DirtyBoy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 CHRIS!!!! YOU LOOK AMAZING BRO!!!!! last detail I can see that needs to be there is the rivet on the ab box. bottom right corner. i know some guys use the battery method to provide the detail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 13, 2013 Share Posted August 13, 2013 and on your left thigh you should remove the weathering around the outer ridge...shorten the strips in the back a little so they line up better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgrace Posted August 14, 2013 Author Share Posted August 14, 2013 Our fearless CO sent me a text witha photo of the Ab detail I need to add. Thanks boss, forever working tirelessly to make us all better troopers. However, I just did a search for the "battery method" and cant find anything. Before I go an re-invent the wheel this weekend, does anyone have any suggestions on how to add this detail? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

DirtyBoy Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 No problem. Juan heated up the plastic and used a triple a battery to do the imprint if I'm not mistaken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE TROOPER Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Wow Chris, lookin good bro. Makes me wanna swat sooner than expected. .....Naaaah, im still havin a ball. By the way, the advice that DB is giving you is awesome. You should see him suited up man, it looks like straight out of the movies, even close up. Im just fortunate enough to be in the same garrison. Almost there bro......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhapsodyred99 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 The mods are great. one comment though the Handguards for this trooper are not supposed to be correct. he had them reversed post break, and had the right hand with a left guard pre break: They are both backwards on the post break version seen in this pic: But on the pre break version he has this left handplate: this is the pre break version: as seen here: Since you have the two large pouches on your belt you are the pre break version I think you are doing great!

darthgrace Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Here is the greeblie added to the ab plate: Thigh Backs: I am super busy this weekend so i will weather the pack during the week and get you photos. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 Great job with the rivet....the thigh backs are still off man. the problem is the extra ridges that would normally be in the center with the strips over it. I was hoping if you removed the weathering there it would help. You may have to heat that area up and reform it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthgrace Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 I did some major work on my thighs this weekend as well as weathered my pack. I basically got rid of the velcro system I had on the backs of the thights. I shaped them so the opening around the knees is tighter. I filled it all in with bondo and smoothed it all out. I was able to paint them but I have no wethered them yet. I am hoping to do that tonight and post pics tomorrow. I did encounter a new problem. I cant fit my feet through the thighs if i have my boots on. Does anyone else have this problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
