Hey guys, I've been wanting for someone to mod this into the game, but since no one has taken up the mantle, I figured that I would make one myself. I'm sure many of you are familiar with the Half-Life series and the iconic H.E.C.U. marines that players had to fight in order to survive Black Mesa. I was toying around with model swaps and saw that mixing Leon's regular police outfit with Hunk's gas mask and helm would make for a perfect fit to recreate them.
{H.E.C.U. Marines}  I'm very close to done with my initial work, giving the marine a solid olive colored helmet with the green and urban camo variants to be worked and released later. Right now, I'm just having trouble trying to align the H.E.C.U. patches on the shoulders. For some reason, they don't line up according to the original texture that I was using as a base. Their actual UV maps are off the left. Shouldn't be too much of an issue, and if I can't fix it up just right, I'll still release them anyway for everyone to enjoy. There will also be versions with no visible eyes - I just wanted to add that in just for laughs. Note that I'm not going for an exact 1:1 recreation from the games nor am I all that familiar with military uniform codes. I simply wanted to resemble the original marines with my own little touch on the side, but that doesn't mean I'm not open to any suggestions.

regarding the eyes, i think they're a bit far apart.
also, are you able to make a black version of the eye lens like this?   i just need the texture file. i'd make it myself but i only have photoshop c3

Yes, I've been trying to tinker with the positioning. It involved some trial and error due to their UV placement, but I do have them closer together in my current build. And sure, after my first release, I can work on giving them just dark eye lenses.
looks totally awesome. Please ditch the eyes though.
Don't worry. Like I mentioned, there will be two versions upon release; one with eyes and the other without. I just added them there because it felt nostalgic.

Something to know about the helmet - I'm waiting for permission to release the assets for it. It's not a simple matter of using Hunk's helmet, this model happens to use its own custom texture, which I tweaked, leaving Hunk's helmet untouched. Otherwise, I'll have to find a way to recreate the same process somehow or simply resort to using Hunk's helmet anyway. I'll still be releasing the uniform textures regardless.

Looks good, it's a shame you can't model the helmet camo cover.

Good news, I've received permission to release it with the helmet assets. Thanks to Crazy Potato! I'll be doing some final touches to it and release it in the next few hours.
