Sandman Tigui Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Nice build Jason!!! Might want to consider in adjusting your left shin or the left thigh, seems by your two last pics that it wiggles a little bit and when trooping a snug fit is a lot much better. Although looking great!!! Dirty enough to make it around here. Good luck Jason! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Only one thing I would suggest brother.....the tool box on the top left side of your pack, if changed would make a huge difference in the look of your pack. Radio shack sells a great enclosure for about $8.00.....just a thought man....good luck on deployment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgrace Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 the DRI Star lable is showing on you left thigh. You might want to paint or color it over. I think it looks good and i cant wait to be finish with my build. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iconoclasta_88 Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 Looking really good Jason! I have the same suggestion as Dirty Boy about the tool box, also, the Exhaust Port looks a bit too big. But, I need to check the CRL in depth and even talk backstage with the CS to make sure if you do need to change them. As "strict accuracy" is required by the CRL for the pack. If you decide to upgrade, it would probably save a bit time anyway. Good job all around, just let me check this little things.

silverboyd Posted July 18, 2012 Author Share Posted July 18, 2012 I like how you did the shims on your sides. Come out really good.I was a little worried that someone wouldn't like the side shims. I'm pleased with them myself. I've actually lost some weight in my torso area since I originally sized the shims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordonator Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Looks like u got most of the criteria done for. If it is not too much to ask for, maybe you can post a shot of your separate butt and kidney plate so we got everything covered. I have also upgraded you to Sandtrooper forum account as well. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverboyd Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 sure thing....I'll post pics of that in the next day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted July 19, 2012 Share Posted July 19, 2012 Jason, Only thing I would comment on here is that in some of your photos the top of your ab plates is showing a gap between that and your chest plate. I know it's probably gonna be hard to get it right but is there a tighter strapping you can try in there to stop that happening?

silverboyd Posted July 19, 2012 Author Share Posted July 19, 2012 Thanks Nick...I now have a piece of elastic with Velcro on each ends that help to pull the front down tighter. Good eye though. I'll be posting pics of that and the kidney/butt plates in the next day or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silverboyd Posted November 16, 2012 Author Share Posted November 16, 2012 Well, I'm back on the MEPD forums after being gone for too long. A few months ago I tried for MEPD deployment and needed to redo a few parts. One was my left shin. It was moving around while I walked. Now it's fixed. I have spent the past 3-4 troops adjusting it and finally got it fitting snug enough. I added in some nice foam strips to the inside. I was in the armor last week for 4 hours playing Shoot-The-Trooper and it didn't move on bit. Here are some shots of my shins now. Looks better now that they're aligned on my legs properly. Another area pointed out on my armor was that my chest piece was rising up and showing my undersuit. Now I have added a small strip of elastic which is Velcroed to the upper torso and lower chest and it keeps the chest armor pulled down nicely. Easy fix. The last thing was somebody wanted to see that I actually had the butt plate seperate from the torso. I always have. It hangs about 1/8" from the bottom of the torso via heavy duty snap system on the inside. Hope this butt-plate picture does the trick. Hope this helps with my deployment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
