Creating Hard surface Weapon and Learning Dynamic Animation

Fig.1 - Creating Weapon

The beginning process is always scary as I don't know who it would turn out or if I am doing it right, so I decided to start creating a cube and shaping it by looking at the background for outlines (shown in Fig 2 and 3). After creating the candy machine I was pleased with the result and decided to create the jawbreakers. I was very confused about how to create them, thus I decided to take a long way and do them manually by placing them. However, I then realised that there must be an easier way. I decided to look at tutorials and was able to find one on YouTube. I learnt how to use Dynamic Animation as shown in the last figure. Although struggled with it I was able to get there at the end.
