  2. Another HWT Backpack From Spain

    in HWT Build Threads

    That should be ok. The round container looks a little tall but should be good. The buttons from the screen grab looks square not round and the three arch's look pointed where they should look half round instead. These are only my observations. Looking good though and love the progress!

    Thanks Magni! I have changes the top buttons and boxes, will get a pic up tomorrow - been busy finishing the armor for Expert/Centurion level :)

    Are you using the clear part outward and lid against pack? How does that box size up with others on pack?

    Hi Magni! Yes, clear part upwards and it sizes up more or less like the BF pic posted by Allan1313 above. I am going for the smaller pack compared to others. Will get some sizing pics up this weekend so you folk can give me some input, but I feel it's going to look good ;)

    In my opinion the scale is a little off. The top part of the box I think the borders need to be a little slimmer and the bottom should have a little more "space" inside the borders.

    Here is a screenshot for reference:

    All that being said, its probably still passable. Again these are just my opinions and all that really matters is your GML.

    I just used pcs. Cut from the same pipe. I cut three 1/2" rings for the raised ribs and a pc. For the main control pad. The curve matches right up. Took about 15 mins to cut all the pcs. down.

    Magni, I'm useless at Tapatalk - have you got a build thread?

    Pretty sure you have as I believe we have talked recently, but I can't find it to see a pic of your antena :(

    That's a nice looking pack that Bowman built! I noticed that he did not use a ribbed shoulder bridge on the vertical black tube, though. While not necessarily a requirement, I feel it is an integral part of the pack. I didn't have one to spare on my build, so I ended up making one out of spare ABS I had, and it worked out fine. Best of luck on your build, Tom, and if I can be of any help just let me know, future HWT!

    Thanks for your reply!

    Are you referring to this piece below? I just realised this was his initial pack and added later, not sure how I can recreate this as cash is running low - any help on understanding how you did it?

    Hi extended family!

     

    This will be my HWT backpack build thread, so I hope I can get as much help from you as possible!

     

    My backpack will be on the smaller side compared to others in an attempt to recreat the BF series where they actually carry a thermal detonator underneath the pack.

     

    I would really appreciate as much constructive criticism as possible.

     

    I am basing my build on Bowman's backpack (colleague from the Spanish Garrison) and input from Tony's build thread (ukswrath). Bowman's pack is shown below :)df581dcb5378c80b966705cc88d1c337.jpg

  17. SDS Battle Spec Armour

    in FISD Expert Infantry Badge (EIB) Requirements

    Posted

    Hey,

     

    I recently purchased a set of Battle spec armour from Sheperton Studios. Had no intention of wearing it, just to look cool in my games room, Then i found out about this place... it all changed!

     

    just the one question really... (for now)

     

    The battle spec is made from Satin finish ABS where as the original (and more expensive) is made from Acrylic Capped ABS, Can the Battlespec be used for EIB or an i out of the game before i start?

     

    I can post pics later to show what i mean

     

    Cheers

     

    Paul

    Hi Paul, SDS is very popular in yhe Spanish Garrison and we have at least 10 Centurions! This is a fantastic armor that some people talk down about :(

     

    If I can help in any way, let me know! I will be requesting EIB this week :)

    The problem with the SDS armor is that EIB is as high of a level as you can achieve due to the methods of construction. The adhesive is a plastic Insta weld so taking it apart to correct it will only do damage

    There are plenty of Centurions in the Spanish Garrison with an SDS and it requires no more carefulness than other armors - let's keep the facts as facts :)

    Hello from sunny Spain!

     

    What a great time to start trooping under 34C

     

    Nothing much for me to say, this is a dream come true and I have fallen for my colleagues from the Spanish Garrison! What a wonderful bunch of people :)

     

    Got 2 missions under my belt in 2 weeks, have another 2 over the next 72h, absolutely loving it!

     

    It's great to here with my new extended family!
