A bit too simple but it's ok. Custom sticker's pretty cool. 6.5/10

Toned down the green and increased the brightness of the worn metal accompanying it.
Tried adding a bit of paintedness to the main texture although its probably a bit too minor so I'll continue looking into that. Updated the wear picture to reflect the changes. Thanks for the feedback & compliment!

I think the custom wear isn't very good. Making a more toned-down green or a wear-down to silver will greatly benefit this.

Adding the painterly look to the main texture will help fit this into TF2 and break up the flatness of the primary texture.

Overall excellent work.

I see what you're saying. I'm hesitant to do a plastic look since the actual ion chambers are metal-so the custom wear is meant to be a bit more of the paint coming off + the stylized "radioactive goop" covering it. But I'll definitely see if I can get a more defined metal going; unfortunately the actual instrument is pretty flat looking despite the whole thing having a concrete like texture.

I like the idea, but I have to agree with the other commenter, the main texture is very flat. As for the custom wear, I dont think its necessary, perhaps it could wear yellowish with age, or a cracked plastic look.

I see your point for sure. In my eyes it looks good but I'll definitely experiment a bit to see if I can find a way to add some more detail-probably a silver like the central dial of the actual instrument that could be used as a small highlight. Though the base isn't the most conducive to more textures so I might be able to find a way to add more of a breakup within the main tan itself.

Pretty flat, to say the least.
