A bunch of medieval guns N such.

Made a bunch of medieval gun models from handgonnes, hand bombards to haakbuses. All of them are based on museum examples or from period artistic depictions such as in manuscripts and frescos.

Finally decided to try substance painter for texturing, neat but barely know how to use it still so the textures are basic at best.
