I would fit a new ear with a smaller gap. The gap is too large. If it were smaller, it might be possible to cover it with weathering, but not like this. Take a look at members' helmets and also at film footage. The gap is too large.

I have a member building a Sandtrooper. Had a question about an abs pull on the helmet. Right under that ear it’s kind of a bad area. Do you think the Sandy weathering would kind of conceal that or what would you do? If it has to be smooth might I suggest she sand it flat then patch it with abs underneath and then add abs paste? Then sand and smooth?

Hello, enclosed I´m sending the photos of the inside of my helmet...

Hey all! I'm Tony, "long-time listener first time caller" for MEPD. I was able to snag a sandy from someone selling it on the main legion forums, and it arrives later today! I am pretty sure I'm going to have to do some modifications. I'm expecting the shins, belt and neck seal will have to be replaced, but from my understanding the rest should be able to fit my body with strapping adjustments. It came with almost everything, and pics will be posted soon. I got the armor, helmet, 2 ammo pouches, sergeant pauldron, boots, neck seal. Only major thing I'm missing is the undersuit. I am considering making the backpack. I spoke to another sandy in my garrison who has one but doesn't wear it because it's very heavy, so I'm a little worried about that. I also plan to make an E-11 and macros. Considering making a repeating rifle, currently debating between dlt-19 and RT-97c. If anyone has stl files for the latter, please shoot them my way. In all honesty, this is my first full set of armor. I wasn't expecting to dive in just yet but the price was right so I jumped. I was also looking for tips on maintenance. Currently after an armor troop (tie pilot) I wipe down my armor and that's about it. Haven't had it crack or anything which seams far more prevalent on TK's/TD's etc. I was hoping you all could give me some insight on what pieces generally are more fragile. I know it varies from kit to kit and unfortunately, I don't know the original maker of the one I got.

Hi there, Aymeric Jan TKID 20818 501st profil link https://www.501stfrenchgarrison.com/forum/user-2802.html Requesting 501st access. Thanks !

Hey there bro! How are you... Sorry I was not able to post earlier... I have been tying to find my professional shot photos from a few years ago, but somehow I just lost the files. Anyway, I dug this old thread where I originally posted them. Hope they work for what you need. Some of them were intentionally taken for recruitment material, so I guess they could work. Let me know what you think. Saludos.

Hello, is possible to make on your helmet some "batlle damages" or "batlle scars" (for example a crack over one of the eye)? Thanks

Done! 👍

Thanks @bigwam 🙂

@bigwam?

How do I update my profile from member to police officer? Or sandtrooper?

Good morning/afternoon/evening Troopers, I am Rudi Richardson (aka Tarok) working with Omar Al-Bahiti (aka OAB1) this year as the LMO team representatives for the Mos Eisley Police Department Detachment. What is an LMO? The Legion Membership Officer (LMO) and the rest of the LMO Team are responsible for reviewing and processing applications for membership, and maintaining and updating member information in the Legion database. The Legion Membership Officers drive costume policies, including acceptable costume types for membership and setting standards for costume submissions. They are also the final arbiter of member costume issues and approvals. The Legion Membership Officers supervise and advise Detachments, Garrison Membership Liaisons, and Garrison Web Liaisons on any questions or issues they may have with members' costumes. If you have a question about membership, these are who to talk to! The LMO team can also be contacted with the information on the Legion staff page here: Legion Officers however Omar and I are the ones who would be most likely to help answer questions concerning the types of costumes seen in this detachment. About Me: I’ve been a member of the 501st Legion since 2017 and have served as Knightfall Garrison’s Executive Officer since 2023. Prior the that I held a "cadet mentor" role within the Garrison, and have been a FISD Attache for several years. While I don’t currently have a costume that falls under the detachment’s umbrella, two of my closest friends do, and I have a strong appreciation for the gritty, lived-in aesthetic that MEPD is all about. Weathered costumes have a special place in my heart, and I was actually the first "Scout Trooper: The Mandalorian" approved in Australia - so I definitely have a soft spot for troopers who look like they’ve been through the wringer. Outside the Legion, I work as a Business Analysis Manager, where I lead geographically spread teams and worked to maintain high standards across IT and Business Transformation programs, which ties in well with the collaborative and detail-oriented nature of Legion work. Thinking of starting a NTTL (New to the Legion) Costume? Please message the Detachment Leader + CRL Team and me here, as well as send a link to your build thread. I love researching new costumes and helping. Worried a costume may or may not be eligible for the Legion approval? https://databank.501st.com/databank/Costuming:CRLGuide See Character Approval and New to the Legion Costumes (NTTL) sections for details. For “New to the Legion” costumes please have a look here: Costuming Standards Have a question? Do not hesitate to message me. Get your references together and sent to: LMO (at) 501st (dot) com. We're here to support you however we can. Looking forward to working with you all and seeing more of the amazing builds coming out of the detachment! For the Empire! Rudi TK/TB/ID-27777
