Can you perhaps explain what MEPD Liasion (ML) and Intelligence Officer: is?

Thanks for the tips

My current exhaust is one of these ones printed by a friend of mine... While it's not terrible, I have seen pics of other people's packs that look much better. The pipe section is a bit chunkier and also curved rather than straight... Does anyone have 3d files for this? Failing that, does anyone sell them? Thanks as always for you assistance

Hi, I've now got my pack "finished" and approved but I'm not happy with it. My self-built frame is both heavy and not totally accurate so I've decided to replace a bunch of pieces. First up is my new frame. I bought a Tote-em frame on Ebay and now I think I need to alter it a bit... http://www.walkersontheweb.se/wp-content/shared/mepd/pack-frame.jpg I have a few questions: 1. If I have read other threads right, I need to first chop off the top part of the frame. Am I right in thinking that I cut it about 1 inch above the middle bar? 2. After cutting, what then becomes the top bar stays on but the lower one is removed and I then add flat pieces for mounting the seed trays to, right? Thanks for any assistance

Great, thanks

PS Sorry about the crappy photos but the attachment restrictions here are pretty tough

Hi folks, I'm almost finished with my backpack now but I'd appreciate some input on my radar dish. Most seem to have just a flat plate behind the Tupperware lid but the guy who supplied mine gave me this rather funky looking thing... (Yes, I know the tube caps are missing bu I want everything "approved" before I glue anything together ) I guess it is based on this screenshot that I got from my GML... So, the simple question is, is mine approvable as is? And will it work for Police Officer? I'm not going for SWAT. Thx

Great, thank you.

So phone cable rather than the half-moon shape and paint it black. is that right? Thx for the replies

Also still looking for an official guide to if the stock and pistol grip should be wood effect or plain black. I've seen several who have painted the fins just before the main barrel in gold. Any comments on that?

Here is the image. Can anyone comment on the accuracy of the part?

Is the T-21 supposed to be painted all black or should there be other colours? If so, where and what? I’ve seen lots of variants but no clear guide. The one on the crllooks all black with wooden stock and grip. Also, the crl says ”Sight shall be present on top where ribbing meets base” but no info on what it should look like... Thx

Great, then it's just crappy lighting One less thing to worry about. I'll get to the other stuff over the next week and post updates here. Thanks for the help so far.

Thanks. All in all, nothing I was not expecting but l do have a few comments/questions: 1. The grey colour: I used RAL 7031 which is what I was told was correct. Do you have a better colour suggestion? It's such an easy thing to fix so I don't mind doing it If that's the right code then it's probably just bad lightning like you said. 2. Can you just spray over the paint with the satin matte clearcoat? 3. Already got leather etc for the radio surround, just waiting for the wife to get her sewing machine out. I've got the socket parts too but they need the surround first. 4. I've actually made it in metal tubing cos I couldn't find any decent corner parts in plastic. I'll look into what I can do to make them stand out less. Thanks for the feedback, you haven't put me down at all It's only the joint parts that might be hard...

Hi folks, I've almost finished making my pack. I need to add the mortar tube and the tube on the other side but, before I start permanently attaching things, I'd love to get some feedback from all of you. I'm not going for SWAT but would like to get Police Officer. Is there anything I would need to change?

Perfect, thanks

Now approved as a TD. https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=6022&costumeID=2 Can I please get a new rank?

He’s not a sandie builder so he has no clue. It’s a typical, ” he said that his neighbour’s friend’s dog’s uncle said,...”

Has anyone ever seen this radio before! A friend has it and says he was told that it was used for TD packs but I can’t see anything like it in the crl. Any ideas? Thx!

Hi, Does anyone have any suggestions on where to get good quality parts for the backpack? I've managed to source a few originals and also some nice printed parts but some didn't come out so well The pieces I am missing are those inside the green line in this pic. I might have a line on a Sonix kit but any more options are welcome. Thx AW

Thanks
