That is awesome news Dirty Boy! I have a few questions about customs etc I'll pm you now on facebook mate
-
it might just be me but i dont see a problem with your radio!
whats your thinking on it?
I agree with Rick about the bowl, it looked better higher up when the bowl sat level.
Don't think the radio was a problem really, Dave asked Rick about it his radio's a few weeks ago & he offered to send a bowl for free so might as well get a radio & new exhaust at the same time.
Once I get the new pack parts I think I deserve deployment?
Won't take long to swap the parts over
-
Dave it's looking fab now mate. That pack looks great but yeh agree your radio is too shallow. You thought about scratch building your own? That's what I did. If you were desperate for one I could make you one like mine but don't know
when I'd be able to do it for.
Nick
Cheers for offer Nick! I'm sorted with Dirty boys awesome radio fascia, exhaust port & top bowl so it will make a difference
I have scratch built it myself bro & was proud of it.
Since my 1st pics on page 1 I borrowed Sir Dave's fettgear & matched the
measurements 100% & the frame. Fettgear are top guys & I can't complain, all the parts were made way before SWAT existed
I'm sure Rick will get me sorted in no time, think I'll need a bigger box for the radio tho? What did you use Nick & have you got a link?
We'll look awesome at winter Mem sadly I'll be in Spain during Movie Mania
-
hey dave,
i found that fettgears mushroom caps are a weird shape and too big!
the way i went around it was to buy a little larger cannister,looks 100% better now,
by the way,your build looks better everytime you
throw up new pics,nice one!
Cheers bro!
I was hoping it'd be finished but my torso
was sitting too high yesterday.
It'll look so much better when the caps replaced
& I'll have a better radio & exhaust too!!
Cheers for the feedback brothers!!
-
It'll look loads better too
Cheers mate
-
Facebook message sent Rick
Dave's away for a week on holiday so I'll order now & sort it out with him when he returns
-
Cool mate pm me on facebook I was going to message you about the radio's, Dave did mention a quote
-
I'm going to need a new mushroom cap but i cannot source any others in the UK Fettgears are obviously too big to position correctly, can shorten the exhaust no probs just push it in abit more
-
Few phone pics of my pack weathering before my deployment pics

-
pack slightly dirtied but not very visible in the sunlight, took a few more pics today, braces were abit too tight tho and the back pack strap had fallen loose over one of my pouches. Didnt realise til after the pics
-
Really nice Dave you're looking spot on now mate. Just needs some dirt on that pack.
Nick
Cheers for the spot on feedback Nick!
It has been confirmed that the packs were dirtied by the environment on set so I will add a very light Raw Umber in places
Last time I cleaned the packs up I ended up having to respray everything which is why my pack rebuild looks so new
-
Cheers Nick!
I thought SWAT packs were clean?
Want to check with everyone else as I cleaned mine & Sir Daves up lol
-
Cheers for the exhaust pic Dirty Boy!!
If this ok? i'm ready for Deployment
Moved the tool box left, the mushroom down, the exhaust box to right and added a longer new exhaust pipe
-
Cheers bro!
I'll try & make one similar to yours within a hour or 2 & move a few things around on the pack
Then hopefully I'm done
-
Ok brother! Does the lip of the mushroom cap sit below the top of the tool kit? Or resting on top?
The longer exhaust is ready to put on. Won't have time to jiggle things around until Saturday so plenty of time to receive advice & feedback
-
nearly there bro
Cheers bro! Bought another petrol funnel tonight so hopefully it will be longer than the 1 on my pack, the screen caps I've seen of the field packs are not that clear
-
Only the Field pack left now brothers!! what advice can you all give me on the mushroom and exhaust? I can easily unscrew the seed trays and move the beaker and mushroom higher and add a screw to make the exhaust straight?
-
pouch flap template made and points trimmed off
-
Decal removed you can just make it out but will blend it in
-
I was hoping so bro! Haha
As far as I know I need to move my bowl & exhaust? On my field pack
I'll wait for comparison pics before I do this
Trim the points off my leather mp40 pouches
And remove the ukg decal
All minor easy jobs
Anything else brothers??
-
Nooo don't lock it lol so close now!
I can always delete some of my comments moaning about all the bad luck at the start of the year?
