TD3376 Posted May 7, 2016 Share Posted May 7, 2016 Hello all dusty brothers, I'm Fabrice Jouglas TK3376, Garrison Tyranus I started to troop in the french Garrison with an FX armor in 2003 (i know, i'm an old trooper lol). After some years of intense trooping, i left France to live in Africa and i founded the Djibouti Outpost in 2007. It was the best moment to become a sandtrooper. At this time, i just add some weathering on the armor with some sand and i change the helmet to a fiberglass one. I had built a backpack, but it wasn't really good and not accurate at all. After that, i trooped in Tunisia in 2009 with the same armor. So, my armor have a long story and many trips... But now, the goal is to become an officer of the MEPD and a SWAT member ! I don't know if it will be possible with some FX parts, but i will try ! I've already changed some of them to AP (like AB plate, shoulders, helmet...) and cut some others to be good. I will need your expertise and you're expert eye ! Feel free to comment or give me some advices and tell me if i'm wrong. Thanks to all for your help !

TD3376 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 this is my old fiberglass helmet I find it on ebay some years ago... I keep it, and it will become a Battlefront magma trooper... but it's an other story ! This is my new helmet from Authentic Prop helmet kit. Weathering is not completly finished. it's just painted, i will add some sand next time. nose and ears are painted, but others parts are stickers. I will need to remove them to be police officer, these parts needs to be paint, right ? Even tubes stripes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD3376 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 - lenses are flat green, - hovi mic are correct (not from the AP helmet kit) - "S" rubber neck trim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD3376 Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 i made a system with little bolts and an ABS support for the lenses ! I use my old flat green lenses (who was very dark) and a new ones (clearer). I can change them easily ! The dark lenses are perfect for outside events, and the other ones for inside ! here are the clearer ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD3376 Posted May 12, 2016 Author Share Posted May 12, 2016 With the years i changed the AB plate, from a FX to an AP ! I kept the back FX plate with the new AP front plate and i will changed my old snaps system. Here is the final AB plate ! 6 rivets on the left and 1 snap on the right. kidney and butt plates are now seperated. Weathering is a first step by paint, sand will be added later ! Everything is correct for the moment ? Did i make mistakes ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
