Oh nice, I guess that is still clearable now?

The wording on the rope and Obi are going to be updated in the next little while along with other changes to the CRL to make things clearer.

The rope part pictured by Venom is correct and approvable.

"other changes". Urg. Any idea when thats happening? I'd hate to find I'm suddenly unclearable :)

Found some rope now anyway, I do like it's look.

thanks all.

The changes that are being made are just for clarification purposes. If you have been following the CRL's you should be good to go, so no worries there :)

Hey

I'm in the final stages of putting everything together now, all my mats are colour matched to the samples I was sent and I'm just figuring out the rope for the belt. I'm planning on 4 (or more?) rows, like this:

Please ignore the colours, the photo's not great. The rope is slightly lighter than the belt, it feels much the same as the photo posted above.

So I just wanted to check, as the crl isn't updated, is this ok?

I'm planning on using fabric glue and some thread to secure it.

thanks

Little trial run of all internal bits for matching. The material 99.9% matches the examples you sent me, the neck seal is ribbed and along with the gloves and belt are made out of the same material. Boots, as stated up above somewhere are Crow62s. Obviously no rope on the belt as yet.

Hi all, didn't update this as much as I planned at the end. Got cleared tonight though!

Long story short then, got my lid painted at a car body shop and everything started falling into place really, despite more than a few "I'm never going to get cleared" moments.

Here's some pics:

So, thank you all for the help I've had during this! See you out there!
