tk7602 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 this week, just about everything i need arrived to make my sandyness a reality. i've got a target in sight: october 29. we're doing a parade, and i want to have the TD stuff set. from reading up here, i've got myself a list of things to do to the armor. anyone want to point out stuff that i might be missing? this is an ap suit i'm starting with - remove ab detail plate - replace knee plate with the diamond one - replace striped grey decals on the helmet with non-striped (is it just the teardrops?) - rip apart my butt cannister to mount parts on the pack. - dye my pouches black (brown leather currently) - pauldron - backpack (waiting on radio box, but otherwise good enough to troop in) - get it all dirty!! i've already got the flat green lenses, raised brow, and all my teeth i doubt i'll have a bfg ready for the parade. i want to do an mg-15 or a lewis, but if i have to i'll just carry an e-11.

Florida_Phil Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 - replace striped grey decals on the helmet with non-striped (is it just the teardrops?)All of them should be fully grey with black line around. Good luck man! And welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD-4935 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 the ab-plate detail is seperate anyway, thats a job sorted. i put the three button strip on after sanding the bottom button down and cutting an oblong shape out. will try and post a pic to show what i mean.

TD-4935 Posted September 21, 2006 Share Posted September 21, 2006 ab button detail. i think the oblong should be raised rather than cut out but i thought it would be easier to cut out. it'll be covered mostly by the belt anyway. got to remember to tone down the muck.

tk7602 Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 since i don't have the pack on yet, i'm holding up the pouch where it should be, just to get an idea of the look. i've got to finish up the pack and weather all of the accessories. ah, it feels good to be dirty! once it's all done i'm going to add a bit more dirt overall... a little bit of darker stuff here and there. like i saiid befor, i want more dusty than muddy, so i'm not planning to go nuts with it. but a bit more won't hurt!
