Blackwatch

a little red boat. Is that a first for Spec Ops???

Thanks Krzystof! I concur, your gear will look much better if you paint it all to be the same shade and it matches. All of my gear is painted, then weathered with mud. The gloves do seem large and they have what looks like padding on the fingers that is not appropriate. you have a lot of excess strap so you can drop the hooks on the straps to the bottom of the belt, or even take the hooks off and loop the webbign around the belt to hold it then run it back through the triglides. Drop the triglides down below the pocket and that will help hold the belt. The back pouch straps are dangling, for your L2 approval Id like to see those straps secured so they do not dangle.

from the photos and watching the series i never saw any of this crinkle texture. This looks like what gets painted onto toolboxes to make them more wear resistant.

I agree with all 3 of Marks recommendations. I have two items from Sheevs Emporium and it was a great experience. I follow Geekys Gaskets and would love to get some stuff from her one day as well.

Our CRLS will be handled one at a time. I have all the text written, but we need to wait for LMO review on the Aldhani troopers first.

i understand. Yes, some GMLs take their job very, very, VERY seriously. I like your boots, youve done well on them. I know there is a way to cut the panels to fit you, ive seen it done, they are not straight, or rectangular panel but more of an oblong.

ok cool, and thank you. That really helps. It fits on a CR10, but i have to run my armor through armorsmith to fit me.

Sebastion I think you may be correct. The brass was brought over, and it can be edited.

Thank you TJ!!!!

wow , this is so good to see!!! We are gtting close to having CRL models!

You look like you walked off the set.

Chris would this new file work wth the box inserts in the back? I have all that printed, and Im not opposed to running a new print for the new back and chest parts knowing that these would align properly with velcro.

Agreed, we just had Mardi Gras here and the world basically collapsed around us into a drunken mass.

yes thats the one. I dont know why its showing a mudtrooper image on the thumbnail.

Thank you Simon! I see the top of the knee greeve in the plastic bits.

All the research and the test paints were done in the Andor topic. The black color appears to be Montana Gold Anthracite.

well done as always Patricia. your goggles showed up last night, Ill get them out to you ASAP with your husbands ERT pants. I thnk you may be the first to make pouches from scratch. Would that be something you would consider doing for others, especially in Europe where the shipping from here would be redonkulous?

Thanks boss !

i have to print my helmets, most helmets will not fit me, or if they do, they are TIGHT.

we prefer that you link directly to a third party host such as Imgur or photobucket rather than load directly since that front loads our storage. I have dozens maybe a hundred photos linked from both of my accounts here. Instructions on how to load images are found in the Recon Dragons instructions page.

I jus got a brand new prototype suit from Philonius and the standing collar is really stiff. I think it has some stabilizer in there. Its also fairly tall. I think I really like that over the whimpy collars I have been making. I have asked him if he can look into making green IA coveralls for us.

Its a large, flapped pocket. There are EXTREMELY few options for the coveralls especially in my size, so when I wrote it I left it vague on purpose. The art does not agree with itself and when it does show something, it's completely inconsistent. We have stuff showing up in one panel that is never seen again on any other panel. That's the limitations of working from comic artists. Concerning the two piece, I believe you did that before on one of your RL uniforms? Where you hid the split line under the belt?

If it shows up in deleted scenes or is shown in behind the scenes blueray chapters that would really help.

From Fraser (who was on set as a extra in uniform) the helmets are the same used for the green troopers in the checkpoints scenes, and those were repainted to the dark grey after the Rix road scenes were filmed. Many of the parts used came in boxes marked R1 but it is likely the case that the armor and helmets were new. Several parts of the armor bits did not survive these scenes for use at the later filming dates for the security checkpoint. The helmet is somewhat different from the mudtrooper helmet, but the text for the checkpoint version has already been completed.

Thank you @sonfield, as always tank you @fb501 and @BigJasoni I agree, and Ill tag @IcyTrooper to let him know that Ill be including the verbiage suggested in that first round proposal. I was watching a Korean space epic last week, and the armor was clearly form fitting and flexed when the actress moved. Ok, so its Friday and as previously stated Ill be packaging up the blaster text and adding to the first post. Ill be going with the text proposal I had on Wednesday at 1852. I know we have to wait for the LMO to be ratified and seated before we can push on much further, but with the final text for the blaster, we have a proposal now to put in front of the LMO on day 1. I have already written the text for the soft and armored version of the Security trooper, and Ive noted on rewatching there are some unusual color placements on the black soft uniform. This has been a big effort on the part of a lot of people. We are very fortunate to have Fraser give us his input from the field. Thank you all, Now lets go enjoy the weekend!
