Thank you, im glad you like it. I enjoy making these weapons because they help me practice both my modeling skills as well as my animation/rigging skills, so its like 2 birds with one stone. Now to answer you question I mainly model by picture for these weapons, but ones like weiss's that didnt have any good reff pic like blakes are examples of times when I have to rely on memory a bit more. To add to that yes this one will be rigged and animated as well, so look forwared to that. Also don't worry if your critique seem nit picky, im always open to suggestions on how my work can be improved.
