inglorious trooper Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 hey frank, awsome build bro,i can see some real detail mate!! just one thought,i dont know how tall you are but is there any way you can bring your shins up just an inch higher,maybe by using a bit of velcro to hold them in place without them going over the boots? that way maybe you could bring the thighs up an inch higher aswell! its just a thought to bring your thighs that little bit closer to the bottom of your abplate if you can, like i say just my thought mate! good luck with your deployment!

rhapsodyred99 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks Guys, I had a heck of a time on that canvas one, I took sandpaper and paint to the leather ones and beat them up fairly easily, but that canvas one just sucks in the paint and looks good as new. I was afraid to take sandpaper to it and rough it up and have the seams start coming loose. I'll take sandpaper and hit the leather straps, and try a more concentrated paint on the canvas and get an updated pic of the pouch. Thanks again!

nick.black Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Frank, Awesome build mate, looks really good and I'm glad to see you've gone for some of the accurate details of the "move along" trooper from the very start. I would echo what Marcus said and say I think your thighs could do with lifting a little, they should almost meet your cod at the top ideally (I know its hard sometimes because of leg shapes and such). It also looks like you've got a strange shape on the back of your left thigh, maybe try and level that out so its a smooth shape at the back. Other than that as Mike has already said, you are very nearly there for deployment. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frank, I simply used the same process as weathering my armour for my canvas pouch, much like dry brushing weathering onto weapons. The canvas shouldnt suck up paint if it is already dry. Just use a light brown type colour to give it a used and work look. Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rhapsodyred99 Posted February 21, 2013 Author Share Posted February 21, 2013 The legs can go further i thinnk. I have them for with the loop of elastic and a belt. I think i just did not put it high enough since i like more flexability. I will look into options there including the thigh back for the future.

SCRIBBLER Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Outstanding work, Frank! Awesome armor and gear right out of the gate! Very nice job, Brother! Your attention and commitment to detail is definitely recognized! Last note, I do have to say that RS suits are impressive in their own right. But, when weathered?
