Apologies for the delay, I been making screen accurate changes and building a new authentic back pack with loads of original parts.

I taken the feedback onboard and hopefully I'm ready...

I've done some comparison photos for you to easily compare the original screen shots with my build with lots of arrows pointing to the compared parts.

I've also updated full armour shots as requested.

Thanks.

The back pack is my latest edition.

The seed trays are authentic, Tupperware desert bowls, original siphon at the correct angle, real cartridges, authentic tool box with a lip on the back edge and an original Karrimor frame from the 70s, authentic canteen, Tupperware radar dish, no bolts holding the seed trays, accurate vinyl tape and correct colouring.

There a lot more too and I've added some more detailed photos.

It's really comfortable to troop with too.

Working radio with two channels, one with a patrol loop and the other with cantina music!

I've attempted to replicate as much detail as possible to make it the most accurate I could with all the angles, height differences and comparisons to the original.

I'm glad you like it.

Hi Chris!

You have done a great job so far and I am very impressed that you have decided to completely re-do your backpack in strive for even more accuracy. Also congrats on your find with the syphon, we all know these things don’t just grow on trees. Same goes for the weapon; these original parts have become more and more expensive over the years but as Keats said ‘a thing of beauty is a joy forever’ ;-)

But let’s continue your review…

Although this is one of the all-time favorite SWAT troopers it remains particularly challenging to emulate all the subtleties we can see on the high-res screenshots. However, you have mastered this challenge well - a fantastic replicate of the helmet here, Chris!

Fantastic looking pack bro and kudos for taking the long road here. However one thing is “sticking out” and that’s the length of your mortar tube compared to the backpack itself as well as the trooper. Please shorten it by about 4cm. If necessary for the overall proportions you might need to shorten the lower wet wipe bottle a bit, too.

This should be an easy fix and I’m looking forward to welcoming you to the ranks soon!

Thanks so much for the update and i've completed the mod to the mortar tube.

Here are some before and after photos of the pack :td:

I took off 4cm exactly and referred to some of the screen shots for accuracy and measurements to other parts of the pack.

This soooooo exciting.

Chris, It is my honor to officially activate you as the SECOND SWAT Officer of 2016!

Your hard work and your attention to detail on your build has been carefully evaluated and inspected. You have met all the requirements to place you among the MEPD's Finest.

Thank you for your patience throughout this process, but you can now take your place amongst the SWAT Troopers! Well done.

Congratulations on successfully taking the next step as a proud member of the SANDTROOPER ELITE.

Thanks so much and I'm honoured to be part of the MEPD SWAT Elite!

When I started my journey 10 months ago on becoming a Sandtrooper, this achievement was my goal from the start.

So many hours were spent, researching, building, detailing, redoing what's not perfect (many times) and persevering was so worth it. Making so many new friends along the way and some great relationships.

Trooping with my Garrison, being part of the action and raising lots of money for charities is just the best!

This certainly isn't the end of that journey either, rather just the start of a new one, helping and supporting my fellow troopers achieve their dreams.

Thanks everyone and Long Live the Empire

Hi Chris,

Congratulations for your SWAT application! You did a fantastic job and I love your details.

I'm sorry not to finalize your submission but a very good friend of mine died last week and my thoughts were

Totally by my dead friend and not here in my second home base- sorry for that!

Enjoy your new level dude and we will meet us in the cantina...

Take care bro and Cheers from Kissimmee/Florida

Felix
