SCRIBBLER Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 @ JamesThank you for your interest in joining the Elite and submitting your request for SWAT OFFICER Activation. As I told a SWAT applicant (Felix / TK-20047) last year, it really is nice to see different TD versions other than the ever popular MOVE ALONG Trooper from time to time. During this process, there may be some mods that will need to be taken care of. Details that need to be even more fine tuned in comparison to past SWAT members. The bar is always being set higher.As stated before, we always stress PATIENCE during this process as we pay more and more attention to fine tuning with each new SWAT applicant. The MEPD Senior Commanders and myself will give your armor / gear a full inspection and review. Some details may definitely be missed and re-checked, but we will try to catch them on every pass given until you are cleared and ready to join the Special Weapons & Tactics Team, Brother! With that said, let's begin...MEPD SWAT OFFICER: APPLICATION REVIEW (PART 1)Name: James HoyLegion ID #: TD-46800Forum Name: Mr_HairGarrison: UK Garrison** ANH SANDTROOPER SELECTED **: CANTINA CAPTAINI.) HELMET:a.) Green Lenses -- (SEE COMMENTS)b.) Paint Color on Traps / Tears -- CHECKc.) Number Of Teeth -- CHECKd.) Mic Tips -- CHECKe.) Vocoder Color (Black) -- CHECKf.) Tube Stripes -- CHECKg.) Rank Bar -- CHECKh.) Brow -- (SEE COMMENTS)i.) Side Screws (Ears): CHECKj.) Weathering: (SEE COMMENTS)** Additional Comments -- A.) DEPLOYMENT OFFICER:First off, this is a an excellent helmet build. Good job! You are very close to getting cleared with this bucket, but there are a few mods to take care of.If you want to get this section as screen accurate as possible (which is what SWAT is all about), please see below: 1.) Lenses - Although this detail was probably taken care of in your standard deployment pics, we still need to see the green lenses in the SWAT review.2.) Paint Drip Details - Not sure if you did this, but post close up pics of the face. Would like to see this simple mod if it hasn't been done. It will really make the difference, Brother!3.) Brow - Try to re-adjust the brow to match the ref pics. It appears to be sitting a little lower than canon. A quick mod for sure.B.) EXECUTIVE OFFICER: (Comments Pending)C.) COMMANDING OFFICER: (Comments Pending)II.) Armor / Suit Details:a.) Shoulder Straps -- (SEE COMMENTS)b.) Neck Seal -- CHECKc.) Black Undersuit -- CHECKd.) Shoulder Bells -- CHECKe.) Biceps -- CHECKf.) Forearms -- CHECKg.) Pauldron -- CHECKh.) Chest / Back Plate -- CHECKI.) Kidney / Butt Plate -- CHECKj.) Ab Plate / Side Rivets / Cod -- CHECKk.) Thighs -- CHECKl.)

Ammo Belt (Right Knee) -- CHECKs.) Canvas Belt -- CHECKt.) Pouches -- CHECKu.) Weathering -- (SEE COMMENTS)v.) Crotch Snaps -- CHECK** Additional Comments -- A.) DEPLOYMENT OFFICER: Your weathering details are awesome, James! Nice work! Now we can focus our attention on the following...1.) The chest pattern needs to be tweaked just a tad. It could be the lighting again, but It looks a bit too dark. As you already know (and it does look like you've done your homework) the chest pattern matches that of the 'STOP THAT SHIP" Trooper. Try to lighten up the detail and match the pics of the references below... *** REFERENCE PICS (courtesy of PANDATROOPER) *** 2.) I need to see a close up of your shoulder straps. *NOTE: Canvas is acceptable (for now), but white (weathered) elastic is definitely preferred for accuracy. Bonus points if decide to do this mod. 3.) Everything else looks fantastic! Now wIth that said, if something on your rig does catch our attention during this current review process and needs to be modded, we will let you know ASAP. B.) EXECUTIVE OFFICER:(Comments Pending)C.) COMMANDING OFFICER: (Comments Pending)III.) BACKPACK: VERSION # 3 a.) Details -- (SEE COMMENTS)b..) Weathering -- CHECKA.) DEPLOYMENT OFFICER: Great pack build, Troop!Excellent weathering and details! Just a couple of requests...1.) The pack needs to sit just a little bit higher on your back. A couple of inches should do it.2.) I need to see a close up pic of your lab pipe. It could just be the angle or lighting, but it appears too long.C.) COMMANDING OFFICER: (Comments Pending)IV.) WEAPON: DLT-19a.) Details -- CHECKb..) Weathering -- CHECK** Additional Comments -- A.) DEPLOYMENT OFFICER: Outstanding looking weapon. Nothing more to say here. **CHECKED & CLEARED**B.)

mr_hair Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 Thank you for your feedback. Green lenses, check... Also, I have actually already done the paint drips as shown in the photos, they obviously just weren't too clear in the pics... Shoulder straps were elastic, but I swapped them for off white canvas as the elastic sagged quite a bit with the shoulder bells attached. I can swap back though Lab pipe close up... ...yep looks a bit too long there. I'm off work for a few days after tomorrow. Will trim it down & lighten the weathering a bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 @ James - Thanks for the quick update pics, Brother! Your straps should be fine. I know how those elastic pieces can get. lol But, if you have any old pics of the attached elastic straps, they would be nice to see. I'll get another review post in later tonight. Great work so far!
