Dazauto Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Ok guys after having my armour and pack strewn all the around the house I thought it was about time to try it all on and get some pics taken. This armour and lid started its life as my first TK and was used many times with the UK Garrison until I got myself another set to troop in. It sat in a box doing nothing with my partner nagging away to get it sold saying I would never wear it again then I pulled out a toilet syphon at work and the rest is history, many of you have left some great comments on the pack I built in a seperate wip I did here on the boards. The armour I have done here was an old FX and had a blue tinge to it so even though with weathering it was still quite hard to match up with different more accurate parts so im hoping ive done ok. The abb details and sniper plate came from TM, shoulder bells from a UKg member and biceps from my good friend Andy (BFA) . The lid is made from fibreglass and from an unknown maker. I still have a few bits to do and some adjustments to make and also have another MP40 pouch on its way. Sorry if the pics are not all that great but it was just a quick try on to see how everything looks, but I would welcome all your comments and advice guys Here you go and please be gentle : Its weird to see that I dont look that dirty in the pics but in the flesh my armour looks as if I just walked through a sand storm !!!!
