excellent work matej, looks like you really know your stuff

@bedslouki & acc24ex, thank you guys!

Now thats an awesome looking helmet! Will be nice to see where this project is going, keep up the good work!

Thank you Populus. I'll post some updates in a few days...

EDIT:
Actually, here's a fast wip of yesterdays work; worn-out gloves for the army guy. Don't look a the battle dress, it's still very unfinished...

Envy alert!!
Magnifico Matej!

Nice work, I am going to build an M16 in Lightwave one day....hope it looks this good!

Awesome details! How many polygons for the scene this far?

Hey guys, thank you for your comments!

@Populus, the scene so far is ~510k tris in Octane (with the helmet's face protection cover a little more, say ~550k), while the whole memory usage is ~360 MB. I try to be as conservative as possible, since I have still a lot of things to add (rifle, boots, tactical vest, pouches, an environment,...). If there will be RAM left at the end, I can still bake higher resolution normal maps and so give a bit more details to the model.

Current WIP of my Spetsnaz guy. The gear & vest is mostly done, it just need some minor corrections. The rigging & skinning was a pain, because the model is composed of various separated parts that are layered (its wearing a tactical vest over the BDU, knee pads, etc.). But I learned a few tricks on the way, so that's a plus. I still have to do an environment and if time permitting (and the competition won't be canceled ) some additional gear. Critics are welcome.

i admire your precision and skill, looking forward to see the entire scene
