Swizzle, both of those hats are awesome. I think the engy hair could use a little bit of work making the headband type part mix with the strips going over the top, but otherwise it's looking nice. Definitely submit both of those!
Heres my next Block out. Spy this time. And if this hasn't already been done I'll eat my TF2 hat!...
Would be great if a false cigar could be included. Instead of the ciggy.
I've all pages on this thread and all models are so awesome. Especially the Heavy Elvis and that Spy Disguise with Moustache , lol.
What 3D Modelling software you guys use?
I was wondering about blender or XSI, is there another good one?
Thanks
I think that requesting my idea now might give you rival for the contribution spot if someone would like to do it, as it sorta builds on the same concept... so I think I'll refrain from making my hat request.
Thought I would take a stab at a tf2 item and wanted to do something that fit a class well. I looked up different types of engineer/mechanic hats and snagged a couple pictures of Goober Pyle's cap and thought it might fit the engineer well.
Let me know what you guys think
Name is open to be changed it just didn't seem right not naming a tf2 item.
You are much more likely just based on statistics alone to get chosen to be included in the game if you make a hat for scout, demo or sniper, who seem to not be getting as many.
I'm just waiting on a good idea before I make a hat. Need something small and easy to fit in between sleep and work.:)
Wow Swizzle This spy hat look really awesome
Sorry for that mockup, but I am raly hungry and that shape looked just like bi TACO
Anyways it could look funny if you spot spy leaning near corner
Well he already has that one hat.. and I'm sure a pint of ale on his head probably won't pass in the game ...
Well the one hat with the berries doesn't have anything to do with Oktoberfest really (At least I don't think it does). I did actually think of a mug of beer on his head but yeah that would just be stupid. There has to be something!
Well you guys convinced me on the medic helmet. Tried to make it different enough from the soldiers to be instantly recognizable as the medic.
I have a few designs I'm tossing around but right now I'm leaning towards the front logo design.
Any thoughts?

Looks great! I like the first and second one the best. If you have the room in the file upload you might as well just send Valve a PSD with all 3 variations and let them decide.
It does look nice, but I don't think it'll fly - it's still too similar to the Solly's helmet. You could try accentuating the ear and neck protection a bit. Looking at a few references, that seems like a common thing on ww2 era helmets, but I I suspect you'll need a more significant change to the silhouette for it to be acceptable.
Thanks for the comments guys, I made the ear part longer and included a silhouette of the medic VS Soldier. I think I made the medic helmet thin/straight enough that its pretty different from the soldiers, what do you guys think?
I liked the previous version NathanA. I wouldnt worry too much about silhouette tbh, since the soldier can wear a whole bunch of hats now anyway.. plus, have you seen tower of hats?
maybe a hat that say's " i'm with stupid >" - seeing he's always suporting the heavy?
meh - it's kinda hard
Haha I like this one but I'm not sure that would fly with Valve. It would be cool to have some way to mock the person your're healing. Maybe a healing gun that also allows you to jolt them so they rocket jump, could be used for griefing but I say let the medics have fun
Might be fun to have Heavies being blasted to the battlements in 2fort though :P
Hey guys, heres something i just started. Im going for an Iron man mark I helmet look. Since Iron Man started in the 60s i thought it would be appropriate. Also the new Engineer update helped inspire me.

I've always wanted a leash so that I can goad my heavy into running in the right direction.
Thats pretty awesome scudz. Thanks for the crit Jack, I'm trying to find a happy medium between original iron man and keeping the distinct Engi Sil, Any ideas?
The mad scientist hair and googles is spot on. I say focus on that one, nail the textures and you will be in Valves cool club for sure :P Especially since the gladiator helm might get nixed for not being 50s era style
Awesome hair Scudz. I'm not too sure about the helmet though. The back part feels a bit off to me somehow. It reminds me a bit of those helmets with the red hair mohawks which doesn't really fit in with the front of the mask. Maybe I'll like it better textured though.

LOVIN this guy! He reminds me soo much of the Exterminator from Over the Hedge
Great stuff man. The Bison hat for the Heavy looks great as well!

And yes, the portrait is team-colored. Red spies will have a Blu Scout's mom, and Blu spies will have the Red Scout's mom

I feel like the vein of "doctor hats" has already run dry, and I don't know what else you can do with the whole German thing

Plenty of german hat thingers.
Or possibly one of these:

Not so sure about the others though...
The Tyrolean have already been done, obviously. The cap is too modern. The soldier helmet seems to impose a little too much on Soldier's look.
The Nazi cap thingie... maybe...
I have seen it been done before though, so expect competition if you model it.
I have a few designs I'm tossing around but right now I'm leaning towards the front logo design.
Any thoughts?
sweet a headshot target
Makes him look like an alien.
Not sure what you could do about that though.
