would be nice with a better bottom (a bit extruded on the sides) and then a small rim where the bullet changes from canister to round. and lastly a bit rounded cord instead of the break in the end. idk if you will be able to fix these issues. but would make it look better tbh.

Sure, I can do all of that probably. I'm not sure about the cord, but the rest I can definately do.
Now, as for the rim where the bullet exchanges - Do you mean where the projectile connects to the shell (as in the bottom part), if you do, there isn't a rim there at all on projectiles, the projectile is just jammed (sort of speak) into the shell. However, the every top (where I have semtex-H material) does often have a rim. I actually began to add the rim while making the skin, but I decided against it (I forget why).
How, I haven't added the rim yet, but what does everyone think of the dimensions of this (frontal length vs mid length vs bottom length, overall fluidity, etc.)


EDIT 2 - Ok, I like this one the most. I found a picture of an Australian EOD guy strapping an incendiary to a 105mm projectile and I based it off that.

Looks a bit too slim compared to the length IMO.
Something like this could look better.

I agree tupla, it does look a little long for it's diameter; however, no matter how many reference pictures I use, the actual dimensions are proportionally correct, but math's not what counts, it's how it looks. So, I probably will shorten it up.
Col., it could be a weird angle, use the top left picture in the quad to determine if you think it should wider. I personally agree that it should be less pronounced and a wide end would do that.

maybe this can help you

I've actually been using that picture constantly. I even used it to get a texture for the cord on the IED.
Ok, I've reskinned the artillery shell so it looks more like it had sent a couple days burried underground. Also, I changed the proportions on the artillery shell. As of this picture, the object is about the diameter of a PR US Army soldier's arm, and it is about 3/4 the length of the arm (from shoulder to hand).

What do you guys think now?

Cellphone looks like an IPod no offense but sweet looking model so far!!

Yeah that is probably my only point aswell

Well it is supposed to be like a non-flip phone and the electrical cord probably helps make it look like an IPOD. Would it help if I made the phone black instead?
Edit - Like this...

If I call that phone # will you answer? Maybe the insurgent put marker #'s on the duct tape so he knows what button is below on the cell phone, and give it the 4 bars to show it has good service for a sweet detonation Also, I know it's not ready but you should make the base color OD Green again, and later down add some sand/mud and dents. I hope this didn't come out wrong, it's a sweet idea.

Naw, that sounds ok, I totally forgot about bars. And I probably won't pickup.

i think that we need a clay render maybe, would probably help to estimate how well it looks

I think the phone should be the old fat phone thats in PR now... That just looks a bit too nice and clean and modern... BUT, I havent exactly seen too many IED's phones

Other than that, awesome I think it looks really cool. Could potentially be a mine type placement for a class, like you can only set it while prone, etc.

More like this?:

Exactly

Ok, sounds good with the phone.
I was planning on having it be just a really big boom, and I'll get another comparison shot up after I remodel the phone.

Yeah that's better.

Ok, here's the phone itself:


And, here's the comparison:
