I just really hate the pudding bowl helmet lol!
Well I have been thinking about keeping the old helmet, as it is still in use, and will be for a while to come. I Havnt begun work on the new helmet model yet because I am focusing primarily on the molle pouches etc for the time being. Once I have a variety of these layouts complete then the work on the helmets are next on my list ;)

It certainly is, great work chap.

Little thing that first drew my eyes towards it is the 4 puches on his front all being identical. if you look at this, you can see 1 of the puches has its texture mirrored to break up the repetitiveness.

Keep it up. :thumbsup:

Do you guys think that I should give these guys the new camo then??

Ive already created the old camo variation so wont hurt creating the new one too :lol:

And dont worry, I am going to create another texture for them pouches just to add variation because like you say it looks a little too identical.

Thank you for the support guys :wink:

but I can't help but to think the helmets make the heads look like mushrooms :o ops:

also, can someone post a side by side comparison of the new kit geometries and the old one?
The helmets have the nickname pudding bowls.
