I have mixed feelings. I am disappointed by the way you Bluey brought this thing on a personal level and with very little respect for Brad which also didn't wait a sec to review your application. As above mentioned being involved in the creation of the program doesn't allow you to get approved straight away. Brad in my personal opinion is been very light-handed. Your application lacks of full body pics from every side pics of the right details and comparisons with the screen grabs. Nobody saw your PO application or your upgrade process to SWAT so nobody know your armour and the application intent is to review it tip to toe. I am also surprised by the lack of backups from the other members of the Command Staff for Brad but from Justus. Welcome back to the MEPD and to the Command staff Bluey

Awesome job so far Nick and thanks for the tips. Are you thinking to update the templates ?

Done! Good luck!

The reference picture that you're using has some mistakes. As Nick mentioned already the radar dish points outwards. The top piece that comes from the thermal detonator of the TKs has to be shortened and that one too points outwards The radio needs a different dial Also the radio needs to be placed a bit slanted clockwise. The picture says that in few shots there are between 4 and 6 cylinders but ain't cylinders it's a corrugated that you can find at your home depot. And again in few shots the top cap of the mortar tube is missing. So is up to you build it following one or another ref pic. Looking forward to start seeing some progresses.

I don't think for the Tunisia shooting they bothered in removing it. :happy:

Looking good Lee!

Congrats again Manny!!! here your SWAT ID, at this link you can find the high res version

nice

a true gentleman

Congrats again!!! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: As Smally said send us your best action pic in high resolution please (not less than 2mb)

I do love this blaster Rick! Looking good and sharp! Thumbs up!

I don't think it will be needed for the other Cpts like in the desert/roadblock/alley. I was curious about that side pouch and the bluish mark on the box. Not to mention all the packless troopers

Lmao

I did it on my old helmet too. I closed the eyes from the inside with the masking tape then I made a little layer of Bondo. Then when it was drying up I used a cutter to refine the shapes. I won't take long.

@Al The bee stinger seems to be there ^_^ @Juan I agree about the cistern syphon I thought that the side pouches were similar to this model rather than the mp40 ones here the comparison between the two shots

I know what you mean but this one seemed shorter with wider ammo pouches. In the alley scene is covered by his hand most of the time. I bow to thee master

Good points Juan I enhanced the pic a bit and have a look at the pouch on the belt...

This is the biggest I've ever seen I might ask if there's something even bigger. Maybe it's just me but I see a blue box on the Cpt on the far left of the screen. A very clean thight and a couple of black straps on the lower seed tray quite different from the black tape.

A friend of mine (J.E.)sent me this one. He's a collector of Star Wars high res pictures. I think you might find really interesting details that might change the next SWAT candidates. What do you think?

very interesting :thumbsup: we should ask Brian Muir about ..

Too much sky and not enough armours :woot: Just kidding Love this one guys!!! :thumbsup:

Well said Ricky -If you feel "rising the ladder" is unfair then you may have to boycott the "SWAT! Are we accurate enough" thread Who are you to say that? I am all about screen accuracy and I like people aiming for that. I'd like remind you that we're a costume club after all. And yes to me close enough is enough to get the SWAT approval. We're not Gods we have families, we have lifes, jobs if you wanna spend more time to get your amour perfect then go for it. Nobody is gonna stop you. Actually I'll be there to congratulate you. But I am sorry to remind you that you won't be able due the lack of good pics from every angle even for your "the most accurate amour ever seen". I like rise the bars as long it doesn't become the game "spot the error" for everyone. Keep this in mind for the next candidates and let the DOs do their job

Yup I used that to fix cracks on the armour. Thanks

Each approval is judged harder than the last Which makes the SWAT process a bit unfair for the new ones that wanna rise that ladder The newest issue is baptys which have also been agreed on and boots are a must if we're doing blasters So if I am running for SWAT with another character which has a DLT19 or T-21 or MG-15 should I show my Bapty anyway? And where is the screen accuracy here? I must say I'm a little surprised that some of the ppl pushing for SWAT to be more challenging/accurate are the same that are disagreeing with GML decisions and saying near enough is good enough It's one or the other I am not disagreeing with anyone here and I think the the Police Officer and SWAT processes should be closed to the DO and armourers only.

Hi Charlie, I was wondering if you have a finished one to see how it looks like once the valves are sealed. Do you suggest to use bondo or a similar filler?
