mr_hair Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Okay, so new build, no better time to go Lancer! Here are all the pics I've taken for my clearance, plus a few extra close ups. Marcel, I know you said about watching the bund droop at the back. I'm going to fix elastic suspenders on the bund to make sure it's nice and straight. The pouches are probably a little too close together in these shots too, but they're easily moved. Any feedback would be most welcome...
Chex Posted March 6, 2014 Posted March 6, 2014 Looking good there! I see weathering on the bund and pouch, and on the boots, but I see none on the rest of the armor. That should prolly be evened out with some light weathering in spots like you did on the boots and bund. Your drop boxes are uneven. They should rest squarely on your side, and your right box needs to come up just a tad to match the height up your left. You had already mentioned the bund sag so it sounds like you have that covered. I can also see a little bit of the bund ribbing under your belt in the front as well.
mr_hair Posted March 6, 2014 Author Posted March 6, 2014 Yep, I just finished the build yesterday, hence the clean & shiny armour, so gonna do a bit of weathering next day off. Also noticed the drop boxes after I put the pics up. Will get on it...
Chef Posted March 7, 2014 Posted March 7, 2014 paint your knee rivets white too... All the others stay silver. (and if that's all I can find... that's good going!).
mr_hair Posted March 7, 2014 Author Posted March 7, 2014 Cheers for the feedback lads. I'll post some new pics up soon. Just painted the rivets & straightened the belt up a bit. Time for work now unfortunately... 1
mr_hair Posted March 8, 2014 Author Posted March 8, 2014 Quick update... Did a spot of weathering last night. Also stitched elastic suspenders to the bund. Taking the flak jacket to an alteration place on Monday to have 2" Velcro stitched on as I've only got 1" at the mo. Pics to follow soon, but the missus is away this weekend & I'm not going to start taking selfies in the mirror like some pouting lass getting ready to go to the disco...
mr_hair Posted March 10, 2014 Author Posted March 10, 2014 Just dropped off the flak vest. Picking up Friday morning, so should have final pics up after work Friday. Message end...
mr_hair Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 Okay here we go... Just picked up my flak jacket from the alteration place... Decided to take the lot to work and prance about a bit before I do any actual work. Just because...
mr_hair Posted March 14, 2014 Author Posted March 14, 2014 ...and now, back in my Fortress of Solitude, some weathering close ups...
mr_hair Posted March 15, 2014 Author Posted March 15, 2014 Noticed the top of the pouch sticks out a wee bit on the side, so just put some extra Velcro on the side strap just to keep it neat...
4505Marcel Posted March 16, 2014 Posted March 16, 2014 It looks to me your right drop box is a lot lower than the left?
mr_hair Posted March 16, 2014 Author Posted March 16, 2014 Hmmm yeah I see what you mean. I get home from work in a bit, I'll adjust & post pics...
