Purplehaze Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Hi Guys, Well after 12 months of reading, researching, ordering & constructing, I finally got to put on the whole outfit for the first time & for a first timmer I am pretty happy with the outcome so far. Couple of things though, how do you all stop the fog issue in your helmets because I can't see S*%# after a minute & also the pauldron is trying to choke me !!. I havent put the clips on the armor for the belt yet so i didn't put on the ammo pouches as they were pulling the belt down. The helmet is an eFX which has be modified to Police officer requirements & the armor is the NE armor (same as the ones I put up in the NE thread) Dutchy started. The pack was built by John "Quatermaster" Hopper. Anyway hope you like it so far & I welcome any advice. Thanks Andrew. P.S. Sorry it is so clean the weathering is next!!!!!!!!!

Sandman Tigui Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looking good Andrew, now get out in the dunes and earn your dirt great your almost there bro!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smally Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Looking good mate. Do you own a neck seal? I ask only because you can clearly see your neck in the pics. As for the lenses, I know a few people have this issue. Some will suggest putting fans inside the helmet to increase air flow, however, my tried and tested way is simply put a thin layer of washing up liquid on the insides of the lenses. These methods will help but just be aware that indoors the lenses can fog up quickly. For the pauldron, try putting Velcro under the black padded part where it meets you chest armour Good start mate. Well done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince, it is an eFX that has been modified to police officer requirements. It is acceptable for police officer but not SWAT. I confirmed this with the bosses before I modified it.

Gordonator Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Good luck and hope to see you in the legion soon. I used to have a MRCE helmet as well before I join the Legion. It's kinda heavy to wear for long hours of trooping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
