Quick-Crit 2010

[=sw=warlord]

Been working on this for a while today, it's riddled with non-planars i know but at least i've managed to get this done quicker than i did with the halo 1 chief head i did a while back.
This is the first time i've used purely pictures for refference and scale on a head model.
Any crit on anything i missed would be would be good, please note i've intentionaly left out the thing on the top of the head as i plan on making that seperate.
E: and it helps to add the image.

Looks ok, but you should change some of the edges in the polies; the ones that split the polies into triangles. Some of them make the poly curve in, when it should be curved out. Just a thought...

Something about that tire looks very... odd...

That's because tires should have more surface area, not less, contacting the floor. It makes the tires impractical.

E: also tires need to flex a bit. you're tire is way too close to it's rim.

You need a front fender - that exhaust system is just way too exposed, especially with the driver's limited downwards field of view (which could also be fixed by trimming down the 'nose' on the front). Also, if you're going to have exposed (even if they are covered while the vehicle is in motion) electronics above the wheels, you should give the vehicle more protective wheel wells (to prevent flying debris from damaging the systems) and vertical coverings (to remove hazardous pinch points) along with proper steps and handles for whoever is using and servicing them. More steps and handles in general is a good idea on any vehicle - we use large trucks at my job, and it just sucks when it's harder than necessary to climb up to the cab or bed of the truck.

His reference. Also the front isn't symmetrical. the other window should be be a gun.

Yeah, I saw that in his post. I actually read the posts I'm critiquing to the fullest possible extent (ie: viewing linked material). If you had done the same, you'd realize why the light AA battery isn't there.
