Blackwatch

I cant verify anywhere that the red and blue lights were ever actually turned on, i cant see them in the dark lit scenes. Do we have anything that shows them working? id like to include it but like all lights we need to see them working, like on Vader or Fett. Lets call this change log 2.0 Forearms may be present on both arms and consist of flat angled plates with facets joined at an angle at the outermost part of the arm. If the right shoulder and bicep are not present, the forearm is not present. The left forearm may also be missing. Forearms are symmetrical and mirrored left to right. Four allen-head screws are present on the lower longer trapezoid shape area on the forearm. A commpad featuring various depressions and shapes is mounted to the left forearm. One red and one blue acrylic rectangle approximately 3/4" (19 mm) x 1" (25mm) are present on the lower side of the commpad. These are not lighted. The Com-pad has 4 low profile button head screws with centered flat slots. Flexible straps with a tannish or white color, similar to the lower leg straps design, are fixed to the forearm white strapping, and closes with a white side release buckle with square opening on the side. The rest of the strap is white textile webbing. The receiving end of the side release clip is fixed to the longer trapezoid side. A white cylindrical torch approximately 3/4" (19mm) x 4" (100mm) is present on the inner edge of the left forearm. Inside of the forearm should be padded so it does not fit tightly to the arm. Forearms and straps are weathered to match the rest of the armor.

Im ok with that. After spending the money on getting a new holster JUST for Del Id ike to have a E11 to carry as well as the DLT since we see him in game with the E11 a lot of the time.

i reallllly wish my waist was that small. Thats one thing I fear about wearing this armor, just how small the waist line circuference is.

the backplate on the ISB agent back got changed and the hose ports are different there, and we dd touch on those differences. That would help sort it.

Hi again Paul and thanks for taking care of this!!!! Ok, very good questions you got there, and I think for the sake of simpicitiy and instead of doing all three suitups, lets do a suitup using the matching green WITH the sigil. This photo shows us all the variants, and it'll be up to the LMO to decide but a full proper suitup with the matching green with sigil gets us moving. Thanks again for taking care of this.

hi John which costume is this for?

yeah, agreed, lets keep that and rock on. These are only L2 changes. Here's how it will look once edited with bullet points. Is there any more input on the scout det? Thermal Detonator Attached to the back of the belt is a rectangular gloss black Thermal Detonator with a black corrugated hose. The ends of the hose is covered by gloss black end caps. The Thermal Detonator fits between the two back belt pouches. There are two silver detail greeblies on the central box. These details consist of a dome-shaped greeblie on the left side of the box and rectangular greeblie with various designs on the right side of the box. For basic (Level 1) approval a gloss black Shadow Scout style Thermal Detonator with standard greeblies is acceptable, as long as the greeblies are painted silver. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Made with reference to the game's 3D model and scaled to the wearer. The detonator consists of a boxy central structure containing a ribbed hose, and end caps which are "closed" where the tube enters the end cap. The detonator box features a round dome-shaped greeblie approximately 5/8" (16mm) on the left side and a 3/4" x 1.5" (19mm x 33mm) rectangular greeblie featuring various designs as seen in the reference images. The standard shadow scout thermal detonator is not accurate and is not to be used for Level 2 approval.

I am taking another stab at writing this piece. I am TOTALLY OPEN to anyone helping me reword this. Change Log 1.2. This is a major edit. Forearms Forearms are may be present on both arms and consist of flat angled plates with facets joined at an angle at the outermost part of the arm. If the right shoulder and bicep are not present, the forearm is not present. The left forearm may also be missing. Forearms are not are symmetrical and mirrored left to right. The plates of the left forearm are shorter than the right forearm. A commpad featuring varous depresssions and shapes is mounted to the left forearm. One red and one blue acrylic rectangle approximately 3/4" (19 mm) x 1" (25mm) are present on the lower side of the commpad. These are not lighted. Four allen head flat screws are present on the corners. There are four colored depressions on the commpad block near the ebow. There are two tan or beige straps on each forearm. Part of the strap is molded and resembles the shin straps. The remainder of the strap is white cotton textile webbing and closes with a whlte side release buckle with square opening on the side. A white cylndrical torch approximately 3/4" (19mm) x 4" (100mm) is present on the inner edge of the left forearm. It may be lighted with a battery mounted inside the forearm. No wires are visible. Inside of the forearm should be padded so it does not fit tightly to the arm. Forearms and straps are weathered to match the rest of the armor.

dannnnnnnnnnnnng Yup--my printer is pretty busy these days but its gonna get a workout on that one.

Interesting stuff. I do apprecitate the insiders POV and I want to thank those in the know for the resect and candor shown in the discussion. How can I improve my description of the forearm component? its pretty sizeable and I dont feel its correctly fleshed out for what it is.

Hi Fernando Welcome to the spec opf forum. Can you also head over to the Spec Ops recruits section and make a post there, so we make sure you are set up with the correct permissions. The coat is an original desing, and doesnt share much in common at all with a BDU coat. And i have a LOT of BDU coats leftove from my service days. I dont know of a pattern for it, and people have been making them from scratch. I know Sheev's Emporium has posted all their research on their FB page, and JimTripon JImmiroqui and KeepTrooping are offering them for sale. I would be inclined to say its pretty simple but I know its not, because in all our research on it, there are features that are blended from othe military blouses over time. The coat hoooks on the sides to hold the belt, the mandarin collar, the cut of the sleeves, its a custom job. You COULD start with a simple jacket patttttern like farm chore coat or even a long sleeve shirt pattern and work ack from that, keepiing in mind the overlap similar to a BDU coat, the blouses featured a back yoke which is easy to see on the green uniforms. You can take a look at a very early sketch a tailor worked out in a post on this page .

I THINK most likely just running it up under the back flap would hold it but having a stitch would keep it from popping off.

thanks guys. My mind is kinda fried right now. Once Im in a better state of mind I can try to write that, but if you want to write it feel free, youve got the hands on- im literally looking at a screen, so you know more what it looks and feels like than I do.

Ive had limited internet access and now that Im back in the forum and seeing this , I am in agreement. I see no changes to be made.

Let stay on track troopers, lets not get off in the weeds again. Options are Options, we are focused on the core of the costume first. If anyone wants to try to clean up my pathetic attemp to describe the forearms, please do. We cannot move forward until we get a full, complete, accurate description of the forearms. Regarding the tan/ beige, would the saharah beige used on the Shoretroopers be appropriate here? Change Log Version 1.1 Forearms Forearms are present on both arms and consist of flat angled plates with facets joined at an angle at the outermost part of the arm. Forearms are not symmetrical. The ower angled plates of the left forearm are shorter than the right forearm. A commpad featuring varous depresssions and shapes is mounted to the left forearm. There are four colored depressions on the commpad block near the ebow. There are two tan or beige straps on each forearm. Part of the strap is molded and resembles the shin straps. The remainder of the strap is white cotton webbing and closes with a whlte side release buckle. A white torch may be present on the left forearm. when we get to the torch/ penlight, these look like options?
