P3laton3 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Looking good!!!! and great work so far!!! but I was thinking about one thing: the forearm shouldn't get 11 holes on the left and 12 on the right one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthgrace Posted July 1, 2013 Author Share Posted July 1, 2013 Gees i hope that is not true about the forearms. Here is the picture I am looking at that has 11 on the right arm. Let me know if I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inglorious trooper Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 yeah,ruggero,s right! as for as i know RS and TM are only armourers that do them correctly! so if that is a now S.W.A.T. requirement there are going to be a lot of unhappy people wanting to go for S.W.A.T.! so i doubt this will become one!

P3laton3 Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 I still count 12 holes (it's partially covered by the shoulder bell). I thought it was something like the rivet shape on the abs plate or the exact number of open teeth on the frown or the right number of bumps on the ears... ^_^ Anyway not being a CRL requirement don't worry at all. ^_^ here the uncut shot I don't wanna see anyone unhappy, we make this for passion and for charity, but I am also a pixel fans and I like point this out if someone wants push his limits even further. ^_^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beren Posted July 1, 2013 Share Posted July 1, 2013 Chris, I think overall you have a really nice looking SWAT submission. Have you considered closing the back of your thighs permanently? You may need to shim the backs if your legs are big, but I think it would be a nice improvement. Keep up the hard work... This is what SWAT is all about!

SCRIBBLER Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Hi, Chris! Thanks for posting updates of your armor/gear. You are definitely on the right path. Nice job! Due to different details in various armor models (i.e. notches in forearms, Missing rivet detail on ab plate mid section, etc...) We will have to confirm what is acceptable with the Senior Commanders. Hang in there, SWAT status is closer than you think. Let's continue...

But overall, you're getting real close. Stand by... Some notes: 1.) See if you can 'flatten' out the small tool pouch on your shoulder MP-40. Maybe put a wood block in there or something similar. The 'floppy' look throws off the appearance a bit... 2.) Need to reshape the end edge of your knee ammo plate to match the screen cap... 3.) Need to see pics of repaired Thigh armor backs. 4.)

Try to replicate the 'shotgun shell' positioning 4.) Need to add Wire detail around radio midsection with (close to) accurate twist appearance at the wire connect points on right side of radio. 5.) Need to change the stinger. Too thin. (See ref pics below) 6.) Need to mount radar dish on a slightly lager black disc. (See screen cap) *DIRTY BOY ' carries the screen accurate dish/assembly.
