For a model of this polys ( which is pretty high for an ingame character ) change the hands, they look like balls of steel
I suggest you donwload an image of a human and place it in the background to look at the proportions of the body, cause they are ugly
Make a clear difference between front and back, I didn't see a difference at first
Make the gloves bigger, else yu won't even notice them in the game
Enlarge the Shoulder Pads, they are now like sticking to the clothing

Hope this helps

Improve wrap on the chest asap.
1000 polies are okay now that the max importsize is 8mb.
proportions are good ... but if this is a wc3 model, I'd recommend making it more chunky.

It looks tubiform his head looks like a lego dude head.
Hands are way too small.
Thigh should be bigger than his legs.
Chest should be bulkier and bigger than his hips.

The Hands are Temporally and I've just updated the legs and thighs now, and made a slight change to the Chest, I'll be updating the Wrap soon, and making the Plate body more Heavier, and Medieval Plate Like, Thank god I have loads of Pictures from Medieval Armoury's from a few years ago when I went to loads,

Thank you for the Feed Back, and I'll get working on the faults.

If you have World Of Warcraft use WoW Model Viewer and export some screenshots of for example the HumanMaleGuard to see the correct proportions, the helmet, the shoulderpads, the gloves , etc... this should give you a good example

Good luck

Lol, what a shame not long un-installed WoW, But thanks for the idea, I know a site where I can find a WoW Model in a mdx format so I can take a look at it in magos,

Chest, elbows, ass; NO ASS ? , lego head, knees. I think you should improve those things.

 

[robot-dude]

The Head is designed around a Crusaders Helmet,

I understand I've missed the following

-Feet
-Rear

The following are being updated within the UV-Wrap and Geosets:
-Chest
-Elbows
-Rear
-Knee's
-Helmet (To match a Crusaders Helmet Even more)
