I would also be interested in getting one from the vender if the cost is not insane. No rush. :-)
-
Thanks for the great Information Eric. looking forward to seeing the MEPD evolve.
-
Thanks, I'm on hold till i get a new pack built.
-
I love my T21 made by Blaster 8266, its a very visually stunning piece & it breaks down easily for transport. My entire first troop i had nothing but great comments on it. Only draw back is the weight its gotta be 10-12lbs. I will be in the market for a HF DLT for a secondary to my T21. Have an E11 it just doesn't fit the look :-) but great for big crowds.
Pros on any BFG - You look bad @ss
Cons - Large and hard to maneuver in large crowds.
On a side note handlers do a great job helping us navigate the crowds too (Less chance of a weapon collision)
-
Great looking BFG

Another Dirtyboy pack for The Great White North.. Thanks Rick.
-
Thanks guys, yeah i will build a completely new pack and pass this one on to another trooper as it will be used for trooping only (pay it forward situation)
Rick let me know when you can about the kit you may have kicking around.

I just need to install my original strapping screws and I can submit for PO, just haven't had as much free time. Felice will help square you away though. Best of luck!
Nice, yeah that's my issue no time here too, it has recently become thin.. Thanks, good luck on you submission when you get there.

Radio, cistern, bottom seed tray stick out the most. Those bottles look too big as well, even bigger than wet ones bottles. Replace those with 750cc vitamin bottles.
Yeah i think there is a lot more wrong with the pack, it was a local (almost free), just not sure if its worth a rebuild. I'm intrigued to see what Felice has to say about the pack. I assume thats my only issue
-
Felice,
Thats too bad about the pack, its a much older pack, guess i need to bite the bullet and talk to Dirty, was trying to avoid the bad cad to usd exchange :-)
Thanks for the heads up.

I followed pandatrooper's post on the oily and dirt method.
http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=7290
What i found worked for me was apply a thick coat of a light brown let sit for 10-15 min, dab and twist lightly until you reach the effect you want as a base. Keep in mind after doing this on a few pieces and using the same spot on the damp rag you can dab the clean areas of armor with the rag and it will dull it up nicely as you have wet paint on it.
After the base drys for about 24 hours you can hit it with a much darker mix. doing the same as the base layer you can achieve a great look. here are a few pics of my armor weathering crazyness..
As you can see the first layer was a lighter brown. i messed up on the 2nd layer but it was getting there.
As seen above my 3rd layer was much better still a darker mix helped give the armor the "dirty a while" look..
Here is a final result after 4 layers. I know i will have to make some spot changes to get swat.
-
Awesome dude, my first is this weekend..
-
i have been looking through a few approved SWAT submissions, i do have to hit pouches with sand paper to give the beaten look..
-
Great work, cant wait to see it dirty.
-
Saw this on facebook a few days ago so awesome :-)
-
No prob.
-
Thank's! Look's fantastic,Gonna get them ordered But how is the chest really strapped to the Ab plate? I have had to many times the ab plate go's way too high and you can see the undersuit.
No Problem. I have internal snap strapping keeping the chest plate in the correct place at all times like the attached photo but i have 3 instead of 2.. one at each side and one in the center (replacing 1,2,3,4)
-
I followed this post over on the FISD when i did mine as i was going for centurion TK before i converted to the dirty side. The split rivets that are required should be 8MM for accuracy
http://www.whitearmor.net/forum/topic/30595-ap-armour-with-anh-centurion-as-goal-build-thread/page-4
Dannys build is a great guide to follow.
here are a few pictures of mine. taken before the conversion to TD. Rivets are only on the left side non the right.
A few people have done what i did and make snap plates instead of making the rivets usable.
As for the emulation or installing the screen strapping on the chest and ab plate see picture below. :-) Should look something like this, preferred to use slotted (flat head) machine screws, unfortunately i had non available, but these dont look bad.
-
ill second Walter from WTF for the 3 buttons. His abs will match your armor perfectly as well.
-
Looking great. Love that weathering very gritty.
-
Walter (WTF) is a great source for the buttons if your kit didn't come with it. Matched well..
-
Looking good trooper, you will be done in no time.
