This buckle is hidden under the scout pouch and is not seen when worn.

im old fashioned, but its worked great for me over the years. I put the side shot in Paint, cropped and inverted. its helped me win arguments about shadows, pockets, seams and straps over the years. I see the same folds of cloth you would get when you wrap a box in canvas. But, UNLESS any pocket flap (if one does exist) is covered by the horizontal strap, I would argue this is a block covered in canvas. All images posted reinforce this.

is there any further comment on the tactical vest and armor section? I would like to get this major segment ready to lock into final text prior to Noon Central US time Friday (Ive got a roof inspetor coming)

@Raider were in agreement, level of gloss does not change basic approval, but will affect Specialist.

is anyone besides IB making this boot, since we want it in a high gloss for L2, it has to be obtainable either by purchase, or by working it at home.

updated vest description above. No new change log number for that one line addition.

Im going to put this here as a placeholder for the helmet. We are urrently discussing the Flak Vest and armor, but do need to re-address the hemlet. We will go back and revisit that topic. So the JRS is asking for a seperate rubber vocodor.interesting.

Thats a great read Radu, thank you for posting!

That will be a question for Endor Finders to answer, and since they are sold in pairs that doubles their sale rate.

Thanks to everyone who worked on this. Forward progress!

Quick update- waiting new photos and final LMO review.

Quick update on this. Currently at CL 1.1 . We should have all input in by now.

Ok, so now we have the flightsuit at change log 1.3 on the previous page. We have discussed the commpad and have a working model of it. we have not talked about the gloves, those are next in CRL order. Lets get those hammered out. This part should be quick, once we are in agreement we move to the next section.

they do. even my old BishopX typical commpad clone has bent buttons, but most of the newer 3D files no longer bend and all of the buttons are elevated . there is a discussion on the new commpad elsewhere here in this Topic . New pads will be available soon.
