Short TRooper

I saw that on the TV this morning and I about fell over that gold is this high. And after the Dems proceeded to cut the tax cuts that President Bush put up and elected to fund their pork projects made me feel even sadder for t his country. We are going under and it scares me...I can't get a job even if I wanted to and then with my Medic Aid being cut I can't even get the care I need now! My armor is going to have to wait now to be finished... Short Trooper (Diana)

AMEN , I agree with that! SHort Trooper (Diana)

I just want to be able to buy food, gas, and pay my utilities with out having to watch every single penny I get and wonder if I'll have enough money to do any fun things at all during the month. I have cut back a lot on things we used to do but now we sit here and pretty much just watch the TV as it's too expensive to go any where! I am at least getting my armor finished and hoping to be in the 501st soon and then i n here as a Sandtrooper. Even working on my armor has been hit as I've had to wait now to get stuff to finish it. I just hope whoever is elected inthe fall wit have the real brains and know how to safely get this greart country back on it's feet and back to the was it was when I was a kid of 10 about 39 years ago.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to every one here!!!! Short Trooper

I would like a set and I would like to know how much they are as I will save up to get them if they arent a lot. I have been buying things piece by piece on ebay and I can't find the Sterilite Dlear Storage box 1752 for the main boxes any where! I looked at litter boxes, (they don't look right) and other things but the main boxes on this pack look better. I want my pack to look right, and pass muster when I get my armor finished to be a SandTrooper. Short Trooper (Diana)

What I would like to know is where I can get the main boxes you used at? They look like seed trays I have seen but they are too big (14 x 22 Inches long) Are they availible here in the US at all? I would rather use the main seed tray boxes than a Sterilite Clear box and I can't even get those here where I live. Oh, and how much are they if they are availible in the US? Short Trooper.

What all do you merchandise? DO you have a place where you can get patches like the MEPD logo on the page here? If you do I would be interested in one if they aren't a lot of money and arent hard to get. Short Trooper (Diana)

Howzit ST! Welcome to the MEPD. What type of armor are you working with? T I think it is the ABS plastic as it is very thin and easy to bend. IT is the A new Hope Stormtrooper armor I think. I am new at this so pardon if I don't know all the lingo to the armor stuff. The kit the guy made for me was just the basic armor and apparently didn't come with a lot of other stuff. He finished the helmet for me that he was to send as a kit, which I didn't know he was going to do. I have trimmed a lot of the armor off but am afraid to trim any more. The calf pieces are hard to see how much to trim as my legs are VERY short . THe thigh pieces still need a tiny bit off the top as it's still hitting me in the groin and knee cap. The calf pieces are still hitting me mid knee cap but I don't want to trim too much more off or it will wreck the look of the armor. I also have been using velcro th hold the armor together as I cannot handle the smell of the ESB glues. (I have multiple allergys to certain glues paints and solvents, plus a neuropathy disability which disfigures my hands and lower legs a bit) I will try to have some one take pictures of me with the armor on, and you can see how it looks so far. I have been lurking on this site for a while and have gotten quite a bit of information on making the back pack and the Dewback prod.( One of my most prized possesions is a large scale toy Dewback with the Sandtrooper riding on it's back. It's 36 inches long and the Trooper is 12 inches tall . The whole thing together is 6 pounds!) On thing I am having trouble finding is the Sterilite Clear 1752 for the main box on the back pack. I did find a web site that carries it so I may have to order it there if I can't find it here. Short Trooper (Diana)

Hi my name is Short Trooper and am wanting to be a Sand trooper and am trying to modify my Storm Trooper armor. I am hoping to be a full fledged member of the MEPD but do I have to become a member of the 501st first??? well I am just trying to get it to fit right now as I am working on it very slowly to get it on first. I am in the process of making a back pack and a Dewback prod, and I have a head set and small audio speaker for my helmet already. I am working on the belt to get it finished, but my biggest problem is getting the armor to fit as I am very short and small. I am 5 ft 1 inch tall and weigh a whole 114 pounds. I am also a lady trooper, and very petite. I came over tot his site on recomendations of a few Sand/Storm Troopers onthe 501st board. Short Trooper (diana)
