First0rder Posted June 13, 2018 Author Share Posted June 13, 2018 So I bought this kit from a Trooper Chris??in the ??PA garrison.?? He built this for himself and is 6??? tall.????He did an absolutely amazing job completing this kit, weathering and receiving approval from his GML ???? ?? Now im the proud owner of this kit and time to review it closely.????You???ll want to double check the CRL ensuring nothing has changed or amended since previous approval?? ?? Here are the prices Chris W spent on each item:?? Armor & Helmet: Laws $830 Pants: USGI $13 Mukluks: $50 Duster: Rob Kittell $237 Pouches: Rob Kittell $58 Belt: Rob Kittell $37 Blaster: HFX B $125 Holster: Unknown $42 Strapping kit: Troopermaster $66 Husky Tote: $59 Evil Boy Fan Kit: $61 TD clips: $20 ?? pictures to share:?? The weathering on the bottom of the duster is just a mix of black and gray acrylic paint and water, applied with a spray bottle ?? 1 CTG??GML / GWL SpecOps -- TX19736 - Magma Trooper (WIP) WhiteArmor??-- TK19736 - TLJ FO Executioner (Basic Approval) BlizzardForce?? -- TS19736 - ESB SnowTrooper (Basic Approval) Link to comment

First0rder Posted June 19, 2018 Author Share Posted June 19, 2018 Hi all. I had??an opportunity to suit up and get initial pictures done so can review fitting and any adjustments required before submitting for GML approval. ??Overall the fitting was great. There are a few straps that I can tighten up but armor placement, backpack location / height were all good. ?? We did discuss on the side and believe the Duster to be a bit too Yellow where the CRL states White/ivory with grey weathering. ?? So this evening plan is to wash the Duster in Cold/ gentle attempting to wash out some of the yellow. ??Will post results once that???s done if all looks good from there, then we???re onto??GML submission?? ?? 1 CTG??GML / GWL SpecOps -- TX19736 - Magma Trooper (WIP) WhiteArmor??-- TK19736 - TLJ FO Executioner (Basic Approval) BlizzardForce?? -- TS19736 - ESB SnowTrooper (Basic Approval) Link to comment
