Done and done!

The good news is that we would love to the make the standard merch (mostly the shield patch) available more often. Unfortunately we don't have the capacity to buy a bunch and make them year round but we are working to get them up here a few times a year. Stay tuned. Best place to find new merchandise postings is going to be on the merch section of the forum, and sometimes on the Legion boards. We don't post them on any other platforms (which is the legion rule that many detachments don't follow). So just check back at least 2 times a month and you shouldn't miss anything.

I have both! I will try to get a comparison photo up here. Size is pretty comparable. The Trooberbay ones aren't quite as "puffy" as the trooper1 versions. Both are great quality, I just prefer the trooper1 version.

@Fraulein Hard to say really. The wording is pretty vague, leather or "leather-like" is acceptable. It doesn't specify it its "leather like" in looks alone or feel and weight too. I have seen some really convincing foam that looks just like leather (and metal and other material). In my opinion, if it look just like leather and is convincing enough to not tell the difference in person and in photographs, it should pass. Thats just my personal opinion though, the wording of the CRL is up to the interpretation of the GMLs. I think they could work well as an alternate material for hip pouches, not sure it it would be convincing enough for a shoulder pouch but I'm sure someone out there is skilled enough to prove me wrong.

I've seen some amazing things done with craft foam. I would love to see detailed shots of the pouches.

He does E-11s too, his all aluminum E-11 kit is almost ready to go. He just does his stuff in phases. Sometimes is scopes only, sometimes just dl44 sometimes e-11. But he's joined up on the bapty FB page now and has expressed interest in the bapty variant.

Field marshal has expressed interest in making the aluminum parts for a bapty. Hopefully in the next year he can make it, that would be awesome, his work is top notch. The M38s seem to pop up a few at a time. I also recommend looking for the 1942 M40 or 1942 M47, they are identical to the 1942 M38 and are usually cheaper since most are looking for the M38

I have been thinking about carrying around a c3po leg or arm and asking kids if they have seen the rest of the droid anywhere lol.

Advantage is that this makes it more structurally sound too, my first pvc frame fell apart once, that was super fun lol.

It looks like its probably too blue of a color. Truly it should be gray first, with a hint of blue in certain lighting.

Wow, great work. Really impressive

A CRL for this is under development (along with the nearly identical Battlefront 2 Imperial Heavy Trooper) You can find the topics related to this here: http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?/forum/74-special-edition-armor/ Really we are just waiting for someone with ROTJ armor who wants to make this trooper. In the past the MEPD hasn't embraced these troopers, but times change and we would love to include them in our line up, we just need someone who wants to pull the trigger!

Yep! We are in development of the CRL. Hopefully we will be able to complete it soon!

Just need to post 5 times! Join in on a topic somewhere on the forum and you'll get there in no time.

Looks amazing @jimmiroquai thanks for sending those photos. These will help a ton!

Welcome to the sandy side Larissa! If you need any help feel free to reach out. Nice to have more Florida sandies to join the ranks of the Twin Suns Patrol!

Being from the midwest originally, Chicago is a great city. And the area the convention is in has a lot of great stuff and amazing museums. My sister lives there, I visit frequently. Chicago really isn't that dangerous of a city. Sure it has some really bad areas...but I come from St. Louis, murder capital of the US, and most of it....is not murdery lol. Like any city, avoid the bad parts and you're good. lol. But yea, I will miss having it here in Orlando for sure. I could walk to it from where I live lol.

Not a bad idea! Most people post their builds in the armor section of the forum for feedback. I would recommend posting there Command staff can discuss, but I don't know if creating a whole separate section for pre approvals is entirely necessary right now. I will see what the rest of the staff thinks though, thanks for the suggestion!

Congrats! Well done! Now about that drink Jason mentioned......

Field Marshal, who makes replica parts for e-11s said he may look into producing them in the future. I hope so...if not, melt down some soda cans and make your own! lol

Looks like the legion is doing their own boonie hat https://www.501st.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=53&t=99301&sid=8faef460c45bc5628dd918e963b62aef

You need to have 5 posts before you can post in the for sale section. Comment on a few threads and you’ll be good to go

Congrats!!

Approval came in last night! Say hello to TD-11517! Congrats to Aimee she worked super hard on it and did a great job. Now on PO!

Got the Tamiya AS26, tried it out...I think it is too light now....but just the right amount of a cool tint Ugh! Time to find something in-between! I will post pics of my findings shortly!
