working on an MEPD "swat" patch.. basically a black dyed MEPD patch.. looks cool. Also took some photos of my "TDX" will be posted soon. Im using it on my new trading card.
sorry about the leaving and the being gone and all... i lost my job and had to get a new one.. so im back now.. just more busy. Im sorry about the list thing i was putting it together when all this happened. ill get that done and get a parts list available if i can find it again.. otherwise i guess ill have to build another one and do it that way!
the black pauldron is ok but the gray works well too.. i havent tried orange yet.
the black armor almost needs some other color to set it off so you can see detail. otherwise you look like a black blob in photos.
since my links died on the pack photos, i have put the photos on my yahoo photos site.. feel free to browse!

I wore it the first time trooping this last weekend in a parade and around the fairgrounds. Didnt feel a thing.

the large upper left part.. is an art tray for paint and brushes.
the Satelite dish is a kids top game base.
the silver antenna on top is a dish washer air gap

a soap dish used as an antenna on the lower box
a water bottle and bowl
a scratchbuilt keypad made of vinyl bumpers and paint
