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.

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
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
