nick.black Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Daniel, A beautiful bit of work my man. It's so nice to see dedication and hard work of this magnitude coming out of the MEPD. Your gear looks a million euros!!! Only small thing I would say is from the shots you have done a great job on the weathering of the white bit of your pauldron, but it looks like the black padded part is clean. Is this just the camera? All in all though I think Juan is gonna find it hard to find much on this one. Perhaps a touch more dirt on the hand plates and boots is all id suggest. Well done mate Nick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well done mate Nick Thank you very much for your kind words, Nick Yes...it's the stupid camera ...the black area is definitive dirty ...trust me To weather the hand plates is really difficult. On the latex the dirt sticks not so good And here are the boots in large view...I think the dirt/weathering is enough on the boots---> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joe Versku Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Brilliant. Wow. I was always torn between wanting to be "Move Along" or Davin. SWAT standards are so high now it's scary but I find it hard to believe you wouldn't be in the elite squad well before Celebration Europe !

iconoclasta_88 Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Looking really good bro! Seems that you have everything done and ready. I have a super busy day at work today and tomorrow cause I have a very big project due this wednesday, but I will try to give you a full deeper review ASAP. I am sure you will join the SWAT team in no time!!! Saludos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtyBoy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Dude!!! You look fantastic.....just have a couple of suggestions for you. 1. Lab pipe on left side of pack 2. Top center container needs to be lowered 3. Mortar disc should be smaller version 4. Radio main dial decal should be black 5. The cistern should be angled instead of mounted flat by the long tube. 6. There should be a hole in the tube near the keypad. But other than those minor fixes you look awesome!! Good luck man!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthChridan Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 At first...thanks for your kind words.... 1. We both had the discussion about the lap pipe in this topic---> http://forum.mepd.ne...showtopic=10005 Do you remember?!? I mean, there is no lap pipe (there is no a good reference pic, where I can see, there is definitely a lap pipe)...only later on the pack move along, even the black gaffa tape. 2.?!? 3. This is the mortar disc by crashmann. 4. That should be easy 5. ?!?! I look at the reference pics and on my pack...and I can't see what you mean, sry..... 6.Even here....please show me with a pic. Because of the other points...I can't see what you mean...maybe you can show me with a pic Best, Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Ya I remember:) Lab pipes def there. Take a look at The others swat thread... you can see what I mean about the other areas. Pictures are a challenge for me at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEvilJawa Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 That is a really good looking trooper under that bucket! It makes me glad I have a German blood descent. Great build and I hope you get that S.W.A.T. position! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can`t see a pipe on this image: And this pipe can`t be a part of the decision for the SWAT position. Daniel done a very good job and he has one of the best Sandtroopers I`ve ever seen. The "Look sir droids"-Trooper called Davin Felth in the book "Tales of Jabba's Palace". He has the ID 1023. I´ve the same number. That was the reason why I decided to do the "Look sir droids"-Trooper too. And I`ve never hear or see that he has a pipe on his left side. Some pics show us anything on left side other pics nothing. So I´ve to say once more: The pipe can`t be a part of the decision for the SWAT position ;-) This is my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Ya man....definitely has an amazing trooper replication going on.... Here's a couple pics that show the pipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 This one shows what most likely looks like the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtyBoy Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I could be wrong...because sometimes its hard to verify from my phone but if I'm not mistaken all other submission with this trooper have the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TK-1023 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 I know what you mean. But is there a different between the normal Trilogie and the special edition? This picture: is the scene after that. When he has a pipe where is it in the picture above (the picture I have posted)? I think it is only a part of the strapping for the backpack because it is between the shoulder and the backpack. And it isn`t at the backback. The other picture you posted is an "behind the scene" picture. Davin hasn`t there thighs You`re the 2nd chief now and your team decides the position but we don`t have a clear evidence for or against a pipe on the left side.
