Personally i would like TF Industries i find the Mann. CO to be over used in custom models
[QUOTE=Stizzles;22556623]Sorry for late reply, but here is what I think:
Use the first one, but add details to make it battle hardened/worn out, for example:
-scratches/dents
-tape (slight protection/to hold the gun together)
-missing pieces (screws/bolts that are missing and leave holes, -for example)
-improvised fixes
-welded/bolted metal plates to the gun to protect the broken parts
-etc. :v:
because the broken stock would just look painful to wear, and a bit weird.
The broken barrel might work, but preferably broken in a different way other than "omg i shot so hard my barrel exploded lolz"[/QUOTE]
and dirt
[QUOTE=Smashman;22556537]Lovely, but I don't like the Mann Co.
Perhaps you could browse here: [url=http://www.tf2wiki.net/wiki/List_of_companies]List of companies[/url] and find another, less used company, but personally nothing is better.[/QUOTE]
Agreeed. Mann co is over used.

Binksi Logging, would be more appropriate considering your theme is carpentry.

Damn it, why is fpsbanana.com down all the time? I need my daily mod fix!

Thanks for nice pointers. I'm still going for broken stock as heavy doesn't use it, it just goes under his arm so it should work.

Binski Logging is a BLU-affiliated company. It wouldn't work out when the helmet gets put on a RED player. The RED variant of Binski is "Binski Paper Co.", which doesn't quite fit.
Personally, I'm just fine with Mann Co. Valve has stated countless times that the characters get a lot of their gear from Mann Co. and "Mann Co." is already imprinted onto one of the in-game weapons. I don't think "Mann Co." can be "overused" when it's only currently in one place in the entire game. Overused because a lot of people have used it on custom skins, maybe, but the game itself certainly isn't oversaturated with it.

Just write Binksi then?
I'm just saying Mann co doesnt have to make everything
EDIT:
OR what about General Industries Co.
it has no team preference

You could still go with Binksi Logging, just cut the logo/text out of the file and either make it black/gray or team-coloured.
Someone replace the Solly's shovel with the pig on a stick.

Or replace Equalizer, and have the Shovel on fire.
I was also thinking about Casali Shafting, General Industries or Driller, it's not affilated with any team. Who knows, maybe they also make stuff for carpenters.
Broke my automerge
Sorry Uzi.

I really don't think it would matter. I'm more concerned with the fact that logging really has nothing to do with carpentry.

Make up a company.
Ok I thanks everyone for the logo recommendations I'll try a couple out.
I've got an idea for a bat replacement:
[img]http://dsales.co.uk/images/Rolled_newspaper.jpg[/img]
Every freakin' dumbass can kill with a baseball bat. To kill someone with a piece of rolled newspaper - that's something only real Scouts can do!
This would work just perfectly with Ye Old Baker Boy.
thats been done like 3 times already.
Then clocks please.
A link would be nice too :P
"extra extra, gonna beat ya head in chuckle nuts"
But anyhow, i remember that being done before i think
but the textures may of been awful. i forget tho
[QUOTE=Drax-Quin;22555845]Yuh the whole earbuds thing really annoyed me because Valve keeps advising people to put items in game that match with the 50's yet items they put in don't, I guess it's more to help people so they don't go insane and make sci-fi items.
Then again there weren't aluminum baseball bats in the 50's, the first aluminum baseball bat was made in the 1970's.[/QUOTE]
the game is in 68 so its pretty close enough to 1970
Perhaps it was WIP and never finished. I dunno I can't remember seeing it on FPSBanana or Emporiums...
Good idea HwGull I'd like to see how'd you'd go about modeling it, and yes it would go great with Ye Old Baker Boy ^^.
Anyway great news I just managed to increase the texture resolution on bloddy SDK Model Viewer so you won't have to put up with bloody fuzzy low rez logo's when I post the screenshots.
needs MOAR
If I recall correctly, somebody is already making it for the polypack contest.

Wow, that'll teach me to refresh the page.
You can always make up your own company, and not only contribute new hat, but something that valve could use in future updates
something like this

I redid some smoothing:

TF2 font isn't and shouldnt be used within the actual game.
[QUOTE=LiLBliNg;22558781]TF2 font isn't and shouldnt be used within the actual game.[/QUOTE]
that was an example
also why not
you aren't even going to notice if you put such a logo on that small helmet with low texture resolution
also I couldn't find any more tf2ish font to use ingame

Not to say that it's the same; just to say that it seems like better use of a newspaper.

Holyshit that's awesome.
The Scout isn't British though, thus cannot enjoy fish and chips.
