Upgrading my MKV B suit

[scifibuckets]

Hi there,

This is my suit at the moment I love it but wanting to make it more tactical and worn looking with bags, a side arm, radio and some grenades possibly

I will be upgrading my MKV B suite, this is roughly what I’m going for, but more stuff.

Helmet.
I am going to be getting the paladin helmet modelled as I really love the look of it, but I might also get the top parts made to fit the RIZ helmet as I do love that helmet and then I would have a completely custom helmet.

LMG
I am also going to be getting a custom LMG modelled which am very excited for I used The Halo: Reach concept LMG M73 Light Machine Gun, as a base for this new LMG

I’m wanting it to look like the commando rifle/LMG I already have but bigger, it also have a chain fed from the box mag on the other side, which I am wanting to keep that look.

Accessory’s

The things I’m wanting to add/upgrade is mainly these things, I really like this look with the bag and the radio and some grenades next to it.

I like this look, I don’t want to add too much to the chest l but I am wanting to add some glow sticks hanging off that would look good.

Excited to work with you on modeling your custom LMG!

Not a lot of progress/ any really.. But I have planed some new armour parts into armorsmith to get a rough look.

Is the knife all one part with the sheath? Or does the knife pull out?
If it pulls out there's 2 considerations

1. You don't need some smart alec at a convention seeing if they can snag it from you without you knowing. Some kind of secret retention clip goes a long way here.
2. Check the weapons rules at any convention you go to. If you can pull it, and they think you could stab someone with it even if its printed plastic they might say 'no. put it back in your car' if there's no way to "peace bond" it. (where they put a zip tie in a way to keep you from pulling it)

Might be handy if the entire thing can be easily swapped out. If the con doesn't like that you can pull it, go back down to the car in the parking and swap the 2-part version for a single-piece "looks good in photos, but doesn't pull out" version. Or one with a foam blade for the conventions

Personally, I keep mine up front to avoid the whole "I can't see or control it" thing.

Right okay, yeah .

The cons I go I think I bring it with me, but I will obviously check beforehand .

It was going to be a tight fit to pull out, the plan is to have some bags above the belt and below the back piece, with some grenades and things attached to the outside for some detail to help blend it together, and so I have some more storage, so I might end up changing the position of where it is.

I know it'll be the same for the things on the outside of the bad, making sure they are secure and nobody can grab it easily.

Thanks for the insight

Something just hit me when looking at that knife for a second time...
You're not sitting in any chair with a back. Not sitting in the convention dining stacking chairs... not getting to lean back and rest in the comfy chairs in the lobby. You're upright and stiff the entire day. That gets tiring - and might eliminate some cool photo ops.

 

[scifibuckets]

I mean, yeah.

But I don't see how the knife on the belt will affect me in term of sitting down, it's more the thighs that limit me.
I understand not being able to sit back, but I go to 1 convention a year, so I'm more forced on it looking cool for getting videos,pictures rather than going FULL con-comfy, I still want to be able to sit down obviously, but If I have these bags on my lower back, that should be able to help me sit back and rest a bit more easily.
