Wow this is great!
I would like to thank you for having so much trust in Thomas and me. We are overwhelmed and very happy about this decision and we will do our best. We would also like to thank all the present DOs for their efforts and Felice for all the time he has put into this, I think we have already learned a lot from him. Thanks also to the whole command staff for making the MEPD one of the coolest detachments. It is great to be part of this awesome and active community and I'm looking forward to seeing many deployment requests. I love to be a sandtrooper,
cheers mates!

In addition to what Dutchy and DarthStevius have already pointed out, is giving your armour some dirty spots with darker colours but not too many, mainly focusing on the nooks and crevases and finally applying some washes of watered down black and earth colours and dabbing almost everything of again almost immediately using a paper towel, repeat this until you are happy with the result. This way you can avoid your armour still having these shiny white spots.

Dude, it will already be difficult to find an original Shires and seedtrays... finding an original Sonix will probably be impossible.

It´s pretty sad that this has happened and I hope that Markus will be deployed or at least reviewed quite quickly, should he consider requesting deployment again as he´s definitely worthy of it.
I get the feeling that we might need some more officers for the command staff to do the reviews, especially in times like these were more and more people request deployment as an MEPD PO.

Ups, sorry... three times the same sh..
Looked like it wasn´t working, page obviously isn´t working properly.

Thank you very much!
Blaster has since been finished, I have added some fuel hose and electric wire and added some dirt by giving it a wash with watered down game colour earth, the only thing which is still missing are the greeblies on top and at the bottom, will probably get some 3D printed ones. Here are some pics of the blaster in its current state.
With the Enfield sling (actually two of them) added:
And because my blasters were just standing in the corner or lying on my shelf and collecting, I had to come up with a better way of presenting them, so I have build this:
Cheers mates

Helmet's a beauty!
-
Man, that's one dirty trooper! Great, I like it
The only room for improvement I can see is the shoulder elastic straps: they look too clean compared to the rest of your armour.
Good luck for your review!

Good job on the weathering! Don't forget to add a pic showing that the lenses of your bucket are green.
Good luck with your review

Nice work Markus, looks really cool

The dirty areas look really good, but the others look a little too clean to me. After applying the "heavy" dirt, I gave my complete bucket a wash with some watered down vallejo earth (game colour) but doing this would probably also wash away the pigments.

Hey Chris and welcome to the MEPD, finally you've made it!
I love the worn look of yout helmet with all those scratches and paint chips, awesome work so far, cheers mate
-
Yeah bro, amazing work as always!
looking forward to building mine... and getting some advice from you!
-
Really cool, was also trying to get a genuine Shires but hasn't worked out so far. Looking forward to seeing your pack come together, way to go!
-
Hi Uli, nice to see you here, we'll surely get you deployed mate!
-
Hey mate, as far as the boots are concerned, I would go for a pair of black leather riding boots, e.g.
or something similar. Rub them off with acetone and spraypaint them with some white leather spraypaint, it´s much more accurate as far as wear and weathering is concerned, as this is the way it was obviously done in the movies.

Thanks and a merry Christmas to you too
-
Looking good mate! Should be a walk in the park, keeping my fingers crossed for you
-
Hey Markus, great pics and great work!
I really admire what you have done for Michael and Jamie, you're really a "bad guy doing good" and it's always lots of fun trooping with you, looking forward to future troopsCheers mate
-
I think those fixes won't be a big problem for you
Yeah, merry Christmas and a jappy new year to you too!

Thanks guys!
No problems at all with customs, was delivered right to my door, same as with the RS rubber foam DLT.
New AM Armor too white ?

I don't know the AM kit but my TM kit was also pretty white when it arrived, although I didn't go for the acrylic capped version and after adding the heavy weathering and dirt spots in specific places I gave it a wash with vallejo model colour earth (actually several layers, always dabbing off most of it almost immediately), but there are many different ways, try what suits you best mate.
