Yes.

Very nice pistol, the texture really looks up to scratch.

Here are some shots of the model I've not worked on for a long time. I´m going to make a new texture for the rest of the body and a specular map and a normal map for all parts, but I think I´m almost done with the mesh work now.

schweet i likey mswf

You've outdone yourself.

nice, is it selfmade or kitbashed?

It's originally the Boba Fett model. When I started out, I wanted to focus on texturing it only, but as I worked on it more and more I decided to try and make it a quality-wise good model. I'm still not satisfied with it though, but I'm not finished so there's plenty of room for me there.
EDIT:
Coming closer:

now that's a sweet Mando model, great work mswf.

i marked as hard edge the same way unit template have, but anyway when export look square line in arms , elgs etc, how could i smooth edges in xsi please ?

smooth edges are edges that arent hardened, however the pandemictool we use seems to make edges look "harder" ingame then the edges of the shipped models (i could be wrong though)

yeah i know that, but idont know how smooth them in xsi :S (if there is a way for sharpenes i think should there is a way for make the opposite (smoth) ), also unit template used some way for that xD, but i dont discover how still

To get the smoothness as shown on mswf's model in XSI is subdivision modelling.
There are a few ways to do it which I won't get into here, maybe catch you on xfire.

You can also just select a group of polygons and apply the smooth operator found in the deform menus. Be careful with that one though it may give undesired results. It works best if the edges around the polies you want to smooth are set to be hard edges (done by selecting the edges desired right click when near or on one of the edges then near the bottom is a Mark Hard edges option. It will then turn them dark blue.

cool practicing now , anyway i wait you in xfire , many thanks

No, there were no subdivision modifiers applied to this model. All you see is smooth shading with a modifier which will, when exported, also physically split the edges apart.

Yes I was saying though that sub-d is one equivalent way in XSI I that I know about.

I know you are using that other wierd program which has different ways of doing things as they all seem to.

i think you misunderstood msfw (ir did i?)
he didnt subdivide or smooth anything, he just disconnected edges which resulted in them being rendered "hard",
the "smooth" edges are being rendered normaly just as in xsi

You understood everything I said, apart from how I spell my nickname. And the disconnected edges is something done through a modifier (non-destructive edits), but I'll eventually apply them, that's the difference.

I just meant to say the following to fragme!; no fancy tricks, apart from the hard shaded edges, it's all poly-by-poly editing I did in order to get this. Oh, and a mirror modifier, that one rules (I didn't know about the existance of this modifier when I started working on this, so the edits I did to the head took way too long.)

argh, a typo! i apologize

I think what fragme! is saying, is that if you want to make a model look like that in xsi, subdivision is one way to do it. He knows that that isn't how mswf did it:
