Hausi Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hi Doug, first of all welcome and thank you for your interest in joining the MEPD´s finest and becoming a deployed officer. Thank you for providing such a neat and tidy application, your armor fits and suits you well, you look great and your pack#5 is really nice, what a coincidence as I am also building this pack right now, you have done an amazing job and I like your attention to detail, the pack is ticking all the right boxes but there will also be some aspects to address. Okay, enough of the small talk and pleasantries, let´s get your review going. Application Review: Part 1 Name: Doug Phillips Legion ID: TD-69170 Forum Name: HugeBadWolf Garrison: UK Garrison Helmet a. Green lenses: check b. Paint color of traps / tears: check c. Correct number of teeth: check d. Mic tips: check e. Vocoder color: check f. Tube stripes: check g. Rank bar on ears: check h. Brow: check i. Side screws (ears): check j. Weathering: check k. no mesh behind teeth: check *additional comments* Nice helmet! Nothing to hinder your application but just as a side note: I like your weathering but I would suggest adding a sand-coloured wash to all of your armor as there is a very noticeable contrast of the dirt spots to the very white clean parts. Adding a wash would probably make it look more consistent. RESULT ON HELMET Checked & Cleared Armor details a. elastic straps shoulders: check b. neck seal: check c. black undersuit: check d. shoulder bells: check e. biceps: check f. forearms: check g. pauldron: check h. chest / back plate: check i. kidney / butt plate: see comments j. ab plate / side rivets / cod: see comments k. strapping system: check l. thighs: check m. shins / calves: check n. sniper plate: check o. boots: check p. gloves: check q. hand plates / guards: check r. ammo belt (waist): check s. ammo belt (right knee): check t. canvas belt: check u. pouches: see comments v. weathering: check *additional comments* As I have said before, your armor really suits you well but there are some points to address: This first part is simply a piece of advice: I would suggest trimming the return edges some more, especially on the butt plate. The larger the return edge, the more prone it will be to crack… as has already happened with yours obviously and I see cracks all over your armor, take care of those before it gets worse. I was also thinking about your boots as the paint has really already worn off your right boot in particular and make it stick out, however, this is also nothing that demands immediate action to become deployed. But the following will have to be changed: Snaps: In our detailed CRL, which you have quoted in many parts of your application, it clearly says the following: “Abdomen Armor One snap on the top right hand side of the Abdomen Armor: Back of male side of snap shows on outside of Abdomen Armor Posterior Armor (Buttplate): Visible fasteners under lower Buttpiece center includes two (or 3) male snaps in the back (snap part on the inside of the buttpiece). Fasteners need not be functional. “ Yours do not look like the backside of male snaps but rather like some rivets, so please change these for more accurate snaps. Pouches: The pouch you are wearing on your ammo belt doesn´t really meet the requirements. The problem is that this is a style of pouch that was worn by the Sandtroopers in ANH only as an option for the shoulder and originally was made of canvas. Your leather pouch is a style of pouch which may be correct for a Deathtrooper but not a Sandtrooper. Please replace it with one of the following pouches: RESULT ON ARMOR pending Backpack a. details: see comments b. weathering: check *additional comments* As stated above, great pack and I love it that you have gone the extra bit of adding the red support straps. If I see it correctly, the seedtrays are attached to the straps with cable ties? Wow, that´s cool. This isn´t by any chance one of Trevor´s packs? I assume that you have built yourself one of RWA´s great and light syphon kits but there´s a large gap at the top where it says “Made in England”, please repair this. RESULT ON BACKPACK pending Weapon: RTC a. details: check but please have a look at my comments too. b. weathering: check *additional comments* That´s a nice RTC but please adjust the “Tabby” a wee bit (so it doesn´t point upwards that much). RESULT ON WEAPON Checked & Cleared Doug, this was your first review! Your gear looks great and you will be a worthy addition to the ranks of the MEPD´s finest. These are only little and rather easy fixes and I am looking forward to seeing some new pics of your improved gear soon. Cheers mate!

HugeBadWolf Posted September 11, 2022 Author Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hi, Thanks for the speedy reply, much appreciated I have fixed the cracked syphon The snaps on the ab and butt are snaps, but appreciate that they will need to be changed. Would the below be suitable (current on the left, possible on the right)? I will research a new pouch, will check in again before I buy. Cheers, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted September 11, 2022 Share Posted September 11, 2022 Hey Doug, that was a quick fix on the syphon, good work. As far as the snaps are concerned, the ones on the right in your picture are still not the correct ones, probably also too small. You will want to find something more like the ones in the following picture with a diameter of about 15mm: You do not need a big pouch for the hip, original small Spanish pouches are for example way easier to find than the bigger ones like the Stolla which are really becoming rare. Replicas are also allowed. Cheers mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HugeBadWolf Posted September 12, 2022 Author Share Posted September 12, 2022 Hi, I have commissioned a replacement pouch from a local business, should be ready on a week. Is this snap more suitable? Cheers, Doug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted September 12, 2022 Share Posted September 12, 2022 Great job, so that's already off the list. Way to go! But for god's sake trim down those return edges. It's not even screenaccurate to have them there, so you really don't need them. I haven't had a single crack in the butt plate and it's still the first one, but I already have the second chest as it keeps cracking because of the return edges. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HugeBadWolf Posted September 20, 2022 Author Share Posted September 20, 2022 Hi, apologies for the delay, was waiting on the cobbler to finish my pouch. He finished it, it wasn't right, so have had a go myself... How does the below look, is it along the right lines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted September 21, 2022 Share Posted September 21, 2022 Well, to be honest, it doesn't really resemble the Stolla Wien pouch as the proportions are slightly wrong but it's okay, so you can also tick that off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the the closures are too low/flaps too long? I can try and move be them up a bit if needed. What's my next move? I think I've ticked off all the changes that I needed to make?

Hausi Posted September 23, 2022 Share Posted September 23, 2022 No need to mess with the closures or flaps, it's okay. Your next move will be to be patient, I'm trooping this weekend and am going to write your final review next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
