HighBrow Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 (edited) Hey everyone, I'm a new member to the MEPD and I just wanted some feedback on my TD armor. It's not finished as I still need to put on the knee plate, a second layer of weathering, and finishing up the pack. So please let loose and tell me what looks good but more importantly, tell me what I need to fix so that it meets PO level. Thanks, Matt Edited August 20, 2017 by HighBrow Needed to insert image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoveMonkey Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Hi Matt, I'd be glad to help. Do you have any pictures I can look over? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put one up, hope it's good. I have more but it's not letting upload more, anyway to fix that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthStevius Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Hey Matt, Firstly, welcome to the forum. How did you load your first photo up? The best (most user-friendly and generally accepted) way is to use a photo-hosting site like imgur or flikr, and paste the URL of each photo directly into your post. That way each photo appears automatically once you submit/confirm your post. Those sites are designed specifically to enable you to do that If you need any more guidance on the process I'm happy to help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Worry about getting your basic approval and then post up more pictures so we can guide you for PO status. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an Imgur account but it's not letting me upload a file size more than 0.04MB. Any way I can make the photo file smaller? and for some reason the Imgur link to the rest of my pics are not being accepted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthStevius Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 So are your pictures on imgur and you're struggling to bring them over here? It shouldn't make any difference what size the picture is once it's on imgur. You just need to copy the "link address" for a specific photo, and paste it in to your post. On Imgur, try and right click (assuming you're using a PC not a MAC) on the image, and select "Copy link address", or "Copy Image address", then come back here and paste it in to your reply box, the image should appear. I don't use imgur, so maybe someone that does can chime in too if the above doesn't work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airborne Trooper Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 I use imgur on my computer and iPhone. I use the iPhone app to upload pictures just fine. Worse case, email them to yourself if they are on your phone and do it through a PC/Mac. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Hey, looking good already! How does it feel being a proper Sandtrooper? The one thing I see room for improvement is the thighs: try to pull them up by shortening the elastics so they are closer to the codpiece and I would also recommend trimming them a little more if still possible, as they seem too wide around the knees especially the right one with the small ammobelt, their shape should follow the natural shape of your leg.

Way to go mate That was one of the problems I kept having. I need to buy new eleastic and shorten them up. I need to lose around 20 lbs to fit in it the way I want so that is the goal right now. Oh and it feels great to be a TD, move along, move along haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
