Supporters Druid799 Posted October 25, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 25, 2018 Problem with something like this is odds are the avatar you have to use to plan your ‘new look’ will probably have the physique of a god of war , unlike most Airsofters who have the physique of a casualty of war ! 😳 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters TheFull9 Posted October 25, 2018 Supporters Share Posted October 25, 2018 The only alternative I've used over the years - and this is not quick but it is more effective in the long run - is just looking at a lot of pictures of what other people already use. Sometimes threads on forums have a lot of broken img links when you go back far enough, but there's no shortage of skirmish sites/event organisers that post albums full of pics every week (for example) and it only takes a couple of minutes to scan through 100s of pictures. Anything computer generated, will not (as mentioned) ever look the same in real life. As an example of that, I've seen guys to 100% faithful recreations of BF3/4 loadouts but even with the time I've sunk in to said games, when I see the images it really takes me a minute to even clock the fact they've copied a game, on account of how drasticalyl different it always ends up looking in the real world. I think what matters is stuff like; is your rig comfortable, do your pouches hold everything securely, can you draw stuff from your belt without shit from your upper torso getting in the way, does your face pro prove to be massively inhibitive, will you pass out from heat stroke when it's 30 degrees in that loadout etc etc. Those real issues are countered by buying decent quality stuff, learning yourself and learning from others who have a lot more experience and can effectively pass on that experience. Looks? Well you buy whatever colour/camo you personally like, hunt around for clothing/LBE in that colour if you wish to invest the time. I know I dump a lot of hours in to scouring the net for clothing and kit in specific styles. My concern is always to help people avoiding buy shit that fails them functionally. If you buy something and it functions but doesn't look just the way you like, that's not going to be nearly as big of a deal. Also, crucially, aesthetics will tend to come as a result of function. People who've got their gear figured out always look better than guys clomping about with their laces undone, loose straps flailing everywhere, drop-leg holster too low and swinging in the breeze, helmet/rig/shirt that doesn't fit etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiercel Posted October 26, 2018 Share Posted October 26, 2018 Bought a £25 Chinese plate carrier knock off from eBay. Came with some free mag pouches. Looks good and does everything I need. Gradually added a few extra bits here and there over the years of Airsofting. After having it for about 5 years I'm looking at swapping it for a JPC as I want something more lightweight for CQB and summer games. Though coming up to winter the full plate carrier will be a welcome layer of warmth and protect my flabby bits from stingers in the cold 😛 It's a work in progress, you'll figure out what you need as you play more. And half of those "problems" you came up with wouldn't be solved by looking at some online knock up either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trial and Error can get expensive, software is a good tool but trying it out in a shop would be best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
