Heya, yeah, i've swapped them out......wont look as good but at least I can see WTF is going on around me!

Hello All, Firstly many thanks for all the messages on this topic, I bought some red lenses from Moncals and added my own mesh & it looked fantastic....from the outside. However after doing my first troop with them this weekend i soon discovered my vision was awful, I removed the mesh at lunch as I was getting a headache which improved things somewhat, but my vision was still terrible. I'm in two minds as to whether to go back to flat, juts so I can see what the h@ll is going on! I lost count of the amount of bumps, trips (not the crews fault) I had, and to me 1/2 the fun of this whole thing is to see the faces of the kids when they see you......nae chance!! Any advice & experience you have on this would again be gratefully received. Cheers Rick,

Hello all, have been trying (with no success) to source the red & black bubble lenses shown below - anybody have any ideas? Many thanks, Rick - TX26067

thanks @tipperaryred much appreciated. one more question if I may? I have looked over many Del Meeko WIP's and I cant see a clear picture of the connection between to chest & back plate at the side. I am going to use a rubber sheet cut to size, but am looking for idea on style and connections. Cheers Rick

@tipperaryred I'm busy getting along with the build, one question i do have is how to attach the 2 scout pouches at the rear? How did you do it? Cheers Rick

Hello Richard, currently building my own Del Meeko (see WIP on this site & my 501st IRL) I would like to ask you about the side fastenings that connect the breast & back plate at the side. What did you use? Many thanks in advance Rick (TK-26067 ISG)

You have to admire the attention to detail. At least I know its all going to fit?

well that is the (extensive) list of measurements sent to Crowprops as per their email for the boots & flight suit, so hopefully everything will fit perfectly!

Hello @Blackwatch as soon as BBB day arrives i'll be posting pictures

Hello there! Thanks for that, apparently this will be a first for the Imperial Scottish Garrison so everyone is eager to see how it goes. Will definitely have some questions when it comes to kitting up, cheers! Rick

New update - due to an excellent tip by my armorer (take a bow Scott) this list has now been revised. Helmet - Pilot Bay Balaclava - Crow Props Flight Suit - Crow Props Compad - Pilot Bay Gloves - Crow Pops Armor - Pilot Bay Tactical vest - A & J Projects Shoulder ammo pouch - A & J Projects Belt - Pilot Bay Over belt - Pilot Bay Scout style patches - Pilot Bay Thermal detonator - Pilot Bay Holster - Pilot Bay Boots - Crow Props https://www.facebook.com/reel/8788957444535268 - link to Pilot bay kit.

For the soft parts I have found a "combo deal" on Crowprops for the following Flightsuit Pauldron Long Boots Gloves Balaclava crowprops.bigcartel.com Inferno Combo (Long Boots, Gloves, Flightsuit and FREE Balaclava) - Long Boots. - Gloves. - Flightsuit. - Free Balaclava - Tailored - Based in the videogame. - Genuine Leather. - Meets CRL specs. Our items were...

This post will run in conjunction with my WIP on my own garrison's (Imperial Scottish Garrison) site. Plan is to buy a helmet ready made (they are always the tricky bit) with the rest made to order, Initial thoughts for a lid was the Denuo Novo - BATTLEFRONT II™ Inferno Squad™ Commander Helmet But after discussions with my armorer the "weathered" red lines on the lid are not compatible with the current CRL. Waiting on pictures from "Radu Plucinsky" but most likely the hard parts (including finished lid) will come from him.
