Narrative Narrative

This trooper is kitted out in NBC (Nuclear Biological Chemical) gear, ready for defence against the feared use of chemical and biological weapons.

I added a seperate carrying strap to the Hot Toys PLCE Respirator Pouch to allow it to be worn lower than the waist belt. The helmet has custom made 7th Armoured Brigade insignia on both sides and the NBC Jacket and Trousers have green chemical detector paper patches applied at various points. I added elastic to the bottom part of the trouser legs to give a better fit and more accurate look.
