Blackwatch

FOr L2 you are going to want to completely hide those black clips. Mine are attached to the very bottom edge of my belt, I dont even use the holes since it goes to the bottom. The position of the strap over the pocket flap is much better. In practice they move all over because there just isnt any weight to hold tem down like on real miiltary straps.

Thanks Sean Ok so lets clean this up Proposal v.2 Bicep For basic approval a one piece bicep is permitted. The bicep may appear "open" or split as seen on screen. Cover strips will appear on the front and back, covering joints if present. Bicep cover strips are raised and beveled with an added strip inset into the top of the bevel. Cover strips may be as deep as 1/2" ( 12.7mm) and up to 7/8" (23.5mm) in width, beveled on all four sides. Biceps are painted to match the armor and helmet. OPTIONAL: Level Two: Biceps are two piece design, with the halves held together with hidden flexible cord, and shall remain flexible.

Im back. The last 9 days (ten ?Ive lost count the days are blurring) have been pretty bad. Im hoping it gets back to something near 'normal' for us in the next week or so. ok, back to stabbity stab on this Version 1.1 Biceps — Version Two For basic approval a one piece bicep is permitted.

Im going to take a stabbity stab at this and see if this makes sense: Biceps — Version Two For basic approval a one piece bicep is permitted.

from looking at the pics I could only tell they were based on Mausers but could not tell the actual model be they DL44 or MSP5. Its certainly something we can review.

Ive had a number of real life issues to work my way through and this is my first time coming back into the forum. The unarmored troopers are defintely in the rear (remfs). I printed my bicep for ICAT and a flexible unit would be easier to move in. Here is the current text for Alhani troopers bicep: Biceps — Version Two Bicep cover strips are raised and beveled with an added strip layer on top. Biceps are painted to match the armor and helmet. I have read, and re-read what Jason wrote and honestly Im getting lost in it. So, can someone put this in very simple words that I can understand because honestly Im not 'braining' these days.

I do not know of a printable file. When David Ransay made his for the CRL he used good old fashioned methods we used bfore the days of 3d printing everything. He made it from wood and plastic. There are no dimensions listed, since this was all (inconsistent) comic art and we can only guess, so as a long as it matches the helmet image in the CRL as far as appearance, you should have no issues.

I will revise it and post it later on. Personally, I am going to err on the side of "the GML who is brand new and needs a guide to go by for L1 approval" I believe we can get so hyper dialed in on super specific details that people will not be approved. Ive seen it happen in the past. Im 57 years old, ive done a ton of things in my life, and Ive never heard of "familon cordage". That is so specific it can lead to rejection at the L1 level.

right, that got left off the initial list. I did a bit of research on that earlier. And as always, "in accordance with local laws".

its been about five days so lets look at cleaning this up: Version 1.1 Shoulder Armor Each shoulder bell is a mirror image of the other. The detailing of each shoulder bell is asymmetrical. Shoulders should have a longer flat edge that covers top of bicep with a shorter flat edge that connects to chest armor. Shallow grooves are present in a pattern matching the photo. Shoulders are painted to match the armor and helmet. Shoulders are mounted to the shoulder strap via a bracket and 1" (25.4mm) or 1.25" (40mm) webbing strap. Biceps Bicep cover strips are raised and beveled with an added strip layer on top. Biceps are painted to match the armor and helmet. For basic approval the bicep may be a single piece. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Biceps are a split design and held together by an invisible fastener. We have this much left to go: Gloves Belt Boots E-10.5 Blaster Radio backpack

I wanted to check in before I leave for the weekend. Once I come back on Monday Ill check back in.

set pictures that we see also suffer from the same issue as every other image, every monitor looks different. I can look at pictures on my phone and they look a lot different than on my desktop, but its the same picture. Im workon the new new Pretorean Guard and that red looks different between the two devices.

Moving on to the shoulders and biceps. We did not fully understand how these were constructed when we wrote the Aldhani trooper, now we know . We can modify, and set 1 piece for L1 and 2 part split for L2. Additions and new text in green. Removals in red. Shoulder Armor — Version Two Each shoulder bell is a mirror image of the other. The detailing of each shoulder bell is asymmetrical. Shoulders should have a longer flat edge that covers top of bicep with a shorter flat edge that connects to chest armor. Shallow grooves are present in a pattern matching the photo. Shoulders are painted to match the armor and helmet. Shoulders are mounted to the shoulder strap via a bracket and 1" (25.4mm) or 1.25" (40mm) webbing strap. Optional rank stripes located on the left shoulder may be present. The stripes are painted on. The white stripe is approximately 1" (25mm" wide bordered by a black stripe approximately 5⁄16" (6.5mm) wide. The stripes may be semi gloss to gloss in color. Biceps — Version Two Bicep cover strips are raised and beveled with an added strip layer on top. Biceps are painted to match the armor and helmet. For basic approval the bicep may be a single piece. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): Biceps are a split design and held together by an invisible fastener.

Yes , I believe so. Weve allotted plenty of time for further comment and discussion. Back V 2.2 (Final) Back plate is painted to match the chest armor and helmet.

Left side recess has a rectangle shape greeblie with an angled right side end with five panels. The first left panel has a tube on top that runs up the left side and across the top of the recess. On the right side a heat sink is fitted. A heatsink modeled from a MSI DDR Chipset 38X38mm heatsink is most accurate. Right side recess has a long thin strip with 17 teeth, extending from the left edge to approximately 5/16"-3/8" (10m-14mm) from the right edge. This is located directly below the doulbe row of rectangular vents. Below it is a rectangle shape greeblie consisting of two parts. The left part is flat, the center is three rows of 7 oblong depressions and the right part features a hose connector greeblie. The left side has a raised "vent" in which the far left 1/3 is flat, followed by a thin line recess and 7X3 rows of oblong-shaped indents. The right side has a circular type hose connector There are 5 tapered vents on the lower sides of the backpack. These vents are present on the left and right. Bottom left features a smaller rectangle cut out with the left side stepped. Half circle indent detail beneath the backpack section must be present. There is an oblong greeblie centered below the two large recesses. The greeblie is aproximately 1/8"-3/16" (4.5-5) mm tall and 1 1/4" (30mm) long. There is a small 1/4" (5mm) diameter) raised circular greeblie centered aproximately 7/8" below the oblong greeblie. The bottom of the circular greeblie is in line with the top of the small rectangular cutout on the lower left side of the backpack. There is a raised slot on each shoulder for the straps to fit into. Shoulder straps are black and are affixed to the chest plate at the buckle. Moderate weathering to depict the Rix Road incident is permitted and must match reference images. OPTIONAL Level two certification (if applicable): There is a recessed hole approximately .31" (7.8mm) above the top left corner of the left recessed box. There are two indented squares approximately 1⁄4" x 1⁄4" (5mm x 5mm) aligned vertically above the right upper corner of the left recessed box. There is a stepped ledge at the bottom of the main back box.

Its under discussion with staff at the moment.

Im modding my jim tripon armor I bought off Andy to add the collar, and I agree the seperation is there. Its not blended in seamlessly like its been bondo'd and blended, so we can remove that line. That way should a set be molded that IS seamless it will still qualify, as well as those that appear as a seperate part as with 3d printing. I thought I had added the ledge line in, but it would be fine for an L2. It would be easy enough to add with a thick piece of sign plastic from the hardware store if its missing from a back piece.

I think your spray can is too close when you are making passes. Sand it back some and spray at a further distance. Make sure to fill your pouches with foam or rags so they appear full. No one wants a flat pouch.

They look fine to me as well, the height is correct and I do not see decorative stitching.

It comes down to how close a GML looks at things as well. Some do their due diligence, others just pretty much look at the CRL picture and roll with it. Luck of the draw for your Garrison.

Ok so lets take a look at this as a final proposal. Once we lock this down, we can go back and edit the Aldhani trooper since the features are the same. My only real concern here is approval for those purchasing kits, which are likley not being updated. We dont control vendors and how they treat their molds. I have a Jim Tripon fiberlass kit, and its a far cry from these details. Back V 2.1 (Final) Back plate is painted to match the chest armor and helmet. The back plate, box and collar are seamless.

Thanks Jason Ill make some edits to this. If I printed mine I would grind the back off and put a fan on it. I did that with the Boushh helmet, I dont know if it helped much but my friend Niki is deaf anyway so she never heard the fan. Ill work on the update and put that in a seperate post.
