Any suggestions on what should I do to improve this loadout or is it good as it is?
Planning to probably replace the headpiece though, but I don't know with what.[/QUOTE]
I think the headpiece fits great, it's the blighted beak that looks weird. The rest has a semi modern combat look to it, and then you've just got a dark ages plague mask out of nowhere

The headpiece is fine, but I'd almost suggest replacing the beak with the colossal cranium. IIRC it doesn't clip with that helmet and might make for some good winter goggles.

Well the reason why I picked the Blighted Beak was because of the fact I like how it fitted perfectly with the Physician's Protector and gave it a unique vibe. Plus I didn't want to use a generic mustache or some other facial hair like that, and other face-covering items either didn't really do it for me or had some noticeable clipping.

Although I have to admit the Unknown Man doesn't look that bad despite it's weird eyepatch clipping

Honestly it looks pretty good, and there is some clipping but it's extremely minimal.

Also while I was making this loadout, I noticed that the Colossal Cranium has the equip region of Glasses, Yet in TFMV it says it's incompatible with the Physician's Protector which I found odd.
There's plenty of options that look good with that helmet and armor

Blighted beak is really overused and rarely looks good, people just throw the bird mask onto loadouts where it makes no sense for some reason. In this case it's pretty jarring. The colors fit, sure, but it looks really silly to have somebody all up in WWI-lookin' combat gear with a plague mask on. If you really want to have medic's face covered I'd personally go for unknown man, there's a tiny bit of clipping but it fits the rest of the loadout really well. Otherwise the medicine manpurse is my favorite option.
Alright, this is starting to irk me.

Why is this a problem? Lots of hats are overused. Doesn't mean other people should be discouraged from using it.

Something something your opinion. I know he asked for opinions but this plays into what I'll say next:

It's because other people like it. Plague masks are distinct, and the TF2 ones in particular are very well done. They fit Medic as a character, they have great paint applications, and compliment other cosmetics very well.
Not every loadout has to fit a specific theme to the dot. If he likes Plague mask, let him rock the plague mask. He doesn't need to make it look like a generic army man #25.
I'm not trying to disparage anybody giving him suggestions but a lot of reasoning for the suggseted changes are "Blighted beak is weird and overused. use these other cosmetics that make him look even more generic"

Of course it's my opinion. He asked for opinions on his loadout. And in my opinion, you can mix a bunch of nonsense together to be more "unique" but that doesn't mean it looks good. I'd rather see somebody try something actually well thought-out instead of just kind of haphazardly mixing stuff that doesn't fit well together. It's not about strict themes, it's about avoiding stuff that clashes really heavily.
The blighted beak works best in loadouts that appeal to how plague masks are weird and creepy and archaic. Yeah they're distinct, but for a specific reason. You can't get the proper mileage out of that if you're just sticking it on a military guy. The reason the loadouts I posted were all "military guy" was because he literally posted "military guy but with a plague mask". You could come up with a lot of cool blighted beak loadouts that really capitalize on the strengths of that item but more often than not I see people just sticking it with other stuff that it doesn't work with. Here's some loadouts I came up with on the spot that take the plague mask "aesthetic" and try to work with it instead of ignoring it.

And all of that isn't to say I'm outraged at this loadout or something, if he likes it then by all means go for it, I'm just giving advise on what I think makes for a better loadout.
I will give you credit, his loadout was very military-esque. That being said, the Headpiece loadout in particular looks unique and the goggles work well with the other cosmetics.

Yeah the goggle loadout that was posted looks good with it too. I just really don't see the appeal of the beak on this one.
Looking for something to go with the Saxton and Macho Mann.

replace the macho mann with the carl and use it with the heavy lifter for a blatant saxton hale impersonator

Didn't really want to do full Saxton Hale, just a cool looking Heavy.
I wanna make a friendly heavy set for places like the trade severs I frequent or Lazy Purple's Silly Servers and have little idea of what else to put, something equally fluff that can go with the Tough Guys Tougue? And for a follow-up question, should I go with Circling Heart or Peace Sign on the Tougue? I'm leaning towards CPS but I want second opinions.

I would think the Piece sign would be more fitting over all. Torque is already I guess. But like all cosmetics I'd only really like it if you paired it up with two others that compliment a general look instead of just slapping whatever together. For friendlies though, tough guy torque is some what popular for that particular role. Not as big as the bird head though by any means at least.

That's pretty good, but what paint is that? Is it creme or orange? Also I wish the togue got a second style that painted the RED/BLU of the hat rather then the creme stripes.

Vote
(Vote based on what loadout sticks out to you the most, not what loadout works the most thematically. I'm bored and want to get an all-class loadout that'll be instantly recognizable)
EDIT: Just so it's clear, I will be painting the cosmetics (if applicable) to better fit color-wise.

Curious as to why so many people like the Modest metal loadout.

The glasses and the hat are really close together in a way that covers his forehead to give him this goofy sci-fi men-in-black kind of look that's unique. The present hat covers his head the same way but it's a present hat so it doesn't fit that look at all.

Long story short, I got 7 keys for 5.66 ref, then I bought an unusual with those keys, and THEN I decided to spend even more money to make a more or less fitting loadout. The Scorch Shot features Space Hamster Hammy on the visible viewmodel, and the Powerjack has the Reindoonicorn on the side facing the player.
Descriptions:
''Alien Rice Cooker'': ''Remnant of the Soyuz 1 crash. This was the talk of Karabutak, until the KGB came''
''A Shot For Space Hamster Hammy'': ''A toast, to the third best space marine, after Vladimir Bananas and Poopy Joe.''
''The Power of Jack the Reindoonicorn'': ''If you pick it up you'll see a Reindoonicorn, now without any Pyroland bullshit!'' (It's not a great series of names, but I got excited)
''The 5.66 Ref Unusual'': ''I got 7 keys for 5.66 ref. Instead of using it wisely, I went to space instead.''

It's not gonna be a Soldier only loadout and doesn't look like that on other classes, unfortunately
