Hausi Posted August 27, 2018 Share Posted August 27, 2018 Hey David, welcome and thank you for your interest in becoming an MEPD deployed officer! Let´s get your review started: Application Review: Part 1 Name: David Favela Legion ID: TD 79008 Forum Name: MrFlavaFlave Garrison: Star Garrison Helmet a. Green lenses: see comments b. Paint color of traps / tears: check c. Correct number of teeth: check d. Mic tips: check e. Vocoder color: check f. Tube stripes: check g. Rank bar on ears: check h. Brow: check i. Side screws (ears): check j. Weathering: check *additional comments* Please add a pic showing the green lenses. I am sure you have them but I have to see a picture nevertheless. Nice helmet and I like the fact that you´ve kept it screen-accurate without adding the mesh behind the teeth. RESULT ON HELMET pending Armor details a. elastic straps shoulders: check b. neck seal: check c. black undersuit: check d. shoulder bells: check e. biceps: see comments f. forearms: check g. pauldron: check h. chest / back plate: check i. kidney / butt plate: check j. ab plate / side rivets / cod: see comments k. strapping system: check l. thighs: see comments m. shins / calves: check n. sniper plate: check o. boots: check p. gloves: check q. hand plates / guards: see comments r. ammo belt (waist): check s. ammo belt (right knee): check t. canvas belt: check u. pouches: see comments v. weathering: check *additional comments* I will need some close-up / detail pics of the following things: -the six rivets on the left side of ab and back piece -the back of the male snap on the right side of your ab piece -a pic showing that the handguards are made of rubber or latex (just bend or squeeze them) Your left biceps has slipped down and is almost sitting over the shoulder bells, please correct that, I would recommend adding an elastic strap connecting the bell and the biceps, this will keep it put and from twisting. Your thighs are sitting too low, revealing too much black of the undersuit, please shorten the elastic straps to position them a little higher. Another advantage of doing this is giving you more freedom of movement in the knees. The canvas MP40 pouch on your belt is wrong, please change it for one of the following pouches made of leather, furthermore it shouldn´t be positioned at such an angle. RESULT ON ARMOR pending Backpack a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* That is one nice and detailed pack! The exhaustport looks a little strange to me but hard to tell if it had such a curve in the movie or if it was rather straight as on most packs on here. RESULT ON BACKPACK Checked & Cleared Weapon a. details: see comments b. weathering: see comments *additional comments* Both your guns need some dirt or a more worn and used look, they still look factory-fresh. You just need one weapon, should you decide to go with the E-11, I would recommend getting rid of the curly wire going from the Hengstler to the powercylinders (this is just a suggestion though) If you decide to make the DLT your weapon of choice, you´ll have to add the wire holding the T-tracks on the front part too (seems to be missing there) and I will also have to see a picture of the left side of the pistol grip where a small disc greebly should be found. RESULT ON WEAPON pending David, this was your first review! Please add the new pictures and put on your armor once more. Keep up the good work, those changes shouldn´t be too difficult for you. I´m looking forward to seeing some new pics of your improved gear soon. Cheers mate Hausi - MEPD Deployment Officer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlavaFlave Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 All new photos on the requested updates and I have decided to use the E-11 as the blaster of choice. I adjusted the thigh armor and the biceps per your suggestions deployment officer Hausi. This trooper is ready to make some arrest and awaits your command! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigwam Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Please shorten the straps of the backpack: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted September 2, 2018 Share Posted September 2, 2018 Nice work David But I have to agree with my fellow deployment officer bigwam, please shorten the backpack straps,that's an easy one! Just show me a pic of the pack with the shortened strap, no need to suit up again. Please also add a pic of your new leather pouch with some weathering added (way too clean) , easiest to give it a wash with some watered down brown/earth colour and dabbing most of it off again with paper towels, repeat until you are pleased with the amount of dirt. I also suggest doing the same with the shoulder pouch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrFlavaFlave Posted September 2, 2018 Author Share Posted September 2, 2018 I am sorry but I tried and tried to get the backpack photo to show vertically and I could not get it to work. I tried all sorts of things and I hope this works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hausi Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 The pouch looks good But the strap is still too long, isn´t it possible to cut it here?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrFlavaFlave Posted September 3, 2018 Author Share Posted September 3, 2018 Sorry, I was not sure what was meant by shortening the strap. I will get it cut today and upload a new picture. I am sorry to be a pain in this process... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 It's great to see that people are interested in reaching an even higher level in accuracy and we are here to help you and get you deployed so don't worry at all David. I'm sorry if it wasn't completely clear before but now it's looking good. Please show me a pic of the left side too and then we are good to go for the next review. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hausi Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Hi David, time to start the next round of review: Application Review: Part 2 Name: David Favela Legion ID: TD 79008 Forum Name: MrFlavaFlave Garrison: Star Garrison Helmet a.

RESULT ON ARMOR Checked & Cleared Backpack a. details: check b. weathering: check RESULT ON BACKPACK Checked & Cleared Weapon a. details: check b. weathering: check *additional comments* Your E-11 is cleared now, although I would still highly recommend getting rid of those wires connecting the Hengstler counter and the powercylinders, or even encourage you to build yourself a Tunisian Bapty variant of the E-11, that would be even more accurate. Don´t forget to add those wires around the T-tracks on your DLT. RESULT ON WEAPON Checked & Cleared David, this was your second review, thank you for your patience and your willingness to deliver all those pics I asked for, even if it was a struggle to get them to show vertically …and it was worth it, I think your gear looks even better now than it already did before, congrats mate, well-deserved! You have successfully followed the guidelines in regards to the MEPD CRL and have met the requirements, be proud of yourself. Please send the pic you want to use to Luis (Sandman Tigui) and we'll get you squared away. We will have your updated information uploaded into the MEPD system immediately. Congratulations on becoming a Deployed Officer of the MEPD! Now please report to the Mos Eisley Mess hall where you'll serve the troopers until the next newbie gets cleared. Cheers mate!

MrFlavaFlave Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Thank you so much and I am honored to be a part of the Deployed Officer Corps! I will remove the wires from the E-11 and I have added the T-tracks of the DLT-19. Thanks again for the guidance and I appreciate the insight. Time to make some arrest! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
