First Major troop fast approaching, been working on some minor upgrades re done all the padding in my bucket and finally installed the fans

Nice to see your aiming for centurion from the start, honestly it will make things easier in the long run

i used Humbrol Enamel #5 Admiralty grey, spent quite a while with cotton buds and thinners removing all the Anovos over spray first, then went for the re paint adding the small teeth at the ends they missed

Congratulations

Nice looking armour mate, you will probably get asked for better shots of your TD and close up of riverts on your knee ammo box<br><br> Whoops you already got the knee ammo box in

MY Bin is now ready for action thinking about starting a Garrison logo decal swap thread to help continue the coverage theme ------------

Done

Congrats and well done mate

well done mate, see you at centurion very soon I expect

it looks like you might be taking a bit much off the inner fore arm top return ??, but have a look in the build forum there are quite a few rs builds along with mine to aid you Crickets especially is very well documented and detailed

Hi Ruben, first thing have you got a build thread going yet it would be a more open forum for people to view comment and advise going forward, have you touched base with your local garrison ??

check out the electronics section in the armory most systems and set ups are covered in there, everyone seems to have their own personal preference myself i use TRamp good system and simple set up

Alright Joachim, as always nice set of RS. just handing over a few observations that were also pointed out to me on my journey. looks like your shoulder bell straps could be shortened just to pull them in a bit, white paint needs to come off cod piece rivet and i am very surprised to see what looks like allen head bolts on your TD from a commission build ??, these will probably need to be swapped out for dome head screws again painted black. but i am sure more experienced troopers will clarify these points. Good luck with your application mate

have you followed up again since SWCO i know its a pain but would just keep pushing now

Get yourself down sports direct sandico base layers ----------- They have leggings as well bit of acetone and elbow grease will,take the labels off

nice looking Armour , just one thing i believe your TD screw heads need to be painted black

picked this up last week the above mentioned 113 L fatmax fits in boot of my focus with parcel shelf still in place 91*51*43, I have RS which as stated is riveted also so some clever packing main amour and limbs fits, just sourcing separate bag for my bucket -----------

looking good mate, nothing to do with submission but i would add some felt strips to the metal clips on your TD last thing you want to do is start scratching up your Armour after all the good work

no real issues throughout my build normally quite responsive and helpful, like PBrimer said they may have had a lot on with SWCO have you got a commission or self build ??

can you post some pictures ?? with my shins although a self build i slightly increased the diameter of the holes and just opened out the hook slightly and everything seems to be holding fine

Congratulations Trooper

did your GML go to SWCO might be a reason why ? ?

Quite simply NEED !!!

its just time reading through all the threads, i have no real electronic experience so took the easy options (will cost a bit more overall though) got hooked up with ukswarth's fan set up on bracket and for voice now using tramp stand alone unit mounted in chest and wireless mic in bucket Simples

Looking good trooper, having just gone through All the approval stuff myself recently just minor observations, knee ammo box rivet needs to be painted white, make sure your belt ammo boxes are right in line with the edge of your belt (got pulled up on that). Sniper knee plate looks like it might be low on the top edge but can't quite tell from photo. But this is just knick picky stuff assuming your shooting for centurion. Good luck mate
