  1. Please provide your TD# so I can lookup your profile on 501st member search
  2. Perfect! I think we will combine all videos towards end of the year.
  3. Originally end of April but we haven't had any submissions yet so this will probably go for a while so we can build up enough clips
  4. I have been terrible about updating my own troop log. I’m getting back into it now though.
  5. What is your TD # so I can grant your rights on the forum, please.
  6. I believe mine have balsa wood or some other filling light weight wood painted black. The little pouch has foam in it.
  7. Many garrisons have a stylized format they follow as well as a registered number for each card. We are in discussions of doing a MEPD template that will need Legion approval etc.
  8. Please add your photo and troop info on the Trooper Incentive thread! Looks like you had a good time!
  9. I'm going to show my age here but I was introduced to SW's in the 90s when it was re-released in theaters. Ever since seeing ANH for the first time, I have always loved the sandtrooper. It took me quite a while to finally join but in 2015 I made my initial purchase and was added to the 501st in December 2015. A few years later, I was asked to join the command staff and I've been involved ever since. I have added a Jawa to my costume inventory because even though my sandtrooper is my absolute favorite and passion, I can't wear it at all day troops anymore and sometimes its simply easier to be more mobile as I am too short and not in shape enough to sit down etc. in armor. A couple years ago I was reached out to by a recruit in my garrison. I have helped him every step of the way and continue to motivate him to submit his PO application and he's nearly there. Life sometimes gets in the way. I'm hoping this 2023 term brings life back into MEPD. We're all very motivated and have some great things in the pipeline. I am also hoping to get people motivated by running the Trooper Incentive Program. Get sandies to share their troops and post their troop logs.
  10. 2 hours to get all the clubs and detachments done…. What could go wrong lol.
  11. My first troop of 2023, Hannaford Kidz Expo in Albany, NY on March 4th.
  12. March 1, 2023 starts the beginning of a new detachment trooping initiative for MEPD. HUGE thank you to our brothers and sisters over at Krayt Clan for allowing us to share their incentive program idea. 3 TROOPS are needed to qualify for the reward. Even if you only have one troop, please post to support your detachment. if we don't hit 501 total troops combined, there are no special consolation prizes. Get out there and troop and represent MEPD to earn a cool incentive! If we reach the 501 troop count we will create an exclusive patch----- any one who posts over 3 troops will be allowed to purchase! Anyone who posts 25+ troops will receive one patch free, plus be allowed to purchase more. Rules for 2023: 1. ***CLICK HERE TO ENTER YOUR TROOPS INTO THE TRACKER! THIS LINE IS A LINK!*** 2. You MUST have a picture of you at the troop in a approved MEPD Costume (just take a selfie if there are no photographers) A direct link to a web hosting site is ok--. a click and the picture must appear. Please do NOT directly upload your photo to the forum! 2. You MUST post the picture and troop name to this thread (no cross referencing to other threads) so that the data entered in the spreadsheet can be validated. Please continue to update your Tour of Duty threads, though. 3. You MUST be an Active MEPD Member and list your TD#. 4. You MUST have an account on the MEPD forums or your troops will not be credited. 5. You MUST enter your own troops! 6. You MUST enter your troops by no later than January 15, 2024 for them to count! 7. Virtual troops count! Just post a screen shot as your photo! 8. Children with Galactic Academy CDZ numbers will NOT count towards our numbers and will NOT be eligible for the incentive rewards due to 501st merchandise rules. Below is a link to the spreadsheet the Google Form feeds into so that we all can keep track of how many more troops we all need together! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15m95XAXxKqs7H_IOYQ5tyMmUnKVJVe3PfG1mfIJr7cI/edit?usp=sharing IF YOU DO NOT ENTER YOUR TROOPS INTO THE TRACKER, THEY WILL NOT COUNT! While we definitely want troopers filling out their Tour of Duty threads, you still need to fill out the form and post your troops in this thread for it to count! It isn't fair to those who follow the rules and post their troops correctly. You must fill out the form and post in this thread as thoroughly explained. If you need to make corrections in your data, please PM me here. Please don't request access to the spreadsheet for editing, as it will not be granted.
  13. Will that give you the ability to sell your MTK armor straight to your website since it'll be legion only? Excuse me if I'm behind on all the rules and regulation legion wise. I usually keep out of that level of drama.
  14. MEPD and FISD both have a great vast of knowledge build up over the last 10+ years. I am trying things out to get people to post more and start or update their Tour of Duty logs. The real issue that is affecting all detachments is people using social media/discord, etc. now as a daily "chat" and leaving forums for official things or reference like you said. Instead of rejecting social media, it should be used a tool to promote our detachment and also get people to check in on the forum. Our forum is the official platform for many things, most importantly during elections and merch runs. The forums will never go away. Tim has got a great crew this term and we're motivated. We've got some great things coming down the pipeline.
  15. MEPD is asking our sandtroopers to report in! No matter where in the galaxy you may be stationed, we want you to be recognized! From now until the end of April, take a short video clip of you in your Sandtrooper armor saying, "TD-yournumer, checking in from yourgarrisonname Garrison". These clips will be compiled together to create 1 video to be shared on our official social media platforms and here at MEPD. Please upload your clips and share the links so they can be saved.
  16. The antenna is not in that link. I just need that so my wife’s cousin can resin print me it.
  17. You wouldn't happen to have the STL for the feet and the antenna would you?
  18. Typical Germans, always looking awesome! Congratulations and welcome to the ranks. Donuts are on the new guy!
  19. Love mine too. Will have to take some new pictures when it's pool season
