TKDanYoung[TK] Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hey all, I am looking for some comments on my HWT before I submit my pictures next week. Built my pack (with full audio) rocking a T-21 and pouches from TD-8266 and my perdy white pauldron. Check out my finished troop pics from Celebration and my pack build pics. I am open to all comments! Keep in mind, I am 6'6" in armor lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Templar726[TK] Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 You are 6' 6" so rather than tell you I added yours to this pack summary pick. Slightly different. Still a dang nice looking pack! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TKDanYoung[TK] Posted April 21, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I should have read the CRL first. I really doubt this would get approved for HWT yeah? Edited April 21, 2015 by TKDanYoung Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still a dang nice looking pack! I'm a gentle giant lol it was an oversight on my part. I am VERY happy with my sandy pack though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) GREAT job on the pack, Danny! Not sure if it will pass HWT, though.. Apparently, the pack in the main HWT CRL photo is going to be changed to reflect the one pictured towards the bottom. Also, I would seriously consider adding some "blaster residue" to your armor. It only takes some charcoal dust, a ladies "blush" brush, and some hairspray to keep it on. (All easily removable with some Windex). For a perfect example of this, check out Tony's (ukswrath) HWT Centurion submission photos. He also has a great tutorial on building an HWT pack. But there is a major problem I see, though.... It looks like your T-21 could use some work.... If you want to send it to me, I can make the necessary changes, and have it back to you in about, oh, 3 years or so. Just kidding, outstanding job! I am jealous as hell! Edited April 21, 2015 by justjoseph63 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am jealous as hell! LOL thank you very much! My Squad Leader made the T-21, it's absolutely fantastic! Lights and sounds as well!! The pack was my first attempt and it was a rush build for Celebration, so I had about 4 days to knock it out. After trooping the pack all day Saturday at C7, the back of my armor looks like it's gone to war lol. I do plan on scuffing up the front a bit, maybe adding some blaster damage. I just realized too, I am VERY VERY close to Centurion approval (once the pack is finished). I just need to add the rivets tot he Ab/Kidney and the small cutouts and I'm there. I built everything else up to Centurion status. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justjoseph63[Staff] Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 First, you gotta' reach EIB, Danny! Do you have the correct rivets you need for the ab and kidney plates? If not, just PM me and I will send you some. Always glad to help out a future HWT! On a side note, I have found that one of those "Mr.Clean" white sponge things does wonders for removing light scuffs from your armor. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TKDanYoung[TK] Posted April 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 Thanks guys! I am going to try the Charcoal powder to add some weathering on Sunday and hopefully submit my pics shortly thereafter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ukswrath[Staff] Posted April 22, 2015 Report Share Posted April 22, 2015 (edited) Hey Danny looks like you've been given some great tips so far. If you want to know if your EIB ready post more pics here (same pics you would see in a EIB request thread). I would normally tell you to just post them on a new EIB request but as you already know your backpack wouldn't qualify unfortunately. So.. post detailed pics here so we can take a look see.
