Trooper Peter

Hey Lou, glad to see you embarking on the DIRTY SIDE armored costuming. I'm sure your TD when completed will turn out great and accurate, likewise for your scratchbuilt T-21 too. This is after having seen how your Original Trilogy Darth Vader Helmets and top notch TESB Boba Fett costume turned out.

Just dropped Noel an e-mail concerning this. EDIT : typo corrected.

A recent discovery this morning. The MEPD forum was A-OK when I used it last night (with Firefox Version 3.5.7) However, the icon buttons that automate the application of these basic functions does not seem to work or FROZE at this moment : i. Remove formatting ii. "Insert Special Item" iii. Fonts iv. Sizes v. Text Color vi. Bold vii. Italics viii. Underline ix. Text formatting x. Emoticons xi. Insert Link xii. Insert Image xiii. Insert E-mail Link xiv. Wrap in Quote Tags, and xv. Wrap in Code Tags

Thanks for posting up this thread and pictures Rolf. A very helpful resource centre esp. for those who aspire to be MEPD Deployed.

Thanks for the heads up announcement, Noel. We shall be looking forward to a faster and smoother MEPD forum after this said makeover has come to pass... Like this old saying goes, NO PAINS, NO GAINS. If little labour, little are our gains: Man's fortunes are according to his pains. – Hesperides 752

I'm still using Mozilla Firefox Ver. 3.5.7 and the MEPD forum is functioning perfectly normal to me.

Saludos Juan, looks like you and fellow Mexican Garrison members have had a ball in this Adidas Originals party event! Hmm...even the Jawas and Tusken Raiders made their way there too eh? Good thing there are Sandtroopers such as you to enforce the Galactic Empire's Law and Order so that nothing gets out of hand!

Well done Noel - new look for this new year!

"Man there is nothing WORSE than old Jedi FARTS!!" - :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congratulations on your MEPD Deployment My 2 cents here - this is an excellent photoshopped picture : You may improve it further by blurring the lines between you and your background to create a more natural blend. So there are some Rebel scums hiding among the moisture farmers eh? <_<

That's very good to hear Zac. Glad to hear that you have sustainable online connection now.

You mean you were not involved with this event : adidas originals x Star Wars @ adidas store Champs Elysées Paris (06.01.10) that is shown on this YouTube video clip at : Hmmm I was planning to applying my Sandtrooper weathering medium onto it. ;)

Thanks bro, you're THE man. Good thing I've more than enough metal wire to spare, after affixing them to the "T-tracks" of my Cushmann DLT-19, to be used on my Radio Box. Glad to have discovered something "new" today.

Eh you still need a few parts? I thought you've everything in hand to complete your TD Armor? Ha ha ha ideal weather to do a Snowtrooper / Snow Commander costume, but not so for a TD! I noticed that you've got this piece of wire going halfway across your Radio Box at : is to keep the epoxy curing parts together or as a permanent feature?

Congratulations (again) Noel, and thanks to Mike for all your contributions to MEPD. Noel, when's the BBQ of grilled Bantha steak going to be to celebrate this?

Here is a picture me with a pair of these Adidas Stormtrooper shoes, which was taken during the 501st Malaysia-Brunei Outpost's Adidas Star Wars promo trooping on 17 January 2010 : If people think that this a clean pair Adidas TK shoe, wait till you see the wonders of weathering that I'll do it to make it the Adidas Star Wars SANDTROOPER shoe!

CONGRATULATIONS mate, on your MEPD Deployment! I sense that you'll soon be making a spud Dewback Lizard for Andrew to commemorate your MEPD Deployment.

Xavier, congrats on your MEPD Deployment!

Congrats Krzysztof on your MEPD Deployment!

Charlie, thanks for your recommendations. I'll position my Seed Trays with the untrimmed lip to be on top /facing up and mount the necessary Backpack components on them. Yes and the Seed Trays with the trimmed lip gets attached to my TD Backpack frame.

Looking good Rolf and thanks for sharing your updates with us.

Charlie, that's a good and innovative idea! This is what I'll be doing with my Top and Bottom pair of Seed Trays. Need your clarification on one point here - the better way to mount the Seed Trays onto the TD Backpack frame is for the untrimmed lip Tray to be facing up and covering the trimmed lip Seed Tray (where it will be attached to the Backpack frame), right? Or is it the other way round? Will appreciate your clarification on this one.

Hey pappy1182, made any further progress with your Sandtrooper backpack?

Nice work. Like my other Sandie bros have said, going DIRTY is THE way, no less!!

Congratulations on your MEPD Deployment Daric!
