Felice Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Hi Urs! Like mentioned in John thread I have to do some Business with my photo uploader:-) But I will start with your Review next week...a promise too! But I also like to start with your Review right now...quick and dirty style..... Your gear is on spot and your emulated trooper is immediately recognizable. But each new SWAT candidate gets looked at even more so from the previous trooper and the bar gets raised even higher. You are definitely on the right track though. 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......... So let's start......

Hausi Posted August 18, 2017 Author Share Posted August 18, 2017 Man that is great, thanks Felix!

Now I'm coming with some pictures;) MEPD SWAT OFFICER: Application review part 2 Name: Urs Tischhauser Legion ID: 21027 Forum Name: hausi Garrison: German Garrison ANH Santrooper selected: Captain Docking Bay 94 V2 Helmet Green Lenses: check Paint Color on Traps / Tears: check Paint Color and Number of Teeth: check Mic Tips: check Vocoder Color: check Tube Stripes: check Rank Bar: check Brow: check Side Screws (ears): check Weathering: see comments Specials (ears): see comments **Additional comments** --> please add the missing marked spots --> please make the two ear caps a Little bit more present **RESULT ON HELMET** PENDING Armor / Suit Details Canvas Straps: check Neck Seal: check Black Undersuit: check Shoulder Bells: check Biceps: check Forearms: check Pauldron: see comments Chest / Back Plate: check Kidney / Butt Plate: check Ab Plate / Side Rivets / Cod: check Strapping: check Tighs: check Shins / Calves: check Sniper Plate: check Boots: check Gloves: check Ammo Belt (Waist) w/ correct Angled Edge: check Ammo Belt (right knee): check Canvas Belt: check Pouches: check Weathering: see comments Crotch Snaps: check **Additional Comments** --> for me your coffee spot is too dark and too structured --> please check the marked spots on the abdomen. Yours are a Little bit too light --> try to bring down your helmet a little bit --> I don't understand the spot on your right tigh. Is there a reference for that? **RESULT ON ARMOR** PENDING Backpack No pack required Weapon: T-21 Details: check Weathering: check **Additional Comments** **RESULT ON WEAPON** APPROVED That was my second review Urs. I think you are on the right way and like Rolf said you built a good replica. Thank you and Cheers, Felix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 22, 2017 Author Share Posted August 22, 2017 Thank you Felix for all the detailed pics containing all the information I need to improve my armor, I guess that was quite a bit of work! I will start working and adjusting stuff on Friday when I get back from holidays. As far as the pauldron is concerned, I'd like to point out that the one picture you have chosen doesn't show the pauldron at its current state as I've toned down the coffee spot quite a lot since that pic was taken (you will also find the current pics of the pauldron in this thread) Furthermore my head is quite strangely shaped , which might be the reason why it looks like the helmet is sitting quite high. I will try to find a thinner foam to create the flower for the helmet padding but the one which is currently in use is already quite thin. So way to go!

Hausi Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 Okay holidays were great, lots of hiking in the mountains and BBQ but now back to business! I have improved/changed/adjusted everything pointed out in Felix´review, here we go.... I have cleaned my boots (something a TD should actually never be forced to do ) In the first pic the one on the left has been cleaned, the right one is still dirty as ..... both of them clean: I have reworked the coffeespot on my pauldron (again) and finally I´m quite happy with it: I have taken the right ear off my bucket and reshaped it on the frontside to achieve a larger gap, furthermore I have added the missing weatheringspots and the paintruns on the back of the helmet: In addition to adding the two spots on the snout, I have also tried to emulate the thin line above the right eye and the dirt between the eyes the original helmet has large gaps where the ears are attached, so I took out my dremel... helmet without ear looked almost like the cleaned original on starwarshelmets.com paintruns on back: some more pics from the side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 25, 2017 Author Share Posted August 25, 2017 I have adjusted the weathering on the abdomen according to the references: before: new btw I have also removed the padding from the lid so it sits lower and looks like the reference. and the weathering on the inner right thigh is can also be seen in the above reference and some other screencaps, although it looks different in every shot, I don´t think that it just a shadow of the T-21. I have tried to adjust my initial try to make it look better: my thigh references/screencaps: and finally me again posing: I have also added a little to the weathering of the right shoulderbell and the biceps, while studying the references I realised that the biceps is really twisted, so mine is twisted as well before: after: hope I have ticked all the right boxes and looking forward to reading my next review Cheers mates!

Hausi Posted August 27, 2017 Author Share Posted August 27, 2017 While looking at my pics again, I realised that the weathering isn´t solid enough in some places on my right shoulder bell, especially when compared to the reference pics, so I added a little more. The same goes for the underside of the little square on the abdomen. shoulder bell before: and after adding a little more: reference abdomen with stronger weathering on the underside of the little square: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarthStevius Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 You are being so meticulous with this build Urs, way to go Especially considering some of the poor quality reference photo's. One thing that seems to show on your full length photos is what looks like a slightly different colouring between your boots and the shins. The boots seem much whiter, is that in line with the character? It could be the way the light is shining on them from the angle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
