forget it, I'm staying out of this thread. You two have really proven that I am horrible at modeling and I shouldn't get the slightest amount of encouragement from anyone. You both really know how to be an ass to people who only seek tips for modeling. Thanks alot.

this isn't realy how u take criticism, i went through the same things and i still model, running away isn't going to make you better, let me tell u something, criticism indeed doesn't really matter, but you don't improve by yourself, when you take someone's criticism, u experiment something different, a new thing.
this kind of attitude proves that u dont want to be a modeler at all

That wasn't criticism at all, it was a "honest" comment.
He didn't give me any tips, he just told me it looked like absolute stuff.
Do you see ANY kind of actual criticism in anything he said? Because I sure don't.
And another thing, I DO want to be a modeler, but Ben Grapevine and Kishgal are just going to constantly hate on everything I model. Specifically calling it horrible.

The criticism was that it looks bad. If you really don't understand that, put it next to other Blockland models and you should definitely see the differences.

Are you five? Does one negative comment suddenly mean that everybody hates you and wants you to die?
I'll give you a hint: no.

How the forget am I supposed to follow criticism if all it is is just "IT LOOKS HORRIBLE"?
Am I supposed to instantly become the best modeler in the universe? Or am I missing something? Because I'm pretty loving sure that saying "IT LOOKS LIKE stuff" isn't criticism. And now you're going to say something along the lines of "It is criticism" and continue your neverending bullstuff.

No, I'm not five. I DO know how to take criticism, but that wasn't a loving criticism comment, it was a insult.

i'm pretty sure IN is looking for constructive criticism, aka "it looks like stuff and here's why"

[BlockAlpha]

Guys he just saying that he need your support to make him really want to be a better modeler, (what every modeler want) and you all know that the real way is not like that.. it's not constructive criticism
sorry for bad english

You read my mind.

Okay to be constructive, make a better gun that doesn't look like cardboard cut out with scissors.

That's still almost as useless as your last comment.

I'm going to give you constructive criticism on constructive criticism. If you're going to critic a model that doesn't look good, how about you actually give them tips on making it look better if you're going to be picky about detail? Another tip, if you actually try to encourage them to do it, maybe they'll feel better about using those tips that you gave them.

I'd like to mention that I tried to offer some constructive criticism, so I don't really think it's fair to say you only got insults. Also, they aren't going to automatically call everything horrible, it's just that they will comment based on what they see. If anything, this should be an incentive to make a really great model and prove them wrong.

Bens most recent comment about the cardboard cutout is pretty much spot on, real guns are made in a three dimensional context, but it appears that this is mostly made from a two dimensional shape that was simple extended. Now, like I tried to say originally, this isn't too extreme with yours, since you've definitely got some z-axis variety going on, so to speak. But I think maybe a greater understanding of the physical geometry of the object you're trying to model is very helpful. I know that if I don't understand something, I'm pretty much unable to model it.
