In Roger´s (spOOL68) thread I also learned that he had to tone down the coffeestain on his Pauldron, so I toned down mine even further as it was still too solid for my liking. Reading many of the SWAT threads, I learned that it is oviously the remains of some kind of sticker that was on the Pauldron, so I still tried to emulate the effect of actual residue.

Yeah right Roger, I saw it when I studied your application and approval process So off with the old ring, had to dremel it off: and on with the new one, I also used this chance to add the inner barrel with cooling fins, just to realise after completing everything, that the cooling fins of the Lewis Gun don´t actually go around all the way.... well however, this shouldn´t hinder my approval I hope as you actually never really see it on screen or at least not clearly. also used the opportunity too work on a new scope for my Bapty blaster as I went too crazy with the weathering on the old one and didn´t like it anymore. It´s not of any interest for my SWAT approval but everybody likes pictures Before: After:

Thanks Michael, that's good news! I'm currently reworking the front end/ barreltip of my T-21. The ring was too thick and a little too wide, so I have changed that and have also added the original inner barrel with the cooling fins around it, will post pics tomorrow.

Wow, you really put a lot of effort and precision work with the nylon thread into your build, awesome! I was thinking about doing that to my gun as well but I'm afraid of screwing it up. How did you attach the thread to the barrel? Spray glue?

Congrats Bradley, well deserved! Great work!

Hi Ben, that's a good-looking kit, I especially like your helmet, I guess it's a TM? They will probably ask you for some more pics showing the six rivets on the side of your armour and the backside of the male snap on the right side, same goes for the snaps in your codpiece and butt as well as the elastic shoulderstraps, so add some closeups. Don't forget to add the two missing screws on your ears. You seem to be a big guy, the gap between your backplate and the kidneyplate might be too big, I would suggest using longer elastic shoulder straps. Your shin armour also looks quite short, there are lots of armorers offering longer shins, but that might not be necessary so wait for the final review. Try to shorten the straps connecting your shoulder bells with the elastics a bit to move the shoulder bells closer to the chest plate. And get rid of that thermal detonator, we don't need that... we've got big guns! Your DLT looks ace! Good luck for your review!

Cool idea, very inspiring, now I want to build one as well! Great work!

Great picture!

Yeah, that was such a nice surprise, I can´t thank you enough for doing this!

Thanks Daniel!

Although nobody pointed that out, I have decided to tone down the "coffee stain"/stamp on my pauldron as it looked too solid to me before. before: after:

Awesome work mate and I just love your Bapty DLT!

Looking really good now!! Well done mate

Yeah, you really are darn close to UKSWRATH's chestweathering, hadn't checked out his thread so far. As far as the teeth are concerned, the "stop that ship" helmet that your trooper is wearing has only six teeth cut out.

Oh yeah, for everyone interested, the helmet is a DA / Andy Rodgers HDPE helmet with TM ears, the rest of the armour is all TM. The T-21 is completely selfbuilt. Forgot to mention that in my first post.

Hi John, I really like the overall look of your kit, fits you well, but I do agree with jcalus on the chestweathering which still looks a little too solid and to me also too simple, the trooper I´m emulating is wearing the same chest and helmet and I´ve spend quite a lot of time trying to get it right and I´m still not 100% happy with it. I have multiple layers of weathering on my chest, always added some colour, took some of again then added some more... Your helmet looks really good but I´m afraid you will have to close the two teeth. I also think that you will have to take off the UK Garrison decal (not allowed for SWAT) That´s an awesome DLT! Who is the maker? Just one thing: it looks factory-fresh: add some weathering to it Good luck with your review!

Thanks guys!

And finally actionshots with movie references: If anything is missing, please let me know! Thanks for considering my application! Cheers

Whether darkness or bright light.... you always look dirty brother! Nice pic!

Congrats mate, Rock'n Roll!

I think that the tape goes around the radio as well and the tape that goes across horizontally was applied prior to the vertical one and attaches to the left side of the tray. Due to the lack of space between the radio and siphon they obviously didn't attach it on the right side, this might also have lead to the radio comming loose during filming and hanging lower on the right side... and to me this would also explain why the vertical tape looks twisted in the middle of the radio and at the bottom where it has been attached to the tray. That's some proper research you're doing there Thomas, way to go!

Thanks Olli and Kirk! Yeah, it's a pity that f... photobucket has shut down all my pics. At the moment I'm busy getting my armour and new helmet ready for swat and I'm somehow not really willing to spend so much time again reposting all the pictures that those retards at pb have taken down but might reconsider it;) If you should need any pics Olli, just pm me your email address and I will send those pics to you
