Jet Pilot

Decided to start to model a pilot for my Hornet. Let's see if I can ever finish this one... Doing it whenever I have time or need a break from other stuff -> low priority :/

Started from the helmet:

Nice modelling, the only crit I have is the eyelids upper and lower, the edges look too soft and also the nose area where it meets the cheek, thats too sharp, if you look at your own nose the sides are more gradual towards the cheek. The mouth looks okay just needs teeth to stop him gaping. Keep it up!! Nice Crash Helmet!!!
