I was about to say that it's not your best texture... But then I saw the percentage and though, "Wow! Good job!"

Well If you saw my SMG model you probably hoped I would continue Halo models.
Luckily for you, I did

What YJJ would say: Give your base layer with the colour you want then do a overlay layer with 20% opacity and and nice big soft black and white brush. There we go, simply texture with shadow and highlights.

Aww you took my idea :runaway:
It looks good though. You may want to round off the top of the stock in the model (it looks a little square)

Hey Silas, let's make some sort of a Halo human weapons pack.
I've got the SMG, Battle rifle and health pack modeled. The only one that isn't fully skinned is the Battle Rifle.
We could divide the remaining weapons (like 2-3 more?) and release it.

you know, i was debating on whether or not to ask you the same thing. Sure, let's make a weapon's pack. I got a pistol, shotgun, and soon-to-be-done bubble shield emitter. I'll send you a PM about other weapons we should do. Anyone who already has made other weapons could join too.
