Just wanted to share a not so well known tutorial which deserves a bit more views (not affiliated)
Some good things on modelling and lighting in there. Not looked at the animation part yet. I don’t think the guy is a youtuber as such and you have to dig around to find the order. I ended up doing quite a lot myself which was good practice.
I watched the first video and didn’t realise until the 3rd video that he shows you how to do some of the other bits and pieces on the gun, so a heads up on that one but I think most of it is there but not in order.
I picked up some nice lighting tips too.
Part one here :
