To texture or not to texture......

[BlkBullet23]

Ok, I've just finished building a head in blender and I want to throw down some texture. But I plan on adding a body to him in the near future.

So my question is..
Should I just do it now or wait until after the body is done?

This is my first model and I don't want to make things harder than it already is.
I already uv mapped the head but don't know whether to start coloring in the texture or wait for the rest.

the body of an ut char is build up with different parts (head, shoulder pads, boots ...) so i think its not a problem if the head has its own texture.

And the rest has its own texture as well or are they all in one? (Shoulder pads, boots ....)
