Yes, what do you mean ?!

camarades, you don't want to know

Great work on the kit Got to agree that the helmet looks a little weird.

A few ref pics if you want, although you probably have enough as it is.

I think they're all Mk7..

Mine detector, has no real use but will be strapped onto the Engineers daysack for show

Textures are still very wip!

appreciate the idea, but have you discussed the minedetector with the devs?

The mine detector is an excellent addition that will help denote the Engineer without involving the Ministry of Silly Hats.

You can take my silly hat from my cold dead hands!!!

I like the mine detector as well, denotes his role well - and has future potential maybe.

Troops have been dying their own camouflage. Still original camouflage, just modified by the troops themselves.

I guess they are really looking forward to teh new british camo then if they are already putting in the effort to dye their own stuff to be more greeny.

Wow I love & hate seeing stuff like this. Love it because I'm in absolute awe at the skill demonstrated by people the world over, and hate it because I so dearly wish that I could contribute in meaningful ways like this but have ragequit trying to make a chess set in max twice already... doing weapon models and such would probably result in my monitor being taken outside and shot repeatedly (because I love my actual box too much to do it harm )

just to source this point, for any one interested:

Unfortunatly the uvs of the player model are aweful so ive had to work my best around this. With that said many of these errors will be overcome by simply disguising them with pouches etc
