Chiro

Out of curiosity, are you willing to sell the snout greeblie separately?

Spec Ops is developing the shoretrooper atm, jump over there

I disagree, even when I wasn't in the legion I looked for the differences between the best quality props/costumes, because while no one else would really notice the difference, I would and it would annoy me.

I'm studying to be a Chiropractor and and Chiro is short for it. Unfortunately the jokers at Redback Legion thought it looked too similar to the word Churro, so now I just get called Churro instead...

As soon as we confirm any part of the armour, I'm buying it, so don't tempt me!

I will, with blackjack and hookers! Actually, forget the blackjack

They. Were. Not. Sitting. In. The. Tank. They have a completely different colour scheme and different, although similar helmets.

Touche sir. Still....

That's what I thought, not white enough but who knows, there seem to be several pieces of armour on it that are very similar to the TK! Number one on kit orders? In all seriousness there are four dets this could reasonably go to, FISD, Pathfinders, Spec ops, and the outlier MEPD. So far, the Pathfinder det is split as to whther they want it, spec ops don't have it on their radar (they're all excited about the death troopers), MEPD seem happy to stay at one CRL if you follow their threads, which leaves FISD and Pathfinders as the main candidates. It will be an interesting few months, and hopefully we get some good photos of the armour soon!

Some on the Pathfinders are less than keen to have this. I think FISD or Spec Ops could have a good shot at it. This is at number one on my list.

Looks solid to me On an unrelated note, you might want to get yourself a pair of black nomex gloves and velcro the ABS hand plates onto them. From what I hear, trooping outside in the rubber gloves is not too pleasant

Great job, not sure if anyone from your garrison picked up on it, but your ab plate buttons are upside down. For ANH they should be this way I would also consider making an elastic strap connection between your forearms and biceps to stop your forearms from sliding down over your wrists. Do you have a strap between your butt plate and ab plate? This could help pull the butt in a little, to make it sit better in regards to the thighs

Looks good, I echo Sentry, remove most if not all of the return edge of the bottom of the biceps. gives you a better fit, less chance of armour bite.

Finally got approved! Will upload more of my build progress soon, and continue it on my path to centurion!

Thanks Haso, yes it is!

OK Photo's resubmitted. Much happier with them this time around! Complete with an awesome action shot! After this, I put foam in the shins and thighs to stop what was happening with them in the pictures

Oh gee, I've never heard that pun before!

Sent in my approval photos just before midnight! Here they are! There are already things I'm unhappy with, I guess that's where the OCD comes in. It's hot in there!

Time to paint the ears !!!!! Putting grey on first, figure it's easier to paint a black line onto grey than vice versa Glued on Sniper Plate Velcro on shins is done!

God these things are a pain..... Managed to get a bit done this morning before work. made some velcro attachments for my hand plates, sewing thread kept breaking :/ Got my ab/kidney snapped together Added snap to Ab plate Glued and painted buttons I also trimmed the ears and gave my helmet another paint job, trimmed my ammo belt, and glued lots of webbing :s

Just fyi guys, I followed your advice and connected the kidney to the butt plate and then remeasured. I did end up cutting a sloped line, there was no way around it, otherwise the butt plate slipped

After I slept off some jet lag (I went to Paris for a week) I went to work on my armour. I ended up cutting a tapered line on each. I took off 25mm from the top and 12.5mm from the bottom. How does it look? Still need to cut the notches out of the kidney, and my split rivets arrived, so I might just do that now. Measured up the back/chest. Going to cut to about the green lines. Sitting roughly where I want it

Thanks !!

Hey guys, Just wondering is trooperbay is on this forum and what his screen name is? Trying to get in touch with him. TIA
