And the holster is accurate as well so... :tup:

Thanks my friend :TOH:

Thanks! :TOH:

Well it was an easy job putting it together actually. Most of it is actually just my weathered LC gear which I completed last summer.

The only upgrades to MotB is the sweather, scarf, gloves and the Raiders gunbelt instead of the LC gunbelt. Besides that it's pretty much LC.



Allthough I feel the need to upgrade that 8 year old cardigan.. which I probably will do as I am allready looking for a new one this minute. lol.

Hmm.. should I get the walkie-talkie as well? Mark? :lol:

Very impressive sir! I think you've nailed it. Now all you need is the walkie talkie. That LC Wested always amazes me!

You look the business mate, I'm really rather envious. If you get a new cardigan you'll have to give us a few shots with that on. Well done with that gear though. :clap:

Is it just me, or does the Blues fedora have a slightly tighter pinch than LC or TOD? Every time I've seen a pic, I've always been given a Raiders vibe. Your hat is dead on!
