iconoclasta_88 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 This has been a very long and difficult road to SWAT, but it truly has paid off. From your original submission to these last pictures, there is a world of work, time, patience and love to sandy armor that can be seen from several parsecs away! This is what SWAT program is about. Not about forging a prop, but about wanting to go further and actually, have the patience and passion to do so. And you my friend, have it. Even if sometimes assisted by our bro Dave H, you have shown your commitment to your TD and now that it is done I can only say, mission accomplished! Congratulations, you are now officially deployed as a MEPD SWAT team officer!! Pls, let us know which picture you want for your profile! This is your link.

DaveMars Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I'm speechless brothers! I couldn't have done it without my SWAT brothers! Especially Sir Dave who originally converted my 1st TK to TD & kindly spent a lot of his spare time weathering my armour for MEPD & SWAT. He was happy with my attempt on the chest weathering & glad it was all cool in the end. Thanks for all your support & patience over the last year. I know the thread was way too long! I was broke for a good 6 months of the months if the build & then ended up upgrading everything Any suggestions on my profile pic? I might wait until my next troop in a months time? Huge thanks to Rick & Juan too couldn't have done it without the field pack advice & parts. I won't be a stranger on the boards. Look forward to trooping with my UK SWAT brothers very soon! See ya next month Marcus!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll sort you out a profile pic if you want, and if you want to change to a different one after MEM then do so by all means mate.

Smally Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Ive submitted a 3 page PM to the mods and the boss explaining why I don't think your armour is quite up to SWAT standard. Please do not celebrate just yet as there are over 30 corrections needed on both the armour and back pack. Congratulations really dude! As I said on FB, bask in the glory !

nick.black Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Dave H, Looking at this reminds me that I need to pleather my own radio. I know you offered to do it for me buddy and that is very much appreciated. I have some pleather at home, that I was gonna make some pouches from, and I'm also going to throw my black leather sofa soon, so I'll be salvaging the leather from that. Cheers Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joe Versku Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 LOL Nick are u serious about cutting up ur sofa?! Not heard anyone doing that for a costume but... If u do, throw me some of that leather will u? Blimey, that's not something I thought I'd ask a fellow man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 It's torn and worn in many places and will only end up on the dump. I looked at it and thought, shame to let good bits of leather go to waste I should really keep it to make some pouches. Dunno when it'll be yet but I'll bear you in mind mate c Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Any chance you're throwing out a 50" HD tv? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyred99 Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 I am looking at "move along" builds for research into my own version and I have to ask where the round screw in the ear is seen? I am not trying to cause a fuss as I am sure it is there somewhere, but in the pics on Looksirdroids I just cant find it. I love the attention to detail, it is helping me with ideas on how I need to change my pack and weathering etc. I am used to building TKs to EIB and centurion level, which focuses on the building of the armor (accurate split rivets for the side, accurate placement of thigh ammo belt with the cap rivet in the upper corners not the centers or bottoms, rounded bottom on the thigh ammo belt pop rivets absolutely not allowed etc), instead of the replication of a particular on screen TK. This is a whole new level and I find it fascinating. Congrats on the SWAT designation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted January 7, 2013 Share Posted January 7, 2013 Any chance you're throwing out a 50" HD tv? Haha yeh right mate. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMars Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi Frank Dave Harris will have the pic with the ear screw, I have seen it, the picture is a side view, probably the pic with the landspeeder Anthony Forrest wore 2 different lids for the move along scene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
