Just ordered my cards. Thanks again, Angela!!

Hey everyone, this is just for fun: I can still remember seeing this picture and I always loved it, although the Tusken Raider as a character was never that appealing to me, but when a friend of mine who is also a member of the MEPD and our little Rancor Hunters Squad, Markus Zeitvogel, started making his own kits, I wanted to try it... and man do I appreciate this character now. Building the helmet was so much fun. I am not going to do the full costume but now I have a helmet should I ever want to do the Sandtrooper in Tusken Raider disguise. I have actually tried to build this helmet emulating the Hero Tusken portrayed by stunt coordinator Peter Diamond. Here´s a pic of most parts of the kit: Here´s a screengrab: And here´s my finished helmet: And here ist the Sandtrooper in disguise (I should have added some kind of robes too but I could still do that): Cheers mates

Hello Alex, As I already mentioned: - fix the right shoulder bell - Abdomen higher - Belt higher and fix it - Tighter at the bottom of the thighs - shorten the Mortar Tube - for a better look, change the shoulder Pouch against a canvas pouch and the left Pouch of the Hip against an accurate one. Regards, Thomas

Hi Alex and welcome to the dirty side. I really like your weathering, looks great. At a first glance I would recommend shortening the inside strapping from the chest to the abdomen, the abdomen should sit a little higher up inside the chest. I think your armor suits you well but the thighs should be more tapered towards the knee to follow the natural shape of your leg. Cheers mate and have fun browsing the MEPD forum, heaps of great info to be found here.

@Gklair08 done, welcome! @Ju Stonewall done, welcome

Hi Julien, welcome to the sandpit, good to have you here. Don't worry about your English, it's great. Many of us here actually come from different countries, English not being our mother tongue. You will find heaps of valuable info in the different threads here, so take your time to browse the forums and have fun. The Sandtrooper also wasn't my first costume but I knew from the beginning that I wanted to be a Sandtrooper once. Cheers mate!

Hey! Great to see more that a couple replies in a thread! As stated by everybody, lets hope that the wheels keep turning and we can find a way and a moment for the MEPD, the forums and the members to come back with excitement, participation, ideas, discussions and much more. Take this community back to life and much more! Saludos
