Airborne Trooper

Looks much better!

I would recommend toning down the yellow but you are on the right track.

Inspect their refrigerator and confiscate "unauthorized" beers. Tell them you will dispose of them properly.

VERY EXCITING! I would suggest kitting up and walking around your house or the backyard and get a good feel. You definitely want to try to find pinch points BEFORE you have your first troop.

I use a hardhat liner inside my helmet, it allows a bit of space between the top of my head and the top of my bucket so air can circulate better, also no need for a chin strap. The armor is fine but I wouldn't go fighting people in it or rolling around the ground. I am jealous of people who can sit in their armor whereas I can barely do stairs with a handrail. Next time I am getting ready for a troop, I'll take photos of my full electronics setup. I put a bit of velcro on my wireless mid and it stays put inside my helmet. Fans are attached with velcro and on a mount. Battery is secured with velcro. You just gotta walk around with your full kit and learn what works for you. Trim away pinch points and get it all dialed in.

Yep, I totally have the dad bod plus I enjoy beer too much haha.

Done and Done!

By the grip on the DLT, there should be a round greeblie. Couple other things I noticed: - Pull up your forearms, they should be nearly touching the bottom of your biceps when your arm is resting down straight. - Your cod piece needs to have some extra material trimmed away. It should be rounded off shortly after where you have the split rivet. - The bottom part of your ears should be mounted with the same screw as the 2 in the round portion. I'm not sure if pop rivets are acceptable to hold the thigh ammo pack on. It should be attached with cap rivets or at least split rivets.

Trim those screws down and apply a glob of E6000 on top and they won't be able to snag your undersuit!

I'd like to see the blue bottles and seed trays painted battleship grey but I don't think that's a PO requirement. Everything else looks up to snuff for PO, just do the already mentioned improvements.

Wasn't Strider the one who pointed Gino in the right direction for that build? I personally don't understand withholding information in this community.

Maybe an incorporation of the dewback silhouette you have designed for that tshirt a while back?

Nice dry brushing on the pack, just dirty it up a bit and it's solid!

Interesting, mine just have the 2 rings on each side. I don't have that buckle portion.

That would be too big. That's for shoulder division patch insignia.

Need the rounded ones to be era correct. Make a custom MEPD one

I'd be down for an officer cap but my days of wearing a beret are over. I've only worn a maroon beret and it is now with all my Army gear for sentimental reasons.

God, I wish I had that problem lol. You can cut away more to fit you.

I was thinking about Pack #5 aka Filter pack. The greeblie that goes on the side of the Brexton box

I'm thinking of a different pack. Those look like those plastic retainer clips that Tie Pilots have on their helmets.

I see absolutely no shame in using the next best thing. Sometimes it's a necessity. I'm sure all of us would love to have the exact screen used parts but we're also not all millionaires lol. Your builds always come out fantastic so keep doing you!

I've seen someone 3D print a part that's #1. I can't seem to find it right now but I remember a pack build featuring it. It's not the same as the capacitor holder.

Wow, you got lots of expensive goodies on the way. Took me a long time just to get what I have haha. Definitely understand wanting to get things before going on vacation. Lots of porch pirates out there.

I removed mine. I put my forearms on after I put my bucket on.

Nice! Let me know and if it's successful, I'll shoot him a PM for a new hearing assist.
