Started tinkering with the idea of converting a CVC (Combat Vehicle Crewman) helmet into something sexier a couple weeks ago and with yesterday's arrival of the MS2000 strobe my wee project was complete.....for now anyway. Still plan on replacing the current US flags with some IR flags later on down the road.
-CVC helmet -MICH 4 point harness -MICH NVG mount -MS-2000 strobe -A Crap load of velcro -US flags
  
  hooah. |

What are you putting in it for the head set part. Going to fork down the money for the real thing??

Using Jacko's Peltor TAC-6S headset for now. Will most likely end up buying one for myself as it is quite an awesome bit of kit.
Toss up between those and some Bowman PRRs.

Just curious, only reason I know anything about this is because Savage has been working on this project for a while as well. Hes a pussy though and wont fork out the rest of the money to complete it. |

Wow Hado, that is pretty crazy. Is that you in the photos? Nice setting if you did, I think its you because of that crazy vest and your gun. But very very nice.
Is the background edited in? If so very nice job, that is a very nice setting for you camo and such.

Knife, that photos was shot at my uncle's property during a team practice last week. It's definitely Hado in all that stuff. Rogue, he couldn't afford my fees to carry his ammo. ;D |

What did you use for padding between the helmet and your head Hado? I was planning on going with the BLU kit from Oregon Aero, but the whole project is getting rediculous expensive for me. Peltors Sordins alone are at least $200. You find a good cheap way out? Looks real nice Hado. I'd think that was an actual soldier in the photos if I didn't know it was you. |

Rogue: Warlord holds 16 M4 mags total + 8 pistol magazines if you use every pouch for ammo. I'm carrying 12 in the vest and an additional 2 on the thigh rig. Very glad I don't have to carry real ammo. Savage: Used the harness and padding from a repro MICH helmet I had laying around. Though I'll probably replace those with some Oregon Aero pads (ebay) and an Aites 4 point harness(www.aitesusa.com). Recommend checking ebay for some Peltors too, TAC-6S headsets often go for around $70. Saw a fellow selling Comtacs starting at $89 too. Innards:  |
