CG Talk/Networks, they really do show off some great talent out there. Keep this coming, looks promising.

Oh if you need to make stars in Photoshop:

Create File, fill with noise (mono chromatic) at 999 then go to Filter>Stylize>diffuse and hit darken> apply, then repeat darken till happy..... Then add a sprinkling of , oops sorry thats Delia Smith!!!

It kinda looks to me like with the head in there the angle that the helmet is pointing would obstuct a lot of his vision. and it kinda looks like it would be uncomfortable. But it is a great model and I can't wait to see it done.
