DirtyBoy Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Lookin good bro. Only thing I would say if your looking to go more screen accurate would be to tone down the weathering just a little....get some more white on your gear. Build looks solid though man...nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Great looking kit man! Awesome job! I would agree that there should be more "randomness" to the weathering, though it does look really good. I don't think it would hinder you getting P.O. status though, but I am not a judge. I think your pauldron just needs to be twisted towards the back more. It is sitting funny. That is the only thing I really see that would be an issue. Great kit bro, good luck!!!!!

SphereBase21 Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 I appreciate everyone's comments, and they are definitely helpful. I've been looking forward to joining the MEPD. I was going for a slightly more dirty look (lots of patrols). However, I completely understand being a little less dirty would enhance the armors appearance. Guess I could lighten it up. The pauldron (like the armor), was from RS Prop Masters (hopefully it's OK), and usually goes on after my backpack. If good perhaps I was a little off on positioning the straps for the Pauldron, and other gear? I find as I troop more, I'm making some adjustments to my weathering and gear. Thanks for the assistance, Kevin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strider Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 Yep, besides the points already mentioned and maybe a little too low hanging pouch - looking fab, bro! Nice seeing one of John's excellent packs as well.Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baron Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 It is not so much that it is too dirty, just maybe needs a little more color. I used 4 different shades on mine to try to round it out. I was also going for the dirty sandy dusty look. And your pauldron just looks like it needs to be re-adjusted is all. It kinda looks like it is falling off the front of you, otherwise the pauldron is fine. You might also want to adjust your shoulder ammo pouch. It is also hanging. Did you put anything in them to firm them up? I don't think any of this would get you denied P.O. approval, but I am not a judge. Your kit looks awesome and looks like it fits you well brother! Good Luck!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCRIBBLER Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 Very nice looking rig you got there, Troop! Excellent weathering technique. Good luck on your Deployment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SphereBase21 Posted November 6, 2015 Author Share Posted November 6, 2015 Thanks for all the great comments on the kit. They are all very much appreciated. Sounds good concerning the armor, pack and overall rig. I took another look at the Pauldron, that I had received with the armor, and I think repositioning it will defiantly be very helpful, and would appear alright. Still I like trying to make everything connected with the kit, if it might be possible, to meet the highest level. New to most of this, but definitely worth it. So I've ordered another Pauldron. This time from Trooper1. I was informed the pauldron should be ready around the time of TFA release. So hopefully, it will be cool at that time to suit up, and take a couple more shots, with the pauldron from Trooper1, to add to my deployment request depending on its status.

Shadowfax821 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Nice kit my friend I agree on toning down the weathering just a touch but otherwise you have a great armor and an excellent T-21 blaster. Good luck brother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SphereBase21 Posted January 31, 2016 Author Share Posted January 31, 2016 I greatly appreciate my application review, and everyone's comments and support. I received my new pauldron from Trooper1, and I'm in the process of weathering it now, as well as making the weathering on my armor just a little less dirty. I hope to be done soon (work has kept me busy unfortunately), as I'm looking forward to submitting a photo with my updated pauldron, weathering, and repositioned shoulder pouch. Thanks, Kevin.

SphereBase21 Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 Here are my additional photos, that include the recommended changes. I have the Pauldron from Trooper 1, and have tried to raise the shoulder pouch. Also, tried to redo the weathering to lighten it up a little, which took some extra time. If any additional changes might be needed, please let me know. I really appreciate everyone's assistance, and the great help provided by Felice, with his review. Thanks, Kevin.
