I think my finished product does achieve the aim of the project, however the belt model I made doesn't look as good as the other models. This is because I tried to do to much with a single object and ended up making it difficult to make half of the object act a certain way, while the other half act differently. It resulted in the belt looking very jagged when I wanted it to be smooth. Other than the models look good.
I am especially happy with how the pistol turned out, I think it is the best model out of the production. It would make sense that it is. I did use a new object when I wanted to create something else, even if that new object would appear to be attached to the main body. This let me use the smooth shading exactly how I wanted and it made the whole model look better.
My planning with the quick sketches did help, as drawing is much quicker than modelling so I could erase ideas I didn't like or quickly add new ones. However I think my design pack was the weakest part of my design process. I find that I'm always wanting to do more practical work, so I unintentionally rush designing like this and focus on actually making the object. I think it turned out good though regardless of having a weak plan.
