You can find various build threads in the barracks section and in the Police Officer and SWAT section of the boards. For the field pack you can check out the topics that are listed under the Field backpack section!

Officially welcome to the MEPD then Wayne! Looking forward to seeing you both in armor, good luck with the build(s).

Welcome to the MEPD Dan, good to have you here! Looking forward to seeing you becoming dirty! Oh and could you please adjust your signature to 600x200 pixels. It's a little bit too big at this moment.

Now that's an ambitious plan, I like it! Going for the highest level that is achievable here from the start is the way to go if you don't want to have to do a lot of rework when emulating a trooper. Good luck What you can do for the ab buttons is taking a coin that is roughly the same size and use that as a template on excess material you have to cut out 3 buttons. That's the cheapest version. Make sure that you get the slit detail under the buttons correct as well. Weathering by using airbrush and acryllic paints isn't the best way to weather your armor. The best way is to use waterbased earth/ terra colours like burnt umber, ocher from Woodland Scenics. If you mess up or aren't satisfied you can easily remove it and start over. And if you need good hd references, you can find a lot of them in this gallery: http://www.looksirdroids.com/hd_caps/index.htm

I'm liking those pouches, they look really nice! Your helmet looks great too and as Hausi said having gaps is screenaccurate. I think that this is going to be a really interesting build! Take your time and I'm sure that with the help from the brothers in Germany you will get a great result. Viel spass und Erfolg!!

Wilkommen zum MEPD Paul, Welcome to the MEPD! You have chosen wisely and with a bunch of SWAT troopers in germany that can help you out I'm expecting a great endresult

Or cleaning the dewback stables.. But I never knew you could talk to birds John

This is going to be interesting as the FISD will try to get this one on board as well. Hopefully we can reach consencus about where it goes but we'll have to wait and see how the actual trooper will look. I'm liking the big gun for sure...and black boots??

Hey Pete, welcome to the MEPD and how cool is it to have someone from New Zealand on the boards here! Shout out if you are in need of any assistance, we're here to help!

All, There haven't been a lot of changes in the staff for 2018/2019. There is one big change though and that is that Strider is stepping down as XO and Henselmoster will fill his position. The job of Chief Media Officer will be filled by Punisha. Furthermore the Media team will exist out of Airborne Trooper and Lovemonkey as Intelligence Officers. The position of Sgt. at Arms will be filled by Scribbler next to his task as one of our Deployment Officers. The other Deployment Officers are Hausi and bigwam. As our Financial Officer Trooper1 is still the man in charge. Other interesting tasks like the Armorer program will be monitored by Punisha andAirborne Trooper. Lovemonkey will have the honorable task, besides being part of the media team, to get us to 500 deployed troops this year and SandmanTigui will keep assisting Gordonator, our Merchandise Officer. The trooper responsible for our tech will remain Happytrooperdotcom.
