very insperational, great to see so much detail in the model.

Wow that's amazing. If you don't mind me giving some comment, though, I would think that the visor would not be the same color as the rest of the helmet, but a little bit transparent. Alos the metallic circles look great, but they are too flat. I know (or assume) you probably dont want to make them stick out completely, but a tiny bit off bump wouldn't hurt. Every thing else looks amazing, especially the scratches and stuff and the shininess looks great too. Keep it up!

all the surfaces have bump maps. obviously, the visor will not have any of the little circles bumped... its a smooth surface.
this is just a screen grab of the view ports. user added image

the visor does not need to be transparent for visibility.

its infared and/or has a hud on the inside [.... i think :p ]

That head, if he had eyeballs, I would have told you to stop taking and posting pictures of real people. Thats amazingly photorealistic, fantastic job.

Nice head!

The coloring of his nose looks pretty funny, though. He looks like he has a cold or runny nose =D !

Mabey that is intentional though. Great work, keep it up!
