Smally Posted November 26, 2012 Share Posted November 26, 2012 Hi Chris. Great news in the 501st membership. Maybe post up some pics for deployment review - this will help the mods. Not only that but we get to check out some pics again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looks fantastic bro! Should be an easy pass. Might want to post a closeup of the ammo belt corners though. Hard to tell if they have the small 45 degree angles cut on the corners. Other than that, looks amazing! Great job and good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick.black Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Really good build Chris. Yes if we can see closups of your belt, side rivets etc. Plus can you show the E-11 on its own and the D-ring at the back please. The only observation I would have is that your pack exhaust port is just a bit too long. It shouldnt go above the top of the mushroom cap next to it.

SCRIBBLER Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Nice rig there, Troop! To echo Nick, the only thing that stands out off the bat is the length of the exhaust port, but that can be modded later if and when you choose to go SWAT. Otherwise, the pack is fine for standard Officer deployment. Excellent attention to details and the weathering is definitely up to snuff. If you can, we'll need to see the D-Ring detail on your blaster and a close up of your belt edges as noted earlier, as well. Lastly, your right knee ammo belt position may need to be fixed. It looks riveted in the wrong position. Also, a slight adjustment of your left thigh so it doesn't ride up against the top of the sniper plate. Or you can just simply pull the left shin up a bit for the pics. Juan has final say on your gear, but great job and hope to see you in the precinct soon, Brother. Good luck!

darthgrace Posted November 27, 2012 Author Share Posted November 27, 2012 Thanks guys. i do want to go SWAT for the move along trooper so the comments are greatly appreciated. I will get the following photos tonight: 1. the rivets on the side of the ab plate 2. D-Ring on the E-11 3. 45 degree angle on the belt These things have already been done. I will also get pics of the ammo strap to confirm that it is or isn't attached correctly. Where should it be? I will also look into fixing the exhaust port. Thanks for the help guys!

RETNUHHA Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 LOOKS GOOD!! Not sure if this affects police officer deployment, but it looks like your thigh ammo belt is attached at the bottom mid section. i believe it should be attached from the top rear corners. good luck.

Yep was just going to say that myself. It's a common thing people seem to do with their knee ammo packs. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordonator Posted November 27, 2012 Share Posted November 27, 2012 Looking good. The 2 weapons looks too clean though. Would look better with some weathering but this won't affect your Deployment. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgrace Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 Hey Gordon, I agree about weathering the weapons but I cant bring myself to dirty up the T-21. It is a work or art. But I guess it will look better broken in. Here are the updated/additional pics: D-Ring on the E-11: left side of the belt: right side of the belt: left side rivets: 2 male snaps on back of crotch area: Here is the updated pics on the ammo pack. Is the the correct location? right thigh, left side ammo pack: right thigh, right side ammo pack: If this is the right location I will fill in the hole with some epoxy putty, sand it smooth and level and paint/weather it. That is unless someone has any better suggestions on how to fix this. Let me know and thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster Posted November 28, 2012 Share Posted November 28, 2012 OK. Since I am the builder of the pack that Chris is using for deployment, let me just point out two things. 1. The pack is 100% acceptable for Police Officer Deployment. 2. Really? The exhaust port is too high? Come on guys. I know you want to be sticklers for accuracy, but if that's the case, then how was this pack acceptable for SWAT... There are obvious accuracy issues here and they were overlooked. My point is, if we are gonna be sticklers for all the little things, then there better be some consistancy with it. To Chris, if the length on your exhaust port tube is a problem when the time comes for SWAT Deployment, or if you are just not happy with it, I will make it good. Even if I have to drive up to you to make it right. Just say the word. I stand 100% behind anything I build. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgrace Posted November 28, 2012 Author Share Posted November 28, 2012 No worries John. If it needs to be altered I will take a stab at it. Just have some spare parts ready in case I mess it up I love my pack. It is a work of art. I would recommend it to anyone who asked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
