RACCOON POLICE DEPARTMENT S.T.A.R.S TACTICAL VEST & SHIRT FROM DRAGON.

After been thinking for about 2 months, i finally decided to buy it. Now i can start to kitbash my Biohazard/Resident Evil theme, hehe. This is from Dragon (DML) Biohazard Code: Veronica series. I think it came out in 2001/02.




Why 2 months? Actually the vest & shirt were sold in set with a pair of camouflage pants, belt, holster with Glock, pouch, canteen, Maglight with pouch, boots & throat mic with radio. All that for RM75 (!). The only original part from Chris Redfield are belt, holster with Glock & boots & i only wanted the vest & shirt. Well.. win some lose some. I know HT vest is way better but i don't want to pay a ridiculous price for that on Ebay. So DML is good enough for me.





The vest is nicely done but a bit small. I tried on HT TT body & it look tight. There're 5 pouches but none of 'em can fit any magazine. Maybe they're utilities pouches. But i can always fill any of it with shotgun shells. No big deal at all, hehe.


Here's my work in progress.. S.T.A.R.S officer. This is my own version. So it may not look like from any of the video game series. Still looking for some parts.. black long sleeves t-shirt, holster, drop leg MP5 mag pouch, gas mask bag, knife, knee pads & grenades. Already bought ACE combat boots online.







Stay tuned. :)
