hello marines, i just finished upgrading my armour using spats new shouder mounting guide. it makes ALL the difference! trust me.

im posting these pics as to help any of you that are also wanting to upgrade. any additional shots/help needed just ask (if spats busy )

one more thing, i did try it all on and was blown away by how much better it looked but didnt take a pic and now i have my camera but am too sore from getting a tattoo today to put it on. so no pic of me in the "new" armour.....yet.

You're captain speedy you are matey!

Nice work.

SIR YES SIR!!

Nick what did you use to dirty-down your paint finish? A lot of folks used what Terry English used; 'Zebo' grate polish, but like our old friend Brown Bess it's no longer made.

MIG pigment powder. the black one found in the "rust and smoke" set. apply with sponge and seal in with matt spray varnish.

Cool, I'd never heard of MIG pigments before, but I have now!

Fortunately I live about 5 minutes walk from a model shop so I'll pop round when I can and see if they stock them.

Cheers!

Harry

I really like the paint job you've done on your armour Nick; and this is the Spat armour? It looks great! I don't have any armour (except for a helmet which is in storage in England) yet - looks like I'm gonna save up for some Spat armour!! Is their a thread on this board I can go to that'll give me guidance on where to get different parts of the equipment - i.e. Shoulder Light, Pulse Rifle, BDU's (I know MAA is working on a new set of those)...Thanks!

And Nick thanks for posting the photos.

There's lots of info in the Archives section, but as a guide, here's how I got my lot:

PR = G&P/MiM kit + TM M1A1: http://www.medwaypvb.com/pulse1.html
BDUs = 2Pat from MAA
Shoulder Lamp = Matsuo kit (which was built and painted for me, cos I'm useless at that stuff)

That is one superb Pulse Rifle, Steve; thanks very much for the link, and I'll check out the archives in more detail.
Cheers!
