  5. - From the Desk of the D.L. - Meet the Command Staff - CRL changes (proposed) Hello to my Dirty Brothers and Sisters, I am hoping to bring this tradition back this year. I love our newsletter as it is where I got my start on the MEPD command staff. If anyone has an idea or topic they would like for us to cover here in future issues, please message me. Also, if you have a submission for the newsletter, we are open to others sharing their work. The MEPD is also in need of a new Merchandising Officer. Our new PRO is Darth Mout. Our former PRO, Quinnzelle, has moved to the newly created Detachment Diversity Officer Position. The Legion has also added 2 additional detachment positions this year, Detachment Archivist and Historian and Detachment Costume Advisor. If you, or anyone you know, would be interested in stepping up and joining the MEPD Command Staff PM me for a discussion. I appreciate everyone trusting me with another year as Detachment Leader and I look forward to a great year. It seems that troops are starting to come back even more this year. We are seeing a gradual improvement each year as we move farther away from 2020. Stay Dirty, Punisha Quinn Brown (SandEEQuiNN) TD-91197 Detachment Diversity Officer Former PRO Hello MEPD, I wanted to take a little time to introduce myself and tell you a little about me. I am a single mom of a wonderful 12-year-old daughter, who is a Sandy in the Galactic Academy. I was born just outside of Philadelphia. I grew up in Pennsylvania and Florida. I now live outside of Richmond, Virginia. I work as a sushi chef. In 2014, I met our DL, Punisha, at a convention and saw how cool the 501st costumes were in person. I first joined as Asajj Ventress, which I hand-sewed. My second costume was the Sandtrooper. I am the local Rebel Legion Base CO and XO of my local Squad. I am happy to be a part of the greatest Detachment in the Legion. Quinn Brown (SandEEQuiNN) I know we started this topic on the forums already, but I felt this would give it more attention and more eyes on the topic. I have revised my original post here to include ideas and additions already shared with me on the CRL updates thread here in these forums. If you have ideas to add to this discussion, go here: https://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/topic/18089-things-id-like-to-change-this-year/ I would like to make a couple of changes to the existing CRL. I am interested in your thoughts. As always, this will not affect those already approved. You are grandfathered in. This would only be for new applicants. Currently, the CRL reads, “For basic approval ribbed shoulder straps are acceptable but discouraged.” I would like to remove the ribbed shoulders option, as only special edition troopers have those and that is a separate CRL in progress. I would like the CRL to read, “TK style ribbed shoulders are not acceptable.” The next change is a similar change in thought. The current CRL reads, “Left side Abdomen Armor has a minimum of three, and maximum of four painted white buttons.” I would like the CRL to read, “Left side Abdomen Armor has three white buttons." (Credit to BadBatch for the edit) BigWam and Airbourne trooper also added these ideas. The first involved the helmet lenses. The current CRL reads that helmet lenses are “flat green or smoke.” The change would read that helmet lenses are “flat green.” Their next idea was to remove the shoulder pouch requirement when not wearing a backpack. The current CRL says “Black in color, made of canvas, leather or leatherlike German MP-40 style ammo pouches.” The change would read, “Black in color, made of canvas German style MP-40 pouch or leather or leather like Stolla Wien ammo pouch. If you do not wear a backpack, you do not need the shoulder pouch.”

A few pictures need to be submitted and a few little things need to be revised. Nothing bad but at level 2 we want to be closer to the film than a level 1 trooper. Here you can check again whether everything has been taken into account and all the images that were needed are there If you are unclear, please feel free to ask. Small comment outside of the request: I would make the return edge - especially on the back parts - a little smaller. They may chafe you when you wear them. Also round off sharp corners a little. Best Regards, Bigwam

  9. I got mine from Intergalactic Supply
  10. Earlier
  11. Thanks Frualein and Tim, much appreciated
  12. I am not familiar with a list of found parts. My pack is from CrookKnight. He is closed and sold all of his pack stuff to Dave' s Darkside Depot. The pack I have is 3D printed. My pack has elastic straps to hold it in place. the straps are hidden by the pauldron and armor mostly and blends with the undercut. As for the weathering, the CRL moderately weathered. I'd interpret the as the weathering should be noticeable but not excessive.
  13. Ok,I will use that reference. My treasures so far:
  14. I measured 14 cm from the edge/cup.
  15. That would be great! Thank you bigwam for your help.
  16. I can measure it for you after work
  17. Hey, Welcome to the MEPD. What a great first troop. The animal adoption troops are in my top three troops. The iguana in my avatar was one one of them.
  18. Ooh that is a tricky one. Are you asking if it is approvable? But yes you can do that. However, IMO I wouldn't sand the seam. I would add a little bondo, and then smooth it out and sand it.
  19. my two cents here (sorry I am late) but I chose to do the "roadblock captain". No they do not have a backpack. In order for me to go SWAT though, I would have to level up to PO, which would require me to build a pack. Which I dont see as necessary because the armor doesn't have it. BUT - I have accepted that as a necessary standard that should be met. If I really wanted to go SWAT, then I would build a pack to make PO. IMO - the iconic Sandtrooper is identifiable by their pauldron. No pauldron is just a regular TK that's dirty.
  20. Where is that page? There is one that y'all put me in charge of, and then made a second one. IIRC - the original group is for all 501st, and the second group was for just those old approved as TD. I don't recall what happened with that second group. This is the original one that y'all put me in charge of https://www.facebook.com/groups/1482152515420346 But no-one really ever posted in it. It was usually just me making announcements. I just stopped posting because there was zero activity or any interaction with what I was posting.
  21. @Punisha Dang - just now seeing this. His armor IO is the best. I dont have access to the FISD - is the run still going?
  22. Hey @swirlie, I dont have the answers but I'll tag @Punisha. He is one of the armorers for MEPD an might be able to point you someone who has completed the Jedha trooper.
  23. Thank you! That’s what I wanted to know And how much cm/mm comes out from under the mushroom cap? Sorry about the questions but I’m aiming to make it as correct as possible. The parts I have gathered so far: Gio bottle,Tupperware radar dish,Brexton box. Slowly getting there
  24. Just awaiting some prestuds for the shoulder and some new gloves with rubber armour details on the back of the glove
  25. Painted details Green lenses Cod piece side rivets chest bolts side side arms up back side front action Lid off New side pouch Pack pouch
