deadvision Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 May want to talk to mtk. I got his kit recently and it's very similar to ata. It has the accurate detailing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FIVE Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 There are many troopers that are SWAT and do not have these modifications. How come? Dutchy is right. If you don't see it on the film for your trooper you don't have to have it. For example, I'm probably using ATA for my "Stop This Ship" build I won't have to have the "dent" in the long rectangle because you never see it on his armor in the film. He's covering it with his gun. See? I helped create the SWAT program with that very idea in mind. The object is to copy what's on screen... NOT what we "know" is on the armor. Otherwise you're copying strapping and stuff. That help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iconoclasta_88 Posted January 10, 2015 Share Posted January 10, 2015 Yes. The idea is to copy what we see on screen for a specific trooper in a specific scene. But truth is, most swat troopers have done that and more, modifying the armor how they think it should based on the overall knowledge we have on armor. So, if you study the submission threads progressively, you will see how things change from one to the next one. Because everyone wants to go a bit further. So the swat requirements are now almost guidelines cause most submissions go further. I think Bluey got it right (in a post I can't seem to find now) by saying he would make the mods even if we can't see it on screen. For me that is both the swat program (what we see) and the swat attitude (what we actually achieve). Btw, I modes my armors an plate using a lighter to heat the plate from behind and then gently pushing a AA battery into it to get the dimple. Then used the bit on the other side of the battery to push the simple back from the front and get the little hole on the middle of it. You can see that and others structural mods made to my TE2 armor on my Swat thread. Isn't this program awesome?! Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
