Demo Reel Tid-bits Part 1

 So, or good-morning, or however you start these things off with...

I am currently working on my demo-reel, and surprise surprise I made it about firearms... unless this is the first time reading something from this blog then it IS a surprise.
   The first environment is set in some SHTF-esque safehouse. The inhabitants can only afford surplus or cheap sporting firearms, and they reload their own ammunition (except for the .22 LR because you can't reload rimfire cartridges without VERY special equipment, good thing the bulk ammo is generally inexpensive.)
   The above image is just some crates of surplus RPG-7s, CZ 858s, and rockets. The scribbling on the side of the crates state what firearm is in there, both in Russian and Czech. The original idea was to put the rifles in a box with a bunch of shredded paper, and it looked terrible.

 Here we have CZ 858, Remington SPR 220 Cowboy, and a Ruger 10/22. All resting peacefully on a rifle rack. Below the Ruger are several boxes of CCI Blazer 22 LR. Technically they should have trigger locks on them and the ammo should be stored elsewhere, but this IS a SHTF scenario.

When I was still in highschool, my dad wanted to start reloading ammunition, mainly because it was hard to find 10mm for his S&W 1006. So we borrowed a brass tumbler (the round thing under the table), and a LEE melting pot (find it yourself) and we started cleaning brass casings and melting some lead. In this shot there are some reloading Dies, gunpowder, bullet molds, and reloading books. Two presses with different dies, and a few bricks of lead.
   Now attached to the stainless Ruger 10/22 is a suppressor. I did some research on how suppressors worked, and the ways to make one out of pipes and a few extra things. Seeing as this is a safehouse where it's inhabitants do not have immense funding, a makeshift suppressor is more valid than a commercial one.

Keep in mind that these are not the finished product, and I am still working on the texturing, this is more or less an update.
