "I wonder if I can get these switches to do stuff, lets google a manual for a 737-400"

I too must be on a list somewhere!

 		Ridiculous tho, init. I mean, all these terrorists making bombs lately - that sort of chemistry is the sort of thing I'd happily sit on the bog reading about of a morning as to me, making stuff go bang is just science. I like to find out why stuff reacts like it does. I'm happy as a pig in shit watching stuff like How It's Made or Mythbusters.

But I wouldn't dare google it. We had new doors and windows put in two years ago and I don't want the fucker smashed off its hinges cos I've been reading information that some daft bastard might have used to kill people.

 		Anywho... today's model of a RPG-7. Low poly, not bothered with things like the trigger as you won't see it this close in game anyway.

 		Those look awesome. I don't know how accurate they are compared to the real thing, but they look great, nonetheless.

 		They're a close approximation but I'm deliberately oversizing some stuff a little. It'll be fairly small on screen and you just wouldn't see it otherwise.

Heres a real one.

 		I think your ones look better

 		It actually looks a lot better in Unity - pic above was just a quick 3ds max render. A bit of specularity goes a long way - looks much less flat.

 		I recently watched the movie "snowden" Pretty interesting what the intelligence agencies can do.

If you threaten a president with death you get logged in a database according to the movie.

My stephfather once got a call for being a little bit to 'voilent' with his text towards the president over here. A govenment agency called him on the phone the same day he posted something. He only wrote how the president would feel if he was in a wheelchair. (it was in a reply thread for an article about the govenment spending cuts for invalids)

I actually prefer flat and stylised - I honestly love the look of something like Virtua Racer over a brand new F1 game with photo-real graphics. I don't like flat-shaded human characters though (as per Virtua Fighter), but anything else can look great (IMHO) when stylised. I know that's not quite the same as you have done here, but give me stylised over real-looking anyday.
