Weapon Design - Guru's and Grasshoppers Project

My Guru's are simply brilliant, they set us a really fun project that we could sink our teeth into from the beginning and they showed me a tonne of shortcuts to make me work a lot faster, from Soft selection to what an Ngon is and how to remove it, they continue to help us all with our current projects every Wednesday and as much as they possibly can online through the Facebook group we're all in.
I never textured my Axe because I've been focused to hard on the work set to us for each of the course projects... that and I don't know where to start with creating and painting all the textures from scratch.
