pandatrooper Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Hey guys, I just received word that I got my TD approval this morning! Still need to get my profile pic updated, but my TD designation is here on the 501st website. http://www.501stlegion.org/members/displaymemberdetails.php?userID=11300 That being said, here’s my application for MEPD Deployed status! I know there may be a question about the pouches (number and placement, and not having a shoulder pouch). My intention was to replicate the “Stop that Ship!” trooper, and he doesn’t have a shoulder pouch. I started a query thread about that a while back, http://forum.mepd.net/index.php?showtopic=6543 but I think GreatScot / Zac stated that “I think that if you were to submit a good looking TD without a shoulder pouch, it's up to my discretion”, so I leave the approval up to you guys. I have a Spanish pouch on order, which would make 3 pouches (I could move the triple mag pouch to the shoulder and re-take the pictures). Let me know what you guys think. Thanks! Name: Terry Chui 501st TD number: TD-2886 MEPD forum Name: Pandatrooper Garrison: Outer Rim Squad / Badlands Garrison Armor: ATA TD version (sniper knee plate, no ab button plate, 3 vertical ab buttons, no armor shoulder straps) Inner shoulder straps: white elastic Helmet lens: green welders visor Helmet details: hand painted Mic tips: “Keith” Hovi mic tips Neckseal: custom sewn Belt: custom sewn MP40 pouches: Modified with screen accurate flaps and snaps Boots: TK boots Undersuit: Under Armor Pauldron: custom sewn Backpack: custom frame, Crashmann seed trays and small parts, Radio Shack tool box, Gordonator cistern, customized radio faceplate w/ Crashmann knobs, Tupperware radar dish T-21 Blaster: scratch built.

iconoclasta_88 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 WOW!! Thats an amazing TD you've got there! Congrats Terry! I don't see why you shouldn't be deployed even without that Shoulder pouch... I mean, you represent TD in all its glory!! Great Job Bro... Of course, Zac has the final word on this! Saludos!

Plastic Fury Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Lookin' good man, as usual. When I saw the screen name, I knew it would be a sharp looking TD. Don't think you are going to have much trouble, good work!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A+ from here bro I remember you have post you was not so tall.

Daetrin Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Dunno. Looks kinda off. You know I should review this in person. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caomhanach Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 I don't see why you shouldn't be deployed even without that Shoulder pouch... CRL doesn't state they HAVE to be on the shoulder, only OR, and has he has them on opposite hips per the CRL he is good to go I would guess... Awesome job there Terry!!!!

pandatrooper Posted October 19, 2010 Author Share Posted October 19, 2010 Thanks guys! Glad everyone likes it so far! It’s been really fun to work on. Still a few small details I want to fix, but it’s 98% there. Rolf: I’m 5 foot 8” tall, maybe still a hair short for a Stormtrooper. I think trimming the right areas (shorten the torso slightly by cutting the cod and removing an inch, trimming the thigh tops, etc.) really improves the look and it fits me better! Paul, you can have a close inspection at ECCC! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartermaster Posted October 19, 2010 Share Posted October 19, 2010 SWEET setup Terry! Really amazing job, but of course it would be. We all know you've got mad skills bro. I love the way the thigh armor meets the butt/cod. Seamless with only minor gap. You really nailed it with all the attention to detail. That pack is looking a bit to clean though so go outside and rub it on the ground a bit! LOL Congrats from here Terry! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul, you can have a close inspection at ECCC! Fits you like a glove bro. And you have a good slim movie accurate build, so the parts fit you nice as well,so you might look even taller too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
