nice work on the "Mitznefet".

which figure did you use as the base for the conversion?

is the head a Hornet head?

by the large unussual backpack I guess it's going to be a Lebanon dio, right? what are you planing to do with it?

Looks good so far.
Can you fill us in on the purpose of the helmet cover?

Al,

the Mitznefet (Hood) is used to break the symetric and unnatural shape of the helmet and thus aid the soldier in blending better with the landscape and background in the field.
