With field pack: Shoulder snaps: The black nylon is an internal tab I use to reach up and pull open the snaps. It is NOT visible on the outside. I created this after straining dozens of times to open those snaps. Belt and pouch details: Ab details (buttons and screws): Gloves: I have both leather/ABS and Rubber/Latex: General CRL images and all snaps, screws, and buttons: Boots, shins, thighs (split rivets on thigh ammo belt), arms: Bucket: Field pack: The shotgun shell mount was replicated from the RS Propmaster's pack. I found the exact auto clips on Amazon and cut the base out of ABS to match the RS pack. My 86 year old mother-in-law helped sew the red canvas for the frame: Weapon, Pauldron, and Neck seal: Action shots and others: Respectfully submitted for police officer deployment by TD-33348 "4Runner." Thank you for your consideration. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Hi Peter, First of all welcome to the MEPD and thank you for your interest in joining the MEPD´s finest. Thank you for providing such a tidy application, your armor fits like a glove and suits you well, you look great and your pack is brilliant. I don´t know why – as plainly spoken, it´s actually just a frame with rubbish attached to it - but I just love a well-built pack and yours looks great . That´s a cool story about your mother in law helping out with that red canvas, what a nice lady! Okay, let´s get your review going.

RESULT ON ARMOR Checked & Cleared Backpack a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* As stated above, great build and kudos for building your own pack. Piece of advice though, get some cheap black backpack, take of the padded shoulderstraps and add them to you pack, it will probably be more comfy. RESULT ON BACKPACK Checked & Cleared Weapon: E-11 a. details: see comments b. weathering: see comments *additional comments* I am not completely happy with that E-11, first of all because it looks too factory fresh, so please add some dirt, e.g. a wash with some sandcoloured watered down acrylics and you may also make it look more worn, by drybrushing the prominent parts, secondly as it has a solid scope rail. I am going to let this pass once but the next trooper trying to apply with one of these blasters will have a harder time. The RotJ E11s had a solid rail, that much might be true, but not on the ANH E-11s. And of course I still have to leave this here every time I see a sandtrooper with a regular E-11: “Bapty for the win!”... go and build yourself one, mate, you can do it, it´s fun and way more accurate! RESULT ON WEAPON pending Peter, this was your first review! Your gear looks great and you will be a worthy addition to the ranks of the MEPD´s finest, just one easy fix, so go for it! I am looking forward to seeing some new pics of your improved and dirty blaster soon. Cheers mate! Hausi - MEPD Deployment Officer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
