I think you should change the bugle. Just my opinion

this is so f***ing solder

and actually my idea is that the fence would be empty at first and then it would fill heads as the meter fills, then a idk kinda buff

i just made a guide of how i do it you can check it and tell what am i doing wrong

The model it self looks good, but I think the textures (besides the heads' and blood) could be improved on. The wood and trumpet look very bland, like textures rendered on low graphic settings and don't give me the feeling of what material they're made of.

For the wood I'd suggest you take an example from the already existing wood textures in TF2 such as the fences', walls', or weapons'. The trumpet I think could use more colour (1 more could be enough) so we can tell the parts of it apart like the buttons, rings and the mounthpiece, because now it looks like a single piece rather than an assembly.

Too gross? I'm pretty sure these head models are actual models that Valve made for Meet the Soldier.

great idea! I would love to see this ingame!

I think it is a bit too gross for the game.

Also the flag looks a bit thick.

If you could updatehte horn model to be less flat looking and (yes, actually) less cartoony then it'd be an amazing item.

But, the heads wear a red soldier helmets...

Amazing Item! maybe if it has an unusual varient it could be on one of the heads.

Would not mind if it was a skin for the buff banner actually.
