As of Monday morning I’m am now “Deployed”! Thanks to everyone for help and encouragement! Feels pretty awesome! Now time to share information with everyone!

How’s the weight with the aluminum braces?

Here is my set-up; I used a Mil-spec belt, it’s stiff so it stays in place... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I was able to get the RAL 7031 in flat from www.lvppaints.com. Hope this helps.

Wow! Thank you very much! Thanks for everyone’s help!

Thank you!

Ok...got to troop this last weekend at Anime Conji 2019. Did two days 6+ hours each day and I can say it was pretty awesome! I feel...complete now LOL Final thoughts...other than replacing the bottles with more screen accurate ones, the 3D printed radar dish with an actual Tupperware lid, repainting the gloss grey RAL 7031 with a flat RAL 7031 (sourced from www.lvppaints.com), and adding switches from Sonix World I would have to say I am very impressed with Crook Knights kit, and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to any other fellow MEPD trooper looking to add the most essential of gear...The Backpack! On a side note I’ve trimmed/thinned down my sniper plate to be more screen accurate and as soon as I weather my silicon hand plates on my rubber gloves I’ll be submitting for “Deployment”!

Patrol #33 Anime Conji 2019 (Day 2) Test trooped with my pack and it was awesome! Was able to go 6+ hours each day with no issues! I feel a request for Sandtrooper deployment thread coming soon?! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Patrol #32 Anime Conji 2019 (Day 1) Best part of the day was meeting the daughter of TrooperBay owner! Awesome photoshop from a fellow MEPD trooper, Rob Macaulay! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

How’s this? Acrylics, dry brush technique... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Ok...was thinking of going over the canvas with an acrylic wash to dirty them up.

Ok...mounted completed radio to pack, and after adding some tape to “hold it together” here it is! Crook Knight Pack #3 Really had fun with the build, and Shawn was super easy to deal with! Also shout out to Tony for the radio parts...Grazie! If anyone has any questions, please feel free to ask. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got back from Phoenix Fan Fusion... So some of this might be a repost (my apologies)... Radio: I received most of my internals for the radio...MP3 board, 4ohm speaker... Mounted speakers using wire and cut a Pringle’s can for the tube... A fellow Chief (ETC Type) soldered my slide switch and my speaker wire for me... Glued switch in place and packed the hole with ABS paste... Using spray adhesive and rivets for the feet I wrapped it with the provided pleather... I started on the 8-pin din side and screwed it down so I could stretch the pleather tightly around and riveted the feet in place... After that, I mounted the carry strap mounts and antenna... I then weathered it using acrylic... Twisted a length of wire using a drill, and...Tada!! I loaded up 8hrs of TD Chatter, which should get me through most events! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
