tk6316 Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Hello fellow troopers! I am currently in the process of upgrading my current basic TD for Level 2 certification. Looking around for mentors for guidance and to check if I am currently on the right path. Any help is truly appreciated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted September 25, 2017 Share Posted September 25, 2017 Since you have a 4-digit TK ID, you've been in the legion for a bit! One of the best things you can do is read the CRL, look through our recent PO approval threads, and share pictures so we can review where you're at.

tk6316 Posted September 26, 2017 Author Share Posted September 26, 2017 Thanks Jason. Yeah been around quite awhile and decided to take the costume up a notch. Here are some of the upgrades I made following as per Level 2 CRL requirements. Any comments/advise is much appreciated. Will post more soon. Image1 - Specific ammo pouches. Reproduction or original MP-40 ammo pouches are generally considered canon, made in either canvas or leather. Other acceptable names/designs include Stolla Wien, and the once common “Norwegian” green MP-40 pouches Image2 - Three or four “teeth” cut out on either side of helmet “frown” may be cut out. This detail is often referred to as a “Stunt” helmet variation, in addition to the flat green lenses.Frown must be painted gray and must not leave the teeth area. Image3 - Correct Hovi-Mix mic tips. Image4 - Ammo box cover, and conical disk affixed to left side of thumb grip area. Image5 - Rivets on the left side of the Abdomen / Kidney Armor: A total of (6) rivets with three on the abdomen and three on the kidney. The rivets have to be painted white. Rivets are equally spaced out along the depth of the armor and about 10mm from the edge. Image6 - One snap on the top right hand side of the Abdomen Armor: Back of male side of snap shows on outside of Abdomen Armor. Image7 - Visible fasteners under lower Codpiece center area include one split rivet or brad in the front. Fasteners need not be functional. Visible fasteners under lower Codpiece center area includes two (or 3) male snaps in the back. Fasteners need not be functional. Image8 - Flat green helmet lenses, made from lighting gel material, green welder’s mask face shield, acetate, or similar product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted September 28, 2017 Share Posted September 28, 2017 The top-right ab snap as well as the cod split rivet should be un-painted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tk6316 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 I know I would need a new radio but besides that is my pack worthy for PO approval? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted October 9, 2017 Share Posted October 9, 2017 You links have been photobucket blocked. Any chance of fixing them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk6316 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Yeah noticed. Hope this works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tk6316 Posted October 9, 2017 Author Share Posted October 9, 2017 Also will there be any issues with using these snaps on the shoulder strap or should I replace with the sew-on ones? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted October 10, 2017 Share Posted October 10, 2017 Look over some of the recent PO applicants that have been approved to give you an idea on the pack standards. I'd replace those shoulder straps with ones that have sew on snaps. It's a quick fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Asher Posted November 3, 2017 Share Posted November 3, 2017 Should the hovi mic tip be white inside? Or all black? Asher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcalus Posted November 4, 2017 Share Posted November 4, 2017 Since your taking off the radio anyways... if you could repaint that blue more of a battleship grey ( lots of paint colour info on threads), that would be a great touch. Not sure if it's too blue..Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asher After seeing some of the previous applicants, I think both is acceptable?

Sent from my SM-G930W8 using Tapatalk Yes sir, my current blue is almost similar to Sky Blue but yeah am planning to strip the current paint scheme once I've finished building the new radio kit.

tk6316 Posted November 10, 2017 Author Share Posted November 10, 2017 (edited) Currently doing the tube stripes, does this look right? R = 13 stripes L = 16 stripes Edited November 10, 2017 by tk6316 typo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 The inside of the hovi tips should be white. The strip count depends on the trooper you're trying to emulate. You should be fine with your current count for basic and PO though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthDraven Posted November 26, 2017 Share Posted November 26, 2017 I love the pack, broSent from my SM-G955U using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Once you replace the radio and change the blue bottle colors, it'll pass for PO. I'd like to see a real Tupperware pitcher lid used or a better cast/3d print with a bolt of some sort holding it onto the mortar tube. Your current one shouldn't stop you but an upgrade would improve the look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trooper1 Posted November 27, 2017 Share Posted November 27, 2017 Agree with Jason, Looks awesome and after those changes looks good to go. Cant wait to see the final pics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
