Hi Ben!

Thank you for your interest in joining the elite and submitting your request for SWAT OFFICER

activation.

Your gear is on spot and your emulated trooper is immediately recognizable.

You are definitely on the right track though....

This trooper is the most difficulty one! Why? First of all we just have few pictures from his cantina scene BUT we have a lot of Pictures of his helmet (in detail) and his armor. Secondly our SWAT memebers #39 Strider and #44 Felixdario raised the bar very high.

As stated before, we always stress patience during this process as we pay more and more attention

to fine tuning with each new SWAT applicant. The MEPD Senior Commanders and myself will give your

armor a full inspection and review. Some details may definitely be missed and re-checked, but we will try

to catch them on every pass given until you are cleared and ready to join the Special Weapons & Tactics Team,

brother!

With that said, let us begin.........

- there are some spots missing

 

2. Right check

Helmet_right%20review_zpso5j4xbzj.jpg

Principle Points:

- I can not see the weathering on the original on the upper left side also your spot above and below the tube stripes and the three spots on the traps

- shorten the brow a little bit

- you matched the spot on the nose but missing some other main spots/cracks

 

3. Left check

Helmet_left%20review_zps9hhcsqbs.jpg

Principle Points:

- paint run below the tube stripes

 

4. Back check

- I don't know if you emulated the paint spot on the neck?

**Additional Comments**

 

Pouch: Take a close look to the position of the loop of the shoulder pouch. On the reference shot the end of the

loop ends on the same line as the lower edge of the left shoulder. On the reference you can also see that the shoulder

pouch is higher as yours and (probably) the loop is a bit shorter.

Weathering: This is the biggest challenge for every SWAT application and no one will match the weathering to 100%.

We all know that. The Cantina Captain is one of the most difficult trooper to emulate and you did a really great job

to match the original!

I just found some spots which need some rework....

Front%20armor%20check%201_zps7x3gtf81.jp

Principle Points:

- the dot on your pauldron is too large

- you have to rework the main pattern on your chest and the spot on the abdomen

- please shorten the cover stripe on the left side

 

Review_right%20side_zpssx9hn2bd.jpg

Principle Points:

- add the spots on the right biceps and on the shoulder bell

- remove some dirt on the forearm (in the rills)

 

Review%20left%20side%20spot_zps1zy7icff.

Principle Points:

- add the spot on the left biceps

- lift up your shoulder pouch

BACKPACK

Details: see comments

Weathering: see comments

**Additional Comments*

Review_backpack_zpsup5wn94k.jpg

Principle Points:

- I have to see lab pipe

- add some weathering on the electronic box

- the syphon is a Little bit more incline

- shorten the TD control Panel and lift it up

It is really hard to say if the Color you used is the right one. Probably you make some new Pictures without the sun.

But I think you used the wrong (old) blue Color. Check out this Topic. This is the right Color;)

Ok Ben, the first review is finished. There are some homeworks to do.

But you will get enough support in this wonderful community and of course from me!

 

Good luck and Cheers,

Felice

Ben, 

I just did this same trooper for the most part, its defiantly the hardest to emulate. Your almost there, a few more changes and you will be among us elite SWAT troopers.  

Great start :duim:

Alright it's been a while (doing a bunch of house renovations) but I think I may be able to slowly get back into tweaking this thing.  One question off the top of my head is for " the syphon is a Little bit more incline " ...could you elaborate more as to what that means? Thanks!

Thanks! This is going to take a bit longer than I expected. Wife is having some medical issues and the contractors that were remodeling some rooms in our house took the money and then went out of business. But hopefully eventually I'll get to work on this some more!
