We start by inspecting the reference photos to understand how thick our carrying handle should be. Taking all of the parts we have built so far and using extrude to add thickness to them. We must be careful as there is a small amount of thickness and if we add too much, parts will start to interpenetrate. If we have parts fitting too tightly this is when we would make those adjustments.
Using a mixture of projection mapping, pelt mapping, welding, and aligning UV islands to unwrap the main body and create UVs that can be textured in accordance with the reference photos. Once unwrapped we can leave them unpacked and we will pack them later.
Using pelt mapping to unwrap and flatten out the handle for proper UVs paying attention to how the handle split up to create a continuous UV island that will work with our textures and in accordance to the reference photos. Once unwrapped we can leave them and we will pack them later.
Using projection mapping we can unwrap this part quickly, then use weld and relax to create a continuous UV island. Once unwrapped we can leave them and we will pack them later
