That is some nice uv mapping there brother! Not over complicated and easy to understand what is what. Damn! I wish mine were that nicely laid out.
Man you work fast too! Keep it up.

Thanks surfer, they didn't take too long thank goodness, now I got to try and create a texture.

I work on it during lunch and as soon I get home, I wish I had a whole day for it.
