iconoclasta_88 Posted September 23, 2012 Share Posted September 23, 2012 Pack is coming along really cool bro! I guess now you would only need the radio side strap brackets and the building process would be done. About the paint job and detailing... the Move Along Trooper's pack has the radio faceplate all painted black, so even if you added the dial decals, it should be all painted black on top. Or you could just removed them and add them later on after SWAT evaluation. I would personally leave them on and just give it a light layer of black. Bluey did that and his radio looked awesome. Cause that is what I think would have happened for real anyway. But that is your choice bro. Also, dont forget to add the wire around the radio box... Then add a little weathering... And I do think Rick's feedback would be great to have. He is more of a pack expert than me! What about your armor weathering. I know you started reworking it, but then passed it to Dave H to give it the final touch. I most admit your thread is getting a it long and a lot has been discussed, agreed and worked... but I think that you should post final pictures of you in your whole gear once you are ready for final evaluation and deployment... you could also post just pictures of every part and gear, but anyway I guess you will have to suit up for your profile picture anyway. I am really looking forward to see you join the SWAT team. Lets make it happen!! Saludos. Juan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveMars Posted September 24, 2012 Share Posted September 24, 2012 Thank you Juan! I've just returned to the UK & hope to get the final jobs done within the next week Dave has the clips ready to put on & I've got some wire so I should be sorted in no time My raw umber didn't show up very well on the black fascia so need a lighter colour Thanks for the feedback Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
