  1. I need access, please. Thanks! TD-0837
  2. I agree about the thing with some peoples preoccupation with getting as many designations as possible. That's great if you have the quality costume for the designation but don't half way do it then want the same that other people worked very hard for. I agree it is for fun after all. But sometimes we do need to realize the 501st has a much higher public profile than in years past. We have our quality standards that brought us up to this point. Working closely with and requested by some of the biggest entertainment names in the business. We can't just rest on the laurels of past success. It was my choice to go MEPD TD right out of the gate. Which delayed me getting my application in for 501st membership by several months. For me the TD issue has many factors. My dedication to the costume, love for the OT ANH, dislike for the costume inconsistencies of SE ANH (generation gap showing), and being left out of certain events for being a Sandtrooper. Perhaps its a combination of these factors that drive me to stand up and demand a little more respect and tighter standards for the costume type many of us here choose. After all it is a relatively easy mod being requested on the Legion board. But anyway, it appears by the poll that the time for "dirt" may have arrived. No I'm not running for any offices in the upcoming election. I just realized I sounded like a candidate speaking about a platform of reform or something. Hey Guns I like the t-shirt......got any in TKBIG size?
  3. Thanks Bro! Dirty troopers gotta stick together! When talking TD, it feel sometimes like Rodney Dangerfield....you know, "I don't get no respect!". I would love to see the Charter reflect more stringent guidelines to the TD definition. But, I will be satisfied to see dirty armor become one of the required components. This will be in keeping the MEPD the elite core of Sandtroopers. Did you realize we currently have 250 members listed with as Sandtrooper? Later, Stacey TKB.I.G.
  4. Well....serious discussion is going on right now on the main Legion board. Under costuming there is a poll for TD requirements: http://www.501stforums.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=1810 While I would like to see all the requirements added to the Charter definition of a TD. I am specifically pushing the current standard with dirty armor added. I know, I know....there were different levels of dirt on the armor seen in ANH OT and the SE. But weathering is part of the costume same as a Boba. I hate going to a canon event and seeing a ton of pauldron wearing clean TK's calling themselves a TD. Then to hear the excuse..."I paid a lot of money for my armor and I don't want to weather it" or the "I want to have two costume designations but don't want to weather my armor because I can't attend a clean TK only event". Really.....I'm banned from attending certain LFL functions because I'm a straight out TD....MEPD level TD accurate at that. It is for fun I agree but why the double standard? I get kicked from certain events but "clean glow boys" get to wear a pauldron and call themselves a TD AND still go to events I'm not allowed to go to. Where is the fun in that!!? If the TD is a costume to itself then the Charter needs to reflect that and not make the TD a substandard costume under a TK! I worked too hard and too long on my armor to see the TD taken so litely when it is a visual seperate costume Canon to the movies. I would also like to see more TDs at Canon events. We are after all the connecting bridge from the EpIII clones to the ANH clean white troopers. Even the action figures "Evolution Set" shows that! Whew!!!! Sorry had to get that off my chest! *rant over*
  5. The Replica Prop Forum (RPF) is a good place to find info. You can apply for membership starting in December. I know there were several Snowtrooper threads there in the past. Search the archives for the topics.
  6. A little sculpy clay and little paint and waaaaayy too much time on my hands! I shall call him "Mini me"....... BK B.I.G. is deployed to the alien habitat of Burger King drive thru's. "you'll never find a more wretched hive of scum and villiany...."
  7. Hey guy's, I'm TD-0837, AKA TK B.I.G. Finally finished up my hand sculpted Sandy armor and acoutrements and have been trooping with the CarolinaGarrison. Ready to apply for MEPD membership (already sent TD-0013 pic's). Here is a pic and my photo link (look under Sandy file: http://photos.yahoo.com/starkids1990) Sorry, Dang it!!!! Having some trouble uploading pic's.
  8. Thanks guy's!!! Just a quick post. Finished my Lewis 21 and backpack. Now I'm waiting for my "real" Mp38-Mp40 pouches from a guy in Norway, I won off ebay for $5.50 for a pair!!!!!!!! Should be getting them this week. Then I'll be as MEPD as I can get this suit. Going on my FIRST troop Jan 29th. The Carolina Garrison is doing a fund raiser for Katie Johnson in Raleigh NC.

  9. Thanks for the comments guy's!!! Just got my confirmation email from my GML....I'm in the Carolina Garrison!!!! Just waiting for my official notification from the 501st legion. I have the backpack and BFG done soon!!! Later, Starkids1990
  10. Hello, I've been lurking about for a long while now and as of tonight I finally have finished my Sandtrooper armor!!!! I custom sculpted this out of water based clay, casted it in POP, Molded in POP and after building my own vac table with a 5hp shopvac, pulled it in .100 hips plastic. I wanted to do Sandy first because....they are the bada$$es of the Empire!!!!! I'll be applying soon to the 501st and once I get my backpack and BFG done (scratch built as well) I'll be ready to join the MEPD!!!! Hope to see you guy's soon!!! Starkids1990[/img]
