Phoenix Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 1. Name: Todd Ruggeri2. 501st TD ID: TD-88473. MEPD Forum Name: TK88474. Garrison: Dune Sea Garrison, Arizona (a.k.a. Tatooine)5. Reference: Road Captain 'Move Along' Good afternoon, I am requesting deployment with the MEPD here in Phoenix, Arizona (a.k.a. Tatooine). Please see the attached photos for consideration. As a current Homicide Detective, this will be a pretty cool membership and prestigious organization to be a part of if I am approved. As such, I'm looking forward to joining your ranks - I'm ready for the critiquing to begin... Respectfully, Todd Ruggeri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Looks very nice. The only thing that I had a hard time seeing was your 6 rivets on the left and the single male rivet on the right. Also, you'll want to include a shot of your butt/cod and the snaps there. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Need to paint those split rivet heads white. Looking good! Get those missing detail photos posted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD42115 Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Looks great. good job on weathering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Dude, totally digging the weathering! Looks awesome!! Couple of things I see: 1. Your gonna need to paint the rivets white as was mentioned before, and I am gonna assume you need to paint the rives on the ammo belt on the thigh to, easy fix 2. Your pack looks awesome! But your thermal det. plate is too long. You will likely need to shorten it. Depending on how it is attached, should also be a easy fix. Also, I think the tube should be attached to look more perpendicular to your person. But that could be subjective 3. Your belt seems a bit low to. You may need to move your snaps, but it will look much better if it sat higher in the front right at the bottom of the center ab square you'd be golden Only small stuff I see. Your kit looks great man! Good luck!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
