Hausi Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 I thought about the plastic end caps at the top end of my Karrimor frame: and remembered having once seen a picture where they looked different and found this screen grab: I assume that they are from a different earlier version of the Karrimor Totem: So I had to change them and luckily I have found some endcaps that would fit and match the look in my local diy store: And now I am really happy with my pack: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 And finally I completely redid the weathering on my left shin as it was too dark. Before: almost clean again: and after a lot of work it looks like this (in different lighting): Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 1, 2019 Author Share Posted August 1, 2019 Ah, almost forgot the references I was working (and almost going crazy) with: Tomorrow I will take some pics of myself in armor again. Cheers mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted August 2, 2019 Author Share Posted August 2, 2019 Here I am back in armor again different lighting: Not too much posing trying to emulate the screen grabs this time, my wife wasn´t very happy anyway, especially as I managed to headbutt her with my helmet when taking it off while she was moving closer to show me the pics, damn! Anyhow, that´s it, cheers mates Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted August 4, 2019 Share Posted August 4, 2019 Good morning Urs, i studied your changes and pictures, so let´s go and start the second review: MEPD SWAT OFFICER: application review Part 2 Name: Urs Tischhauser Legion ID#0: TD-21027 Forum Name: hausi Garrison: German Garrison ANH Sandtrooper emulated: Move along Helmet: Green lenses: check Paint color on traps / tears: check Paint color and number of teeth: check Mic Tips: check Vocoder color: check Rank bar: check Brow: check Side Screws (ears): check Weathering: check **Result on helmet** check and cleared!

The reference pictures in the movie were made under different conditions. That's why it looks brighter and then darker. The same problem had Heroma, SWAT # 50, by his thigh. From the front it looks bright, laterally extremely dark. A question of contrast. In the first pictures from you, it still looks too dark, in others it fits again. It's difficult to get the right lighting conditions like there. That's why you get a "go" from me. Very good work Urs! **Additional Comments** Urs, the pouch is not quite right yet. The distance forward is now correct, but the up position is not quite right. The pouch hangs a bit over the belt and hides it, with you still underneath. Please set it higher. You look in the picture, the slanted end of the belt is hidden. **Result on Armor** PENDING BACKPACK **Result on backpack** check and cleared! WEAPON: E-11 Tunisian Blaster (Bapty) Details: Check Weathering: Check **Result on Weapon** check and cleared! Urs, only one little change and your trooper is ready for SWAT! I expect the change shortly! Best regards, bigwam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted August 4, 2019 Author Share Posted August 4, 2019 You are right, I have noticed this too, the problem was that the threading was too close to the edge of the leash, so the belt couldn´t simply slide under. but as the thread was already coming loose, I just cut it and took it out. I used a screw to reposition the little leash. I didn´t put on the whole armor again, just the parts to show what it looks like now and I am happy with the result. I hope you are too, Thomas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sn4k3 Posted March 26, 2020 Share Posted March 26, 2020 ¿The original strapping system is not a requirement for level 3?, I hope not because that system put too much stress on the armorSent from my GM1900 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
