Amazing work ! You did great 👍

capacitors done and everything assembled just need to weather everything, I'm also waiting for the radar dish to show up. Keep in mind this isnt very accurate and built it more for trooping rather than to be movie prop accurate

I replaced the abs back pack horizontal supports with aluminum since the weight was making the seed boxes jiggle and sag. also replaced the black hose i was using for the stinger for a pvc one since I had extra from making the capacitors, i will be using Octoarm's idea of filling the pvc capacitors (1/2inch pvc cut into 5 2inch pieces) with tin foil and then hot glue. Also keep in mind I'm not going for complete movie prop accuracy

Welcome Ashley!

So originally 5 years ago I was working on a kit from spOOL68 here on the forum that consisted of resin parts, I downloaded a T21 template and began building the wooden stock /main body and barrel made of a PVC pipe and a plastic cup, well I never fully finished it and put the kit away, fast forward to now and I noticed how hefty or cumbersome this weapon can be not bad if you want something that feels substantial, but with the advances in 3d printing I figured I'd give it a shot and have a lighter rifle I wouldn't mind trooping with. So I order a kit from a shop on Etsy called Galactic3DEmpire, Gaven does some amazing work and does various weapons from Starwars or any other series you can think of , he shipped my order out quickly since this was the last one he had in stock (if its not in stock you can always request it, but may take a little bit longer) he also does commissions. attached is the previous kit which is awesome if you want something with alittle more weight to it and the last set of photos are the new 3d kit from Gaven place holder for 3D PRINTED KIT PICTURES WORKING ON TAKING SOME

Hi y’all, Ashley TD-10834 of the Carolina Garrison reporting for duty

So I was originally a TK then switched to a TD and was approved at the basic level that was years ago but since I'm in the military I've been out of it for awhile and now that i have my time back I want to get back to trooping but I moved and am no longer in Colorado (Mountain Garrison) and now live in Oklahoma, I've tried contacting both to see about a transfer or reactivation cause my TD profile on the 501st website is no longer listed under members but nobody has gotten back to me.

I think this is the one : 501st MEPD Sandtrooper Social Group 501st MEPD Sandtrooper Social Group | Facebook

Thank you! it was amazing for me too, first time as well. I hope to be in some more in the future Also, cool! I like that picture so much, that Iguana is so cool!

Some more painting of the black parts, also this is a Crashman kit and I'm using a different Braxton box but it hands off the seed tray and don't know if maybe the seed trays are too small or if the Braxton box is off.

Having this issue in 2024 trying to access it through tapatalk

Looks good!!

Alright it's been years and finally with more free time opened up as well as inspiration, I started working on my pack again. I started with repainting the seed trays+bottles, it was mentioned by someone on here that they were too blue and glossy, these are now matte gray and black parts are matte black( need to paint Braxton box still) The gray kinda looks glossy cause the light (weathering will knock it down more)

Yep still waiting for mine too, sent it via message and email.

Just sent a email over with my photo! Thanks!

PM sent thanks!

My apologies for the confusion! Thank you for the approval and patience. I'm so honored to join the ranks, it’s been a dream of mine since childhood.

https://www.501st.com/members/displaymember.php?userID=39857&costumeID=2 I looked for the link to see if your TD had already been accepted. You should have added that at the top. Everything is clear now.

I have been approved by the 501st already, but I’m not sure what you mean. What else or what do I need to do in order to have basic TD approval?

Great Pic, welcome Darren!

Great, as far as I'm concerned there's nothing standing in the way of Level 2. I have to ask again - you don't have basic approval for the Trooper yet? If not, do it quickly and as soon as the TD Basic is approved, I will switch you to level 2. I have to stick to this order. Regards Thomas

Also just realized I didn't include the hero snap so here it is!

Welcome to our new command staff officers.
