Wow!! Jeff--that is one good looking, clean build. I really love the way it is coming out. No to mention those ALICE packs--how did you paint them? What colors did you use for the base coat and the highlights? They look stunning!!

Lucas well Tamiya OD Green with straps painted with Tamiya Khaki drab and a Little flat black for Buckles followed by a Black wash of oil paint and to top it off a Dry brushing of Titanium white oil paint sealed with a spray of Dull coat.
First time for me on that stuff I usually just paint them and let it go at that.
As I said learning on this one.
Hard to teach an Old dog new Tricks. LOL
Thanks Lucas.
Are we ready for the Sep Version Lucas ?
With what we learned on this thing.

Well Carbon fiber rod is what they are and went with what Lucas said 2 and 1/2 Inches for rod length.
Smoke Launchers on here will have no cables .
But I might put the Gernades in don't know
Never seen cables on M1's
