Little Boots

So I found this shot from a rare deleted scene on looksirdroids.com I think. I was doing a ton of research on the Cantina Sergeant trying to find anything more than above waist screen shots. Ignoring the arrow pointed at the pack, this shot finally shows the Cantina Sergeant's belt and thigh armor! After this find, I would now argue that he has a small spanish pouch on the left side of the belt instead of the larger MP 40 pouch that was assumed to be there. Interested in your thoughts on this find.

Slowly moving forward as we prepare to move into our new house. Doing TONS of research looking for anything regarding the cantina sergeant. Unfortunately, the search is limited to very few shadowy screen shots only showing the top of the belt and even fewer set photos. However, not all was in vain as I stumbled across a very dark obscure screen shot from a deleted scene of the troops stepping into the cantina. I found this on looksirdroids.com I believe during a search for details on Davin Felth. Ignore the arrow pointing at the backpack. Finally! A shot of the cantina sergeant showing his belt. While its poor quality, I would argue now that he has a small pouch on the left side of the belt instead of the larger mp 40 pouch in the CRLs. Interested in any of your thoughts on this too. I am saving up to get the leather pouches but since this discovery, should I just get the one leather pouch and a small pouch, or both?

Thanks everyone! I am still interested in SWAT later down the road and may shoot for Police Officer sometime this summer after our baby boy arrives! In the meantime, My first troop as an official TD of MEPD was non-other than escorting Brian Muir! I got a great response from those expecting my clean TK and instead showing up all nice and dirty. LOL Everyone I spoke to had nothing but great things to say about the kit, including Brian and Lindsay Muir, who also pointed out that my kit was a TE2 and that they haven't seen one in a while! It was by far one of the best experiences I've had in armor!

YAY. Submitted photos last week and got approved the day before All-Con (March 16th)! Thanks guys for the support! Happy to finally be apart of the glorious MEPD!

Finally finished the weathering!

Got the helmet converted and weathered! I've also taken the ribbed shoulder straps off and sanded the glue off the chest plate, removed the ab dots from the ab plate and got the three replacement dots cut out and sanded. Got the holster and drop boxes off the belt, and finally removed the sniper knee plate from the shin! Just gotta glue the dots, add that TD sniper knee plate, and make some canvas shoulder straps then the rest of the armor will be ready to weather! Should have the conversion completed in time for All-Con!

It's time to begin my journey toward becoming a sandy. I'm excited to begin gathering everything needed to make the conversion! I'm shooting for The Cantina Sergeant and would like to apply for S.W.A.T. later on. So far I have most of what I need except for a new helmet, new belt canvas without the holster attached, and canvas straps for the shoulders. I've got the TD knee plate, and need to remove the ab buttons and drop boxes, after that it's on to weathering the armor! I began weathering the backpack last weekend. Here's some pics I took a while back before I weathered the pack. I wanted to see how it all came together before I decided to take the plunge. I like the way everything fits but would also like some input from you guys. A little background on the armor: -Helmet is T/MC (I will be getting a new T/MC helmet to use for the TD bucket) -Hard Armor is TE2 -Rubber Hand guards from Trooperbay -Hyperfirm DLT-19 -Pauldron from Trooperbay -Boots are painted jodhpur riding boots -Pouches are MP40 Wehrmacht replicas -Backpack built using parts from Trooperbay, Gordonator's cistern and custom built parts/frame.
