Romanian AK Drum Magazine

A few months back I participated in a challenge hosted by Dan Kenton of The Weapon Room discord, where I modeled and textured a Romanian 75-round 7.62x39mm AK drum magazine with bullets. During the live feedback stream (reminiscent of the old college 3D critiques during covid, no place like home) Dan recommended that I develop my rendering and texturing further. Since that earlier submission, I've revisited my textures and revamped the lighting, ditching the studio setup and replacing it with my favorite natural environment: the desert.

If anything, my desire to bask in the desert leaning on a log is channeled through the drum mag.

Thanks Dan Kenton and all the support from the members of The Weapon Room Discord, which can be found here: https://discord.gg/A2zFKwrG
