Anyway, the connection from the visor, to the protruding part on the top of the helmet, need to be harder. Use the partial crease option in the sub-d's menu set, or add 2 close lines to the original edge.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Something else struck me as odd... I would think that with all that body armor, that the model would have gloves/gauntlets on. That would let you drop out the fingernails.
Look forward to seeing it textured and rigged. Keep up the good work.

i got kinda carried away really with adding detailto the hands...
its the very first human model that im doing, and ive read loads that people find it hard to model the hands... so i just wanted to see what i could come up with, im quite pleased with the results so far... still have a little work to do on the thumb tho. what you think??
i think i mite end up giving him half a pair of gloves that end half way down his hand, not sure tho...

The armor looks to soft too. Heres a picture of what it should be like.

But enough about the thumb. When do you think you'll be ready to texture? That will make or break this model. It has great potentional.
